&TEAM member Jo expressed his anticipation for activities in Korea.

On the afternoon of the 8th, a showcase was held at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of &TEAM's second Korean mini-album 'Mark on Me'.

&TEAM is a global group under HYBE that debuted in Japan in 2022. Their first Korean debut album 'Back to Life' sold over 1.22 million copies in its initial week and secured three number-one positions on music shows.

On this day, Makoto said, "I believe my first activities in Korea were the first step toward reaching a broader stage. It was not an easy challenge, but I am happy that we worked hard together to achieve our major goals of becoming million sellers and winning number one on music shows."

He continued, "I still remember the media showcase where I began my first activities in Korea. Back then, I had more worries, but this time I feel a strong desire to take on bigger challenges."

Additionally, Jo said regarding his expectations for activities in Korea, "I really want to win first place on 'Inkigayo'. Although we have won number one on various music shows during past activities, we haven't been able to do so on 'Inkigayo' yet. If Euiju, who is serving as the MC of 'Inkigayo', calls out our names directly, it would be a special moment."

He added, "I hope this will provide an opportunity for more people who are not familiar with us to get to know us better."

Meanwhile, &TEAM's second mini-album 'Mark on Me' is scheduled for release at 6 p.m. on the 8th.
