On Saturday, Nov. 16, the Japanese boy group THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE Live held a fan meeting at the Myeonghwa Live Hall in Seoul with great success. The event is the first fan concert in Seoul since November last year, attracting expectations from fans who have returned for the first time in a year.

Formed in September 2014 and officially debuting in January 2017, THE RAMPAGE comprises 16 members chosen through three auditions.

The fan meeting, titled "2024 THE RAMPAGE FAN MEETING DEAR RAVERS in SEOUL", was a special occasion dedicated to the fans who have long supported the group.

The event kicked off with their 23rd single, "24karats GOLD GENESIS", which topped the Oricon charts. This powerful start was followed by performances of fan-favorite hits "SWAG & PRIDE" and "100degrees".

Member Rui impressed the audience with his fluent Korean, and the rest of the group showcased their improved language skills, expressing heartfelt gratitude to their Korean fans for their unwavering support.

The fan meeting featured a variety of engaging segments, including member talk sessions that offered a glimpse into their candid thoughts and a lively "99-second mission relay," where the members split into two teams, led by Zin and Rikiya, to complete fun challenges.

Adding a dose of humor and charm, Itsuki delighted fans with his impression of a scene from the Korean drama The Penthouse: War in Life, while Takahide brought the house down with his energetic rendition of Gangnam Style. These moments highlighted the group's deep affection for Korean culture.
