hrtz.wav Conquers KCON Japan Stage, Captivating Fans!

K-band hrtz.wav has officially stolen the hearts of their Japanese fans!

hrtz.wav graced the stage at ‘KCON Japan 2026,’ held over two exciting days on the 9th and 10th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

This marked hrtz.wav’s very first overseas live performance, an incredible feat just one month after their debut! They rocked the ‘X STAGE’ on both the 9th and 10th, and then truly solidified their presence by taking on the festival’s highlight, the ‘M COUNTDOWN STAGE,’ on the 10th.

On the ‘X STAGE,’ hrtz.wav treated fans to tracks from their 1st mini-album, ‘The First Wave.’ They performed the title track ‘NINETEEN,’ along with b-sides like ‘Dream,’ ‘어리버리,’ and ‘Highlight.’

And get this: they reportedly reinterpreted TWICE’s iconic hit ‘Feel Special’ with their own unique band flair, completely enchanting the audience!

Then, on the ‘M COUNTDOWN STAGE’ on the 10th, hrtz.wav joined forces with hip-hop group H//PE Princess and Japanese dance team Fabulous Sisters for an explosive opening special stage! They performed BTS’s ‘Not Today,’ instantly igniting the crowd’s energy.

For their main performance, hrtz.wav chose ‘Dream’ and ‘NINETEEN,’ driving fans across Japan absolutely wild!

For those new to the band, hrtz.wav is a five-member powerhouse formed through Mnet’s male band survival program, ‘Still Heart Club,’ which aired from October to December last year. They officially debuted this past April and have been on a roll with their active promotions!
