AILEE will perform at Japan's year-end music festival. AILEE attended the press conference for the 75th NHK 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' held at NHK Broadcasting Center in Tokyo, Japan on the 19th. They were invited as a first-time performing artist.

They couldn't hide their excitement. They expressed, "It's an honor to be able to stand on such a big stage in the year we debuted," and pledged, "We will show a great performance."

'Kohaku Uta Gassen' is a special music program broadcast by NHK every December 31st, featuring artists who have had great success over the past year.

AILEE gained this opportunity just 8 months after their debut. Even before their official debut in Japan, they were invited to 'Kohaku Uta Gassen,' proving their strong local popularity.

Their achievements were remarkable. Their debut mini-album title track 'Magnetic' exceeded 100 million streams on Oricon, setting a record for the shortest period for a female group.

Thanks to the popularity of 'Magnetic', AILEE topped various charts. They ranked first in the first half of the year in the 'Tower Records Music Streaming' new artist category.

Meanwhile, AILEE recently released their second mini-album 'I’LL LIKE YOU' and are currently promoting the follow-up track 'Tick-Tack'.
