Global boy group AEN is rapidly emerging as a next-generation global idol as major Japanese broadcasters, radio programs, and music media outlets pour in love calls ahead of their official debut.

■ Consecutive Appearances on Japan's Representative Music Broadcasts

On the 25th, AEN appeared on NHK's music program 'Venue101,' performing the stage for 'X to Z (Next to me) (Japanese ver.),' the title track from their debut mini album '[A NEW ERA OF NOW].' This was followed by a highly polished performance set to be revealed on TBS's music program 'PLAYLIST' early on the 29th.

■ Radio Activities in Full Swing

Following their broadcast appearances, the group is also ramping up local radio activities. Members Jiyong, Haruto, and Kaira appeared on MBC's 'DXTEEN's NICO-NICO K-ROOM,' and on the 30th, Bomin, Haru, and Kaira will guest on MBC's 'M!LK Yoshida Jinto's Recomen!.' In September, Haru, Kaira, and Jiyong are scheduled to appear on TBS Radio's 'Sugimoto Takuya's VAVAVA,' where they will meet with the host who hails from Kumamoto.

■ Sharing Their Charm Through Music Magazine Interviews

Additionally, the September issue of Japan's representative music information magazine 'BACKSTAGE PASS,' released on the 27th, featured a photo shoot and interview with AEN, introducing the group's charm to local readers.

Having already taken over major Japanese media outlets before their official debut, AEN will simultaneously release their debut mini album '[A NEW ERA OF NOW]' in both Korea and Japan on August 5th, launching full-scale activities with the title track 'X to Z (Next to me).'
