[OSENWORLD] FIVE O ONE have proven their enduring star power by selling out Tokyo’s NHK Hall ahead of their first Japan concerts as part of their 20th anniversary world tour.
The trio — Kim Hyun-joong, Heo Young-saeng, and Kim Kyu-jong of iconic K-pop group SS501 — will perform on Sept. 5–6 under the banner 2025 FIVE O ONE – 20th Anniversary World Tour in Japan.
The shows follow their world tour kickoff in Seoul this July, where FIVE O ONE delivered a mix of nostalgic SS501 hits, solo stages showcasing individual growth, and unreleased tracks that highlighted the group’s new identity. The concerts drew overwhelming fan response and set the tone for their overseas expansion.
The excitement in Japan carries special meaning. SS501 were among the first-generation K-pop boy groups to achieve massive popularity in the country, helping lay the groundwork for the Korean Wave. That history has translated into explosive anticipation for FIVE O ONE’s first overseas stage, with every ticket sold out in advance.
Beyond the stage, FIVE O ONE have been sharing rehearsal clips, behind-the-scenes content, and glimpses of daily life through official channels, strengthening bonds with fans as they prepare for their new global chapter.
With Seoul behind them and Tokyo sold out, FIVE O ONE are ready to continue their legacy on the global stage.
