K-pop boy group 82MAJOR is set to accelerate its expansion into the Japanese market by signing an exclusive contract with Japanese entertainment giant HoriPro International.

On the 10th, 82MAJOR officially launched their Japanese fan club, '82DE,' through a partnership with HoriPro International, a major Japanese management company, and eplus, Japan's largest ticketing service. This marks the beginning of their concerted efforts in the Japanese music scene.

HoriPro International, the international division of one of Japan's top three entertainment agencies, will oversee 82MAJOR's management in Japan. Leveraging their extensive experience in managing top Japanese celebrities like Satomi Ishihara and Ryoma Takeuchi, HoriPro is committed to providing comprehensive support to help 82MAJOR establish themselves as major artists in the Japanese market.

As part of their Japanese promotions, 82MAJOR will hold their first fan meeting, '82DE,' at the Nissho Hall in Tokyo on December 21st. This strategic move aligns with the group's ambition, reflected in their name, to become 'major' artists not just in Korea but globally, solidifying their presence across Asia.

Currently, 82MAJOR is preparing for a comeback targeted for October and will also hold their first domestic fan meeting, '82DE WORLD,' on the 20th at the Donghae Arts Center of Kwangwoon University in Seoul.

82MAJOR is a 10-member boy group whose name signifies their ambition to become 'major' artists beyond Korea.

They made their official debut on April 27, 2023, with their single album 'ONE.'

The group has garnered significant attention from both domestic and international fans for their strong performances and diverse charms.
