Nicholas of &TEAM, a group under HYBE Labels Japan, showed a textbook example of a "triumphant return" to his hometown in Taiwan, thrilling local fans.

According to a recently released behind-the-scenes video, &TEAM was invited as guests to Taiwan's major Lunar New Year special program, '2026 Super Star: A Red & White Lunar New Year Special', where they graced the stage with a spectacular performance. This visit was especially meaningful for Nicholas, who is originally from Taiwan.

During the show, Nicholas performed a special collaboration stage, singing the OST of the hit Taiwanese drama 'Someday or One Day'—a song he has long called his favorite—alongside the original singer. Before the performance, he couldn't hide his excitement, saying, "It feels like a dream to perform a song I've loved for so long."

On stage, Nicholas received thunderous applause from the local audience for his sweet vocals and stable performance. Watching him, the members showed their strong bond, remarking, "It felt like watching a family member perform, we're so proud of him," and "It felt like watching family, not just Nicholas."

Although the group promoted as a seven-member unit for this event, &TEAM poured more energy than ever into showing their best to Nicholas's hometown fans. The members showed their determination, stating, "Since it's Nicholas's hometown, we'll show power that never falters," and displayed their wit by preparing local New Year's greetings and skits.

Meanwhile, after successfully completing their schedule in Taiwan, &TEAM expressed their hope, saying, "Next time, we want to visit his hometown again as a full nine-member group." Based on their unrivaled performance and solid teamwork, attention is focused on the future steps of &TEAM as they expand their global presence.
