On June 12, 2026, they surprise-released a collaborative track with global icon Janet Jackson, 'Doesn’t Really Matter (Remix).' They further appeared as special guests at Janet Jackson’s 'JANET JACKSON JAPAN 2026' concert on June 14, delivering a joint performance.

This additional New York showcase highlights the group’s growing international appeal and the high level of anticipation abroad.
