The 76th Sapporo Snow Festival will feature K-Pop groups JUST B and ONE PACT, marking their first performances in Sapporo.

The official sponsored event of the Sapporo Snow Festival, '76th Sapporo Snow Festival 17th KPF2026', to be held on February 7 next year, will implement a global fan vote for the first time, confirming the participation of JUST B and ONE PACT. With attention focused on the first Sapporo performance of these two groups with enthusiastic fandoms, a video message expressing gratitude to the fans who supported them and their eagerness for their first performance in Sapporo was released. JUST B, consisting of five out of six members from audition programs 'I-LAND', 'UNDER19', and 'THE FAN', is a group that gained attention in the global music scene during the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon the announcement of JUST B's participation, many multilingual comments such as 'Congratulations #JUSTB!!' and 'Congratulations #JUSTB & #ONLYB for making this happen together.' proved their global popularity. SIWOO, who mentioned Sapporo as a place he wants to visit in Japan, conveyed his excitement, saying, 'I can finally perform in Sapporo! I'm really happy!' DY, recognized by members as 'the best songwriter and producer', expressed his happiness to participate in this historic event that has continued for 17 years. GEONU invited fans with a charming gaze, saying, 'ONLYB, let's definitely see the snow in Sapporo together! It's a promise.' They mentioned that in 2025, through self-production, they are in the process of rebranding JUST B, incorporating their thoughts and colors into music. They are also set to make a comeback with their 5th mini-album 'SNOW ANGEL' on November 7, and today, on October 24, they released the pre-release 'GOING SOUTH'. JUST B, with their polished skills and unique music, is attracting attention from global fans interested in K-POP, especially with the news of their first performance in Sapporo. The world of 'SNOW ANGEL', which will soon be fully unveiled, will blend with the beautiful and fantastical Sapporo. ONE PACT, characterized by their 'self-production style' where members handle lyrics, composition, production, choreography, and MV creation, had a close contest in the global fan vote. Immediately after the announcement of their participation, social media was flooded with joyful comments like 'Finally, ONE PACT is coming to my city!!' and 'Congratulations ONE PACT~! Let's have a big breakthrough!' In a video directed to fans, the members of ONE PACT expressed their gratitude for the voting support and their enthusiasm for the performance, showing gentle expressions of relief at their participation confirmation. Jaychan expressed his gratitude, saying, 'To all the fans who voted hard for us to stand on the Sapporo Snow Festival KPF stage! Thank you so much!' The Sapporo performance was strongly desired by both ONE PACT and their fans. Songmin, who has performed at the '12th Sapporo Snow Festival' in 2020, heightened expectations for ONE PACT's long-awaited first stage in Sapporo, saying, 'The audience's reaction was wonderful and very fun. I'm really excited to go with the members again!' This fall, they successfully completed their first North American tour starting from Toronto on September 26, accelerating their global expansion. ONE PACT's sophisticated stage, filled with their artist qualities, energetic performances that elevate excitement, and passionate expressions are something fans should experience live. Ahead of the performance, artist pre-sales for fans supporting n.SSign, JUSTB, ONE PACT, and TIOT started on October 23 at 12:00.
