K-pop group TEMPEST has solidified their popularity in Japan with the release of their second mini-album, 'BUBBLE GUM (버블 검)', which debuted at number 12 on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart and number 10 on the Oricon Weekly Album chart as of December 18. Following their successful debut mini-album 'BANG!

To celebrate the album's release, TEMPEST held solo concerts in Osaka and Tokyo, marking their first solo performances in 1 year and 4 months. The concerts allowed them to connect deeply with fans through a diverse setlist that included officially released songs, performances from the Mnet survival show 'Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE', and Japanese cover songs.

With their activities in Japan gaining momentum, TEMPEST plans to continue their global endeavors through upcoming albums and performances.
