UNIS, a global girl group, held a fan event in Tokyo to celebrate their new digital single, performing for the first time in Japan.

Born from the girls' group audition program "UNIVERSE TICKET," the global girl group UNIS, based in Korea, held a "UNIS Japan Digital Single Release Commemorative Fan Event" on December 30 (Tuesday) at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza Festival Square. This event was held to commemorate the release of their 2nd Japanese digital single "Don't Be Happy" on December 17 (Wednesday), and it was a rare opportunity for UNIS to perform their previously released digital singles "Hello♡" and "Don't Be Happy" for the first time in front of Japanese fans. The mini-live opened with "Hello♡," their first Japanese digital single released in September this year. This song, written by the popular creator unit HoneyWorks, features a catchy pop sound and the memorable phrase "Hello." When UNIS appeared on stage, the venue was filled with loud cheers, and as the performance began, the members' bright smiles and synchronized dance captivated the audience. After the performance, leader Hyunju commented, "I am very happy to finally show the stage of 'Hello♡.' It was my first outdoor stage in Japan, and I was a bit nervous, but I was really happy that the EverAfter (fan name) were watching over me with kind eyes." Pan Yuna shared her thoughts on recording in Japanese for the first time, saying, "The pronunciation of 'tsu' was difficult." Jelly added, "I wanted to not only sing well in Japanese but also maximize my charm. My goal was to impress the Japanese members (Nana and Kotoko) when they heard my Japanese, and I worked hard for that." Japanese member Kotoko expressed her joy, saying, "When it was decided that we would perform a song in Japanese as UNIS, I was really moved. It was my dream to sing a song in Japanese, so I was very happy. My family and friends also imitated the dance, and seeing their reactions made me really happy." Next, they performed their 2nd Japanese digital single "Don't Be Happy," released on December 17 (Wednesday). This song, written by singer-songwriter Koresawa, is a love song that depicts the excitement and sadness of falling in love in relatable words, showcasing UNIS's cuteness and emotional expressiveness. Nana commented on Koresawa's song contribution, saying, "I have loved her since I was little, so when I heard she would write a song for us, it felt like a dream. From the moment I first heard it, I thought it was a really wonderful song, and I love it very much." Kotoko also said, "For me, Koresawa is my youth itself, and I have always sung her songs at karaoke. I was really honored to work with such a beloved artist this time." Additionally, dancer Hana, who choreographed the song, made a surprise appearance. Hana, who had never choreographed for a K-POP artist before, expressed her happiness, saying, "I have choreographed for Japanese idols before, but this was my first time for a K-POP artist, and I am really happy that it was for UNIS!" She also explained the points behind the choreography and taught cute movements inspired by "mwah," creating moments where UNIS and fans enjoyed together. Through the two Japanese digital singles, UNIS delivered new charms to their Japanese fans, raising expectations for their future activities in Japan. UNIS is also set to appear in a special live broadcast program "9th Momoiro Uta Kassen" on ABEMA on December 31, where they will perform "Don't Be Happy." Attention is focused on this special stage where they will deliver the song performed for the first time at the Japanese digital single release event on a large year-end music program.
