KO1KEYZ drop debut single on Nov. 7 — MV already at 7M views, Seoul fan meeting sold out

6 tracks, two languages, one debut

KO1KEYZ drops their debut single on November 7 at midnight. The 12-member global boy group shares the single's name: KO1KEYZ. A Korean-language version of the title track follows at noon.

Six tracks total. The single includes both Korean and Japanese versions of KO1KEYZ, plus:

• 恋GAME (코이게임) — built around game terminology, about the conviction that any stage can be conquered together
• Key of Story (키 오브 스토리) — the group's declaration of moving toward the future and a new beginning
• 新世界(SHINSEKAI) -KO1KEYZ ver.- (Korean ver.) — the audition program's theme song, rerecorded by KO1KEYZ
• Celebrate (셀러브레이트) — exclusive to the Korean physical album

The 12 members: Daiki, Issa, Keito, Kosuke, Ryoga, Ryuji, Shinhaeng, Siyeong, Towa, Yoshiki, Yuki, and Yura.

From audition to 7 million views

KO1KEYZ formed through PRODUCE 101 JAPAN 新世界(SHINSEKAI), a global audition program that also produced JO1, INI, and ME. Votes came from national producers and SEKAI producers across more than 180 regions. The group name works two ways: the love (恋, koi) of the producers who brought these 12 together, and a call to "come open the door to a new world" (来い!, koi).

The title track's digital audio dropped in Japan on August 17. Since then, the music video on their official YouTube channel has crossed 7 million views. It hit No. 1 on the YouTube Music Trending Chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Japan Hot Shot Song Chart.

Seoul fan meeting, all four sessions gone

Their first solo fan meeting, 2026 KO1KEYZ 1ST FAN MEETING, ran at Tokyo Toyota Arena on August 21–23 and Kobe World Memorial Hall on September 9–10. Every session sold out. The Seoul fan meeting at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall on November 7–8 follows the same pattern: all four sessions are sold out. (Debut day and fan meeting day landing on the same date is a flex, honestly.)
