KINO, a member of PENTAGON and also gaining attention as a solo artist, has decided to hold a performance in Japan, his first in about two years, as part of his first world tour scheduled for 2026. KINO's independent label 'NAKED' released a poster image detailing the world tour schedule through official social media on the 6th of this month. The tour title 'FREE KINO' carries a message of 'KINO becoming more free,' continuing the concept of his recently released 2nd EP 'EVERYBODY'S GUILTY, BUT NO ONE'S TO BLAME.' Additionally, the tour will include a performance in Japan, which will be his first since the 'KINO BORN NAKED Live in Japan' in 2024. This stage is scheduled to take place at SHIBUYA DIVE in Tokyo on March 7, 2026 (Saturday). As the title 'FREE KINO' suggests, this performance will focus on a theme of sound that transcends the K-POP genre and the liberation of self-expression, with expectations for a stage that brings out KINO's cultivated sensibility and talent to the fullest. Tickets will go on sale on mahocast starting from 7 PM on the 21st (Friday). ■ Performance Overview 'KINO World Tour <FREE KINO> in Japan' March 7, 2026 (Saturday) [PART 1] 13:30 OPEN / 14:00 START [PART 2] 18:00 OPEN / 18:30 START Venue: SHIBUYA DIVE Organized by: NAKED, Inc. / mahocast (STONE.B) ○ GA Ticket: ¥12,000 (tax included) *With numbered entry / All standing ○ VVIP Upgrade Ticket: ¥19,000 (tax included) *GA Ticket ¥12,000 (tax included) + VVIP Upgrade ¥7,000 (tax included) Priority entry over VIP upgrade ticket / Farewell meeting / Event limited photo cards 2 pieces (different types for each PART, total 4 types) / VVIP gifts (different types for each PART, total 2 types) / A2 poster signed by hand (lottery: 15 people for each PART) / 1:1 Photo (lottery: 10 people for each PART) ○ VIP Upgrade Ticket: ¥16,000 (tax included) *GA Ticket ¥12,000 (tax included) + VIP Upgrade ¥4,000 (tax included) Priority entry over GA Ticket / Farewell meeting / Event limited photo card random 1 piece (different types for each PART, total 4 types) <Ticket Sales Schedule> - Credit card payment November 21, 2025 (Friday) 19:00 - March 6, 2026 (Friday) 23:59 - Convenience store payment November 21, 2025 (Friday) 19:00 - March 5, 2026 (Thursday) 23:59 *The above ticket sales schedule may change without notice.
