Japanese group CUTIE STREET wrapped their first-ever solo concert in Korea to roaring success — then stunned fans by locking in a "super-speed" return for this July.

On March 28–29, CUTIE STREET held 'CUTIE STREET Live in Korea 2026' over two days at the YES24 원더로크홀 in Seoul, meeting their Korean fans in person.

The show delivered the essence of Harajuku's 'kawaii culture' with eye-catching staging and a vibrant setlist that highlighted each member's charm. On the final night (the 29th), they shocked the crowd by announcing on stage that the follow-up concert, 'CUTIE STREET Live in Korea 2026 SUMMER,' will take place July 25–26 at Daeyang Hall, Sejong University in Seoul.

Coming just about four months after their first solo visit, this swift return embodies the members' special affection and passion to repay the overwhelming support from Korean fans. On the 26th, CUTIE STREET appeared on Mnet M Countdown (hereafter 'M Countdown') and performed the Korean version of their mega-hit 'Is Being Cute Not Enough?' (かわいいだけじゃだめですか?), leaving a strong impression on domestic viewers.

The performance clip went viral across the internet and social platforms, with reactions like "They're cute and pretty—and so passionate," "Even their clumsy Korean is adorable," "Cute really does win," and "They seem to speak more Korean than BTS," fueling massive buzz.

Meanwhile, tickets for the July return shows will roll out in stages: Weverse lottery applications open today (the 30th), followed by a pre-sale on April 14 and general sales on April 21.
