The Digital Idols Step Into the Spotlight: stand by you’s Pre-Debut Promises Unseen Charms
For the first time, stand by you, a six-member boy group under Funtec Inc.’s entertainment division BM Promotion, will transition from their familiar digital realm to a live stage. On December 22, 2025, the group, which has primarily connected with fans through TikTok live, will hold their pre-debut live performance, a moment they describe as showcasing a “completely different” side of themselves.
The journey to this inaugural real stage has been one of intense preparation and dedication. Members have been working tirelessly on three new songs, choreography, costume production, and meticulous health management. Despite the demanding schedule that includes daily live streaming, the group expressed genuine excitement about finally performing their new tracks live.
Behind the Scenes: Dedication in Recording and Costume Creation
The preparation process offered a glimpse into the members’ commitment. During recording sessions, each member demonstrated a deep passion for their craft.
SHUTO, the creative lead, was particularly focused, stating his refusal to compromise on even the smallest details and re-recording takes until satisfied. This dedication was acknowledged by the producer, who praised SHUTO’s exceptional expressive power as a driving force behind the group’s overall quality.
REO also delivered a powerful performance during recording, with fellow members noting his significant growth in vocal expression. The collective sentiment in the studio was a strong desire to deliver “stand by you as music” that transcends their streaming presence.
Costume production involved input from all members, aiming for a unified design that reflects their unique style while being visually impactful on stage.
From Digital Connection to Real-World Impact
As BM Promotion’s first “streaming-main” group, stand by you has cultivated a strong connection with fans nationwide through TikTok live. While initial concerns existed about relying solely on streaming, the group now sees their honed communication skills and close fan interaction as significant strengths.
They anticipate that the real-life encounter will offer a profound “special feeling” for their dedicated audience. The members also highlight their strong internal communication, attributing their balanced dynamics to a mix of emotional and calm personalities within the group.
What to Expect: A “Cool” and Unified Performance
The pre-debut live will feature three new original songs, allowing the group to showcase their unified identity through synchronized performances and matching costumes. The members’ primary goal is to present a “cool” image, contrasting with the more talk-centric nature of their live streams.
Beyond the performance, the deep bond forged during their trainee days is expected to translate into a powerful sense of unity on stage. Visuals are also a key focus, with members playfully encouraging fans to anticipate their polished appearance.
Each member approaches this debut with individual resolve:
-
SHUTO aims to deliver core performances, reflecting his responsibility as the creative lead.
-
YUMETO seeks to showcase a captivating gap between his cute visual and powerful high notes and dance.
-
REO is determined to reveal a “cool artist” side, distinct from his usual persona.

A Future Forged Together
When asked about their thoughts as they step onto the stage, the members shared profound sentiments. SHUTO expressed a “number one” mindset, while DAISUKE viewed it as the first step in a journey of growth. REO wished to show his development and gratitude to long-time supporters. YUMETO and KAI both envisioned creating a “surreal world” to excite their fans.
The group extended a heartfelt message to their fans, acknowledging their crucial support. “Without all the fans who have supported us, we wouldn’t be standing here,” they conveyed, emphasizing that the pre-debut live is also a gesture of gratitude. They eagerly anticipate meeting fans in person, inviting them to join in the excitement and promising to continue growing and building the future together.
This pre-debut marks not just a concert but the beginning of a new chapter for stand by you, bridging the gap between digital connection and the tangible thrill of live performance. Their journey highlights a growing trend in the entertainment industry where groups leverage online platforms to build a dedicated fanbase before making a powerful entry into the traditional live stage scene, offering an enriched experience for fans who have been with them from the start.
