On December 31, 2023, Japan hosted its 74th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, which was attended by some of J-Pop and K-Pop’s top stars.
Joining some of J-Pop’s top stars, such as Perfume, Yoasobi, Misia, Atarashii Gakko!, and JYP Entertainment group NiziU, were popular K-Pop groups LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids, and TWICE‘s sub-unit, MISAMO.

Recent behind-the-scenes content has shown that before the ceremony, many of the K-Pop idols attending the show were able to interact.
TWICE’s Mina, Sana, and Momo, who form the sub-unit MISAMO, were able to meet with fellow J-Line K-Pop idols, LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha and Sakura, which resulted in them filming content that quickly went viral.

Just like TWICE’s official TikTok caption states, netizens loved how “perfectly matching” the idols were together, and many were thrilled at the unexpected collaboration.
Some noted that their combined visuals made them seem like they were in one group, while others loved that ballerinas Kazuha and Mina danced beside each other.
