Afterwards, there were autograph and photo sessions, and they enjoyed a fun time with Japanese fans.

I hope to have many more opportunities to meet Japanese fans in the future." Leader Jin Hyonju also sent a message to Japanese fans, saying, "Thank you to all the Japanese fans who always send us love from far away! I would be happy if we could have more opportunities to meet Japanese fans in the future! Please continue to support us!" UNIS is a global girls group born from the first girls group audition program "UNIVERSE TICKET" challenged by SBS, one of Korea's three major terrestrial broadcasters, with a total production cost of 10 billion won (about 1.1 billion yen).

Nana, a member, has been attracting a lot of attention even before her debut, such as being unusually selected as the first Japanese MC for the popular Korean music show "THE SHOW." Their debut mini-album "WE UNIS," released on March 27, 2024, recorded the top album in the Philippines and Qatar on iTunes immediately after its release, and ranked high on the iTunes top album charts in 9 countries and the Apple Music top album charts in 4 countries. The title track of the album, "SUPERWOMAN," has also made a mark on the top songs of iTunes in Macau and the Philippines, with all the songs on the album achieving the feat of lining up on the top songs chart of iTunes in the Philippines, attracting attention as the most noteworthy global artist at the moment. Comments from #UNIS after the end of the Japan event have arrived. Thank you very much to everyone who came and supported us from afar!
