This second announcement includes artists representing the second generation of K-POP like Jejung, to the fifth generation BOYNEXTDOOR, AMPERS&ONE, and TWS, with a debut year gap of 20 years, gathering senior and junior artists. It presents an iconic festival that allows a glimpse into the flow of popular music history all at once. Jejung, celebrating his 22nd anniversary since debut, and Apink, marking their 15th anniversary, add weight to the lineup. Jejung, who will perform for the second time following 2024, recorded number one on the Oricon Daily Chart with his release 'Rhapsody' last year in Japan and successfully completed a tour in four Japanese cities, showcasing his overwhelming influence. He will captivate fans again with his exceptional stage presence. Apink, making their first appearance as a 'long-running icon', dominated the charts with their 11th mini-album 'RE: LOVE' released in January this year. In February, they held their eighth solo concert in South Korea, becoming the first girl group to do so, continuing their unique journey. BOYNEXTDOOR, dubbed 'the next generation performance powerhouse', will take the stage at the Weverse Con Festival for the fourth consecutive year. After their first solo tour in 14 cities worldwide and participation in major overseas festivals last year, they will deliver a high-quality performance that 'does not disappoint'. TWS, known as 'youth icons', will perform for the third consecutive year. Following their tour in six Japanese cities last year, they expanded their global activities with a solo tour in Macau and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, bringing fresh energy to the festival ahead of their comeback in April. AMPERS&ONE, making their first appearance, established their status as a global group after a successful tour in 19 cities in North America following their Asia tour. They will showcase an energetic performance at the Weverse Con Festival following their comeback stage in April. LUCY, a band known for their unique musicality and explosive sound, will also make their first appearance. They have taken major festivals by storm and sold out all performances during their solo concert last year, overwhelming the audience with their powerful performance. 82MAJOR, returning for another year, has expanded the scale of their performances tenfold in just two years since debut. They are currently on a European tour, proving their remarkable growth with passionate stages. Yunsana, a member of ASTRO who has started his solo career, completed a world tour in ten cities with his second mini-album 'CHAMELEON' last year, captivating audiences with a more mature stage. Kwon Jina, known for her outstanding vocal ability, will also make her first appearance. Her poignant yet powerful voice, combined with her skills in songwriting and composition, will resonate deeply with the audience. Hwang Minhyun, who is active as both a singer and actor, will perform for the second time. He will create an immersive stage with the depth of music and soft charisma showcased in his new song 'Truth' released in February. With this announcement, the lineup of 20 groups performing at the Weverse Con Festival has been confirmed. The final lineup, including 'tribute artists' who have made their mark in popular music history, is scheduled to be announced in April.
