This year marks the final of Japan's greatest tradition, the strongest newcomer gateway of K-POP, "16th KMF 2024." The participating artists are delivering love and cheers to everyone through the "16th KMF 2024 Heart Challenge" video, providing healing and energy. Each team's unique and cute appearances are sure to make you smile. At "KMF," we always promote the positive influence of K-POP through the GFSC Charity Campaign. So far, artists like BTS, NCT, n.SSign, Super Junior's Siwon, SHINee, 2PM's Junho, Red Velvet, MONSTA X, (G)I-DLE, and major Korean entertainment companies like SM, JYP, and HYBE have supported the good cause of GFSC (Good Friends Save the Children) with warm interest and support. The GFSC Charity Campaign continues as a warm event sharing dreams and hopes for children through music. At the final KMF, the GFSC Charity Campaign will promote the spirit of sharing, making it even more enjoyable for fans to participate in the live event, filled with excitement and opportunities to meet their favorites up close in a once-in-a-lifetime GFSC Charity Campaign - Meet & Greet. This year, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the NPO Japan-Korea Cultural Exchange Association, a charity event will be held on the day of the performance, with all performers participating in the official ceremony of "KMF 2024," including a blue carpet, press conference, and the traditional handprint ceremony. Additionally, there will be a lottery for a chance to meet participating artists (to be announced on the day of the performance) in an air high-five event. KISS OF LIFE and ALL(H)OURS have been appointed as this year's "GFSC Special Public Relations Ambassadors," preparing a Special Meet & Greet to further enhance the warmth of the GFSC Charity Campaign. This Special Meet & Greet, made possible during their rookie days, is expected to create unforgettable memories. Furthermore, in response to the worsening economic disparity and social issues affecting children due to the pandemic, young students in financial difficulty and young caregivers will be invited for free through various stakeholders and organizations. We will also strive to provide ongoing, substantial GFSC support to some students, connecting them with dreams and hopes, not just for this performance. n.SSign, returning to the "16th KMF 2024" after two years, will spend a special and fun time with COSMO at the "KMF 2024 Official Public Relations Ambassador Premium Meet & Greet." As this is the last "KMF," there will likely be memorable talks that can only be heard here. They will also express gratitude to COSMO, who has always supported them with unwavering love, preparing a special photo time to engrave the wonderful memories of "KMF" in their hearts. COSMO will feel proud of n.SSign's growth, creating an emotional moment. Additionally, to heighten expectations for the performance, a video conveying favorite lyrics from "Tiger" and "Happy &" will be released, exciting COSMO. With gratitude to all the fans who have sent warm support so far, the final "KMF" promises an emotional stage that everyone can joyfully enjoy, titled "K-POP for All." The best setlist will be created by Korea's top director, maximizing the appeal of each artist, including new songs, and a unique collaboration stage between Japanese and Korean artists will create a new legend with diverse performances typical of "KMF."
