The 76th Sapporo Snow Festival 17th KPF2026, representing the 4th and 5th generations of K-POP, will gather four highly anticipated 'next-generation global boy groups' in Sapporo and has unveiled its official poster for the first time. Amidst the beautiful and fantastical snowy landscape of Sapporo, the dazzling starry sky shines like a spotlight illuminating n.SSign, JUST B, ONE PACT, and TIOT, evoking a dream stage where mystery and fantasy intersect. Snow sculptures inspired by iconic Sapporo architecture are also arranged, making the poster representative of the event that has long heated up the Sapporo Snow Festival with music. This year's symbol character for the festival is a concept character born from the combination of the 'Shima Enaga,' which symbolizes Hokkaido's winter, and the 'snowman,' which is the origin of the Sapporo Snow Festival, designed as a 'messenger of hospitality.' The adorable character's expression harmonizes with the poster that immerses viewers in a fantasy world, evoking the warm and soft image of the GFSC charity concert. The event aims to deliver a heartwarming winter experience to visitors in the cold Sapporo of February. The performance will feature high-stage presence performances expressed through the unique music of each group, a historic one-day special collaboration stage that stimulates happiness hormones, different special stages for each team in parts one and two, and a special MC for one day uniting the venue, featuring n.SSign's Kazuta, Songyoon, and Hanjun, JUST B's DY, ONE PACT's Jongwoo, Songmin, and TIOT's Geum Junhyun. Additionally, there will be various GFSC Charity Campaign - Meet & Greet opportunities that bring the total of 23 performers closer to fans, delivering moments of excitement and emotion that will leave audiences breathless. n.SSign, who will appear as the official ambassador, is set to make a comeback with their new song 'Funky like me' on January 13. In anticipation of their comeback, they have been releasing concept photos. The Funky version captivates with a transparent, sexy, and cute visual, while the Like version, released on January 2, showcases the individuality of the seven members in a retro mood. The Me version released today features a chic expression with an intense energy in their gaze. Their sophisticated style exudes a luxurious aura, heightening expectations for the new song. n.SSign surprised fans with a debut performance of 'Funky like me' at the KBS Song Festival in December, receiving enthusiastic responses from fans for their 'perfect visuals' and 'dynamic group dance,' further boosting expectations for the concept. At the Sapporo Snow Festival 17th KPF2026, anticipation is high for their sophisticated and perfect visuals, promising a 'cool' and 'stylish' unconventional and funky stage. The funky performance, blending sophistication and playfulness to the upbeat rhythm of 'Funky like me,' will allow audiences to fully enjoy the presence of the evolving 'next-generation global group.' Ahead of the performance, fans supporting n.SSign, JUST B, ONE PACT, and TIOT can apply for the final advance ticket sales until January 7 (Wednesday).
