5-member boy group "VIBY" appointed ambassadors for "Shibuya Good Manners Project"

Shibuya Mirai Design (Representative Director: Hideki Koizumi, hereinafter Shibuya Mirai Design) is pleased to announce that the 5-member boy group "VIBY" has been appointed as ambassadors for the "Shibuya Good Manners Project," which aims to promote a "Shibuya where everyone can feel safe and comfortable."

Until the end of August 2026, VIBY will serve as ambassadors for the Shibuya Good Manners Project, participating in activities such as cleanup drives and heatstroke prevention awareness campaigns in Shibuya, and promoting initiatives to "spread good manners while having fun" with fans and visitors.

VIBY is a 5-member Japanese boy group produced by Kim Mi-jung, who was involved in discovering and nurturing global artists such as BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER. After approximately three years of training in South Korea, they debuted and their journey has been featured in an ABEMA documentary program. They have garnered significant attention, with a showcase at Nippon Budokan scheduled just two months after their debut.

Furthermore, their representative song "HANAMARU" carries the message "Give yourself a 'hanamaru' (a perfect score)," and from the desire to "praise and celebrate each other, and spread the circle of 'hanamaru,'" they propose social good initiatives that transform street cleanup activities into positive and enjoyable experiences.

The appointment of ambassadors was decided as the Shibuya Good Manners Project's philosophy of "individual actions making the town better" resonated with the positive message conveyed by VIBY.

Activities

As ambassadors, VIBY plans to engage in the following activities until the end of August 2026:

- Participation in cleanup activities held in Shibuya

- Participation in awareness campaigns for heatstroke prevention during the summer

- Dissemination of information on manners through social media and other channels

- Appearances at events related to the Shibuya Good Manners Project (planned)

VIBY Comment We are honored to be appointed ambassadors for the Shibuya Good Manners Project.

Like "HANAMARU," which is important to us, we are very happy to participate in activities where we can find the good in people and the city, and acknowledge each other.

We will work to deliver a "hanamaru" to both the city and its people through cleanup activities and heatstroke prevention, together with everyone who visits Shibuya. Please join us!
