Rising K-pop sensation aespa and popular Japanese band &TEAM are confirmed to make their debut performance at the annual Red and White Show, also known as "Kōhaku Uta Gassen." This prestigious music event, broadcast on New Year's Eve in Japan, boasts performances from a variety of both domestic and international acts. The selection of these two groups is not only a testament to their growing popularity but also indicates the event's increasing emphasis on diversifying its roster of performers.

The Red and White Show is one of the most watched events on Japanese television, reaching millions of viewers each year, marking a significant milestone for aespa and &TEAM. Performing at this event is honorific, reflecting the impact and popularity an artist has in the country. Therefore, the inclusion of these two groups signals their major breakthrough in the Japanese music industry.

Similar to "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" in the U.S. or "Top of the Pops" in the UK, the Red and White Show is a festive musical event that marks the end of the year. It is a blend of music, celebrations, and cultural exchanges, with performers from diverse genres.
