INI made a striking appearance on the red carpet at the M Countdown Concert 2026 during KCON JAPAN 2026, captivating fans with their polished style and commanding stage presence ahead of the highly anticipated concert.

Dressed in sharp, individualistic jackets that reflected each member’s personality, the global Japanese boy group radiated confidence, charisma, and the evolving energy of Japan’s new generation of international artists.

Held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, this year’s KCON officially marked a major cultural shift as the world’s largest K-culture festival expanded beyond traditional K-pop to embrace the growing “J-Pop+” movement, spotlighting Japan’s rising global acts alongside Korean music phenomena.

Under the theme “Walk in SOUL CITY", the festival transformed the convention grounds into an immersive cultural experience featuring K-Beauty activations by Olive Young, interactive fan experiences, and the newly introduced K-Story Zone, where ScreenX panoramic theatre presentations showcased concert films from both INI and JO1.
