For KLovers who haven't had the chance to see it, the K-pop group Kiss of Life successfully made a splash with a special performance at the The Fact Music Awards. Not only did they perform normally, but they showed up in cosplay of characters from One Piece! Starting from Luffy, Sanji, to Zoro, all those iconic characters were brought to life on stage. Even their backup dancers wore Navy themed costumes, too. Plus, there were cool props like Zoro's swords that made the atmosphere feel even more like One Piece.
It didn't stop there, the stage backdrop was also really impressive, KLovers! A giant LCD screen displayed the Thousand Sunny ship, but with a little twist—Luffy's Jolly Roger logo was changed to the Kiss of Life logo. During the medley, their choreography also paid homage to significant moments from One Piece, such as Gear 2 Luffy's pose and the Straw Hat Pirates' farewell to Vivi. It was truly a tribute that left One Piece fans in awe!

If KLovers think this is the first time K-pop and anime have collaborated, it’s important to remember that this collaboration has been around for a long time. Many K-pop artists have paid tribute to anime for ages. For example, BTS once made a song Anpanman that was inspired by a children’s superhero anime. Then, there’s also Jennie BlackPink who collaborated with the creator of Sailor Moon to promote her solo comeback.
It doesn’t stop there; more and more K-pop groups are filling in anime opening songs. There was TVXQ who filled in the opening for One Piece, and recently TXT and Stray Kids have continued that tradition. Other artists like BoA, 2PM, Younha, and Ateez have also jumped into the anime world. The collaboration between K-pop and anime has indeed been booming lately!
