Hello Korea Fam! As we gracefully step into 2026, the K-pop world is already buzzing with high notes and even higher fashion. And leading the charge? None other than the incredibly talented group, UNIS, who just set the stage ablaze – quite literally – with a stunning performance and impeccable style at one of Japan’s most anticipated year-end spectacles!
For the second consecutive year, UNIS, comprising members Jin Hyeonju, Nana, Gehlee Dangca, Kotoko, Bang Yunha, Elisia, Oh Yoona, and Lim Seowon, graced the prestigious 9th Momoiro Kohaku Uta Gassen. This grand event, hosted by Japan’s beloved girl group Momoiro Clover Z, is more than just a countdown live; it’s a star-studded gathering where iconic Japanese artists and the year’s hottest talents unite. UNIS‘s invitation, making them the first K-pop artist to be featured two years running, truly solidified their burgeoning global footprint and immense popularity in Japan.
On December 31, 2025, at the illustrious Tokyo Budokan, UNIS appeared as the third act for the White Team, radiating an undeniable festive aura. Their chosen stage attire was nothing short of a sartorial triumph: exquisite ensembles in a harmonious blend of white, pink, and purple. These vibrant hues, embodying the joyous spirit of the year-end, were flawlessly complemented by adorable teddy bear hats, amplifying their signature youthful and lovable charm to its peak.
Sophia’s Style Critique: “The choice of a white, pink, and purple palette for UNIS was simply divine. It wasn’t just playful; it was a deliberate statement of chic innocence. The teddy bear hats were a stroke of genius – a high-fashion nod to youthful whimsy, elevating their overall aesthetic from mere cute to utterly captivating. A truly sophisticated yet approachable styling choice for such a grand stage.”
The night saw the broadcast premiere of their second Japanese digital single, ‘mwah…’ (幸せになんかならないでね), a moment that sent waves of excitement through the audience in both Korea and Japan. The performance was a masterclass in captivating stage presence. The eight members, with their diverse and engaging expressions, brought the bouncy melody to life, while their perfectly synchronized group choreography fueled the palpable energy of the venue, making it impossible to look away.
Following their mesmerizing set, UNIS engaged in a brief, heartwarming chat with the MCs. Member Kotoko expressed her profound honor at performing on the magnificent Budokan stage through the “Momoiro Kohaku Uta Gassen.” Meanwhile, Nana reflected on 2025, highlighting how the release of two Japanese digital singles allowed the group to achieve significant growth. Beyond their stellar performance, UNIS, as part of the White Team, proudly secured a victory, capping off 2025 on a high note by joining all participating artists in the New Year’s countdown.
