JO1 has decided to digitally release the song 'To. X' (original song by TAEYEON), which was covered by Kinjo Aomi, from their YouTube project 'PLANJ' aimed at improving individual skills and returning the results to the group, starting January 29 (Thursday) at 0:00 on various music distribution services. 'PLANJ' is a popular content where JO1 members freely express the music and visuals they want to share. As the group's activities expand globally, Kinjo Aomi has also utilized his overwhelming style, making his runway debut as a model at 'SEOUL FASHION WEEK' held in Seoul, South Korea last year. In this process of increasing opportunities for overseas activities, improving language skills is also one of the goals, and he covered TAEYEON's song 'To. X', which has received high acclaim as a solo artist and is a member of Girls' Generation. 'To. X' is a hit number that has won numerous music awards, and its mellow R&B atmosphere harmonizes beautifully with Kinjo Aomi's singing voice. Regarding his singing, he commented, 'While respecting the original song, I incorporated my own expression, so please pay attention!' When it was released on YouTube, there were many praises such as 'His voice is stylish, and I want to listen to it forever' and 'His expressiveness is incredible,' and he received high evaluations from Korea for his pronunciation and singing voice. Now, the long-awaited digital release for fans has been realized. JO1's first Tokyo Dome concert, which was held last year, has been made into a live film titled 'JO1DER SHOW 2025 ʻWHEREVER WE AREʼ IN TOKYO DOME – LIVE FILM,' which will be released nationwide starting January 30 (Friday). Additionally, dome performances 'JO1DER SHOW 2026 ʻEIEN 永縁ʼ' are scheduled for April 8 (Wednesday) and 9 (Thursday) at Tokyo Dome, and April 22 (Wednesday) and 23 (Thursday) at Kyocera Dome Osaka.
