About JO1

Formed in 2019 through the competitive survival audition program "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN", JO1 comprises members chosen through votes from the audience, affectionately known as "producers". Since their debut in March 2020, every single released by JO1 has achieved the number one position on major music charts.

They are involved in larger projects that promote Japanese culture globally, such as the "HOT JAPAN with JO1" initiative. Moreover, JO1 has become a regular feature on the New Year’s Eve "NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen" for three consecutive years.

In 2024, they will embark on a nationwide tour across four cities, boasting 14 performances, and in 2025 they will elevate their global reach by touring six cities including Los Angeles and New York. This culminates in their first solo concert at Tokyo Dome, gathering an audience of 250,000.

To celebrate their fifth anniversary, they released a BEST ALBUM whose title track, "BE CLASSIC", became the first song by a Japanese boy band to chart on the Mediabase Top 40 Radio Airplay in the U.S. The year 2025 will mark a significant turning point for JO1's global expansion.

Currently, the documentary film "JO1 THE MOVIE: Unfinished - Bon Voyage -" is screening successfully, showcasing the group’s journey over the past five years.
