Hive Global Group's &TEAM showcased outstanding stage skills at the year-end 'Gayo Daejeon.' On December 25, &TEAM performed the Korean mini-album's first release track "MISMATCH" at SBS's "2025 Gayo Daejeon," held at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. "MISMATCH" is a 1990s R&B-style song that sings about the special synergy created by different personalities. Based on a beat that evokes Y2K vibes and smooth pop sounds, the song delivers its emotional line simply and gained popularity comparable to the album's title track.

On this day, &TEAM appeared on stage wearing pure white outfits, radiating a lively and cheerful energy different from the original song. "MISMATCH" was rearranged to suit the holiday atmosphere, and their soft vocals and delicate expressions with added warm emotions captivated the audience's hearts.

&TEAM made their first appearance at the "Gayo Daejeon" in 2023. At that time, they showcased dynamic synchronized choreography with the title track "FIREWORK" from their mini-album 2 "First Howling: WE," and received positive responses by reinterpreting S.E.S.'s "I'm Your Girl." They also left a strong impression by passionately singing Super Junior's "Miracle" alongside BOYNEXTDOOR, ZEROBASEONE, and RIIZE.

Having released their Korean mini-album 1 in October 2023, &TEAM has successfully established themselves in the K-pop scene. At this "Gayo Daejeon" stage, they demonstrated their further growth and the unique charms of all nine members. In particular, &TEAM's relaxed stage manners and live performance skills stood out, confirming their status as top-tier artists.

Before the performance, on the red carpet, &TEAM communicated with fans worldwide by sharing their thoughts and determination in four languages: Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese. &TEAM expressed, "It is an honor to stand on the 'Gayo Daejeon' stage again since our Korean debut," and added, "We have prepared a unique stage, so please enjoy it." They also wished everyone a meaningful day.

Meanwhile, &TEAM is scheduled to appear consecutively on major year-end music programs and festival stages in Korea and Japan, including the "Music Bank Global Festival in Japan," the "67th Japan Record Awards," and "Kohaku Uta Gassen." &TEAM's future activities are drawing great anticipation from K-pop fans.
