C9 Entertainment's rookie boy group NAZE (네이즈) will make their debut stage in Japan.
NAZE (Kaisei, Yoon-ki, Ato, Turn, Yuya, Kim Gun, Do-hyeok) will participate as the opening act for the '41st Mynavi Tokyo Girls Collection 2025 AUTUMN/WINTER' (hereafter 'TGC'), which will be held at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Sept. 6.
'TGC' is the largest fashion festival to celebrate its 20th anniversary this year, gathering personalities, fashion, music, corporations, and media in one unique entertainment event. Approximately 5 million viewers have been watching it through official streaming on YouTube, X, TikTok, and ABEMA.
Although NAZE has not officially debuted yet, they have proven to be a hot topic locally by confirming their spot on the 'TGC' lineup. This 'TGC' will particularly be the first official occasion and performance for NAZE members to meet fans, generating high expectations.
Following the performance, NAZE will continue their pre-debut activities by unveiling a previously unreleased new song on social media on Sept. 7.
NAZE is the first multinational boy group launched by C9 Entertainment in five years and the first in the company's history. The team name NAZE, an abbreviation of 'New Adventure's Zestyfull Echo', means 'cape', a terrain where land and sea meet and symbolizes an adventure to find one's true self in a place with infinite possibilities where the land ends and the sea begins.
In particular, all seven members of NAZE have been confirmed to be cast as key characters in the Friday drama 'DREAM STAGE', which will air during prime time on Japanese terrestrial channel TBS in January 2026. Ahead of the drama, NAZE is showcasing their various charms through the reality content '~NAZE DREAM STAGE~' available on the TBS official YouTube channel and the Japanese private broadcasting catch-up service TVer.
As news of their appearance at 'TGC' has emerged, NAZE has once again demonstrated their unique potential as representatives of the new wave. It has captured the attention of not only K-culture but also the fandoms of dramas and idols in Japan, raising anticipation for what they will showcase on their debut stage.
NAZE plans to actively communicate with global fans through various online and offline promotions.
