AEN, a rookie boy group formed as a joint venture between Starship Entertainment and Japan's Amuse, has successfully wrapped up their first showcase in Japan, firing off a spectacular signal flare for their debut.

AEN held their first greeting showcase on the 27th at SGC Hall Ariake in Tokyo, Japan, meeting approximately 3,000 fans in their first official encounter.

On this day, AEN opened the event with their self-composed track 'Clockwise' and a cover performance of girl group Hana's hit song 'Drop.' They then heightened the excitement by performing their new song 'Focus On Me' and the title track 'X to Z' from their official debut album live for the first time.

After finishing the stage performances, the members engaged in sincere communication with fans through a talk corner. They introduced the meanings embedded in their group name — 'new generation' and 'eternity' — and shared their debut preparation process and future goals while personally expressing their gratitude.

In particular, AEN, a multinational group composed of four Korean and three Japanese members, surprised the audience with the announcement that they will release their first mini album and officially debut on August 5, drawing an enthusiastic response.

Having successfully completed the showcase, AEN plans to launch full-scale global activities starting in the second half of the year.
