ComplexCon Hong Kong has expanded its musical lineup with NJZ — the chart-topping K-pop group formerly known as NewJeans.
NJZ will co-headline the event with Quavo, Metro Boomin, and South Korean rapper/producer Zico. The five-member group — Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein — was formed in 2022 by the Hybe independent sub-label ADOR. Since then, NJZ has secured multiple global hits, including their debut single “Attention,” as well as “OMG,” “ETA,” “How Sweet,” and “Supernatural.”
ComplexCon Hong Kong will also mark the first time NJZ will perform under their new moniker and will find the group debuting never-before-heard music.
“We are thrilled to be stepping onto the stage for the first time as NJZ and share something new with everyone,” Minji said in a press release. “It’s a big moment for us and we can’t wait for fans to be a part of this journey with us and show the world our new music that we have been eagerly waiting to share.”
The second annual event will also feature live performances by MC Jin, B.I, Sik-K, Lil Moshpit (Lee Hwi-Min), CHANGMO, ZICO, Shuzo, ¥ellow Bucks, JACE, Digi Ghetto, and THOMEBOYDONTKILL of Digi Ghetto.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome NJZ to the ComplexCon Hong Kong stage this year,” Bonnie Chan Woo, owner and CEO of Complex China, said in a statement. “From their early days, NJZ has captivated audiences with their distinct Y2K sound and nostalgic style that set them apart as trailblazers in the K-pop landscape. Their approach has redefined what it means to be an international girl group, bringing a fresh, unique energy to the scene. This stage marks a pivotal new chapter in their artistic evolution, and hosting their iconic debut as NJZ is a true honor for us.”
ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025 will take place from March 21-23 at the AsiaWorld-Expo convention center. Ohio-born visual artist Daniel Arsham will serve as the global artistic director and has dubbed the event “ComplexCon 3025,” a reference to his signature “future relic” concept. As part of his role, Arsham has curated the convention’s Complex Marketplace, which will feature more than 100 brands and creators across the fashion and pop culture realms.
Arsham will resume his artistic director duties for ComplexCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
“I’m incredibly excited to join ComplexCon as the Artistic Director in 2025,” he said in a press release. “This role feels like a full-circle moment, as so many people in this community have inspired me for years. Bringing together creatives, innovators, and fans from around the world is something I’m passionate about, and am honored to help shape that experience. In the upcoming year, we’re making it bigger than ever with special events in both Hong Kong and Las Vegas. I can’t wait to see everyone come together for what will be an unforgettable moment.”
