Singers Kim Jae-joong and Kim Jun-su will hold a joint fan meeting in Japan for the first time in January next year.

The two singers announced the event, titled "JX 2026 Japan Fan Meeting [Hug & Love]," on the official JX channel on Monday. The fan meeting will take place at K-Arena Yokohama on Jan. 2, 2026, with two shows scheduled for 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The fan meeting marks the duo’s first activity in Japan since its concert "JX 2024 Concert [Identity] in Japan" last year.

Kim Jae-joong and Kim Jun-su successfully wrapped up their joint "JX" concerts in both Korea and Japan. Their collaboration drew strong attention, with all five performances of the their tour — held at KSPO Dome in southern Seoul and Belluna Dome in Japan — selling out.

Building on that momentum, the two artists are preparing to reconnect with Japanese fans.

Presale tickets will be available exclusively for members of Kim Jae-joong and Kim Jun-su’s Japanese fan clubs starting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. Further details about ticketing will be shared via the official JX social media accounts and the fan meeting’s X channel.

Kim Jun-su and Kim Jae-joong first debuted with boy band TVXQ under SM Entertainment in 2003. After leaving the band with member Park Yoo-chun in 2009, they formed trio JYJ in 2010.

Kim Jun-su and Kim Jae-joong released a track, “Sixth Magnitude Star,” for the Japanese drama series "Waru~Who Said That Working Isn’t Cool?~” (2022) in March 2022. Kim Jae-joong released his fourth full-length album, "Flower Garden," in 2024.
