The idol group TRENDZ is kicking off its 2026 activities with a new single release and a European tour.
TRENDZ will release the digital single ‘Kart Racer’(Kart Racer) at noon on February 13. The new track ‘Kart Racer’ expresses tenacity and strength that race unreservedly toward a goal, channeled through the group's signature bright and cheerful energy, hinting at a different charm from its previously intense image. As it arrives a day before Valentine's Day, it is expected to be a special gift for fans.
On Valentine's Day, TRENDZ will hold a fan meeting in Korea, where the group will premiere the stage performance of ‘Kart Racer’ and spend a meaningful time with fans. As they present the performance to fans right after the release, this fan meeting is expected to be an even more special moment for both TRENDZ and its fans.
With this new song, TRENDZ embarks on a new challenge with a lighter, more upbeat musical transformation. As the first digital single opening 2026, anticipation is growing for what the group will showcase next.

Following the release, TRENDZ will also meet global fans through a tour across major European cities. As previously announced, TRENDZ (Habit, Rion, Yoon-woo, Jo Han-guk, Ra-el, Eun-il, Jeong Ye-chan) will embark on the ‘TRENDZ On the Move Tour in Europe’ from February 21, traveling through five key cities: starting in Mainz, Germany; then Copenhagen, Denmark; Genoa, Italy; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Dublin, Ireland.
The tour will showcase a more mature and powerful stage from TRENDZ, drawing attention for expanding its reach across Europe by including cities where K-pop concerts are relatively rare. Notably, the Mainz and Genoa shows are by invitation at the ‘K-pop Revolution’ and ‘MegaCon’ events, respectively, and are expected to once again prove TRENDZ's global presence.
Last year, TRENDZ released its fifth single album ‘Chameleon(Chameleon)’ and the digital single ‘Crime(Crime)’ in succession, imprinting the group's distinct identity and power. With support from Japan's Avex Trax, the group continued to expand its global footprint through back-to-back singles and the mini album ‘Canvas(Canvas)’, a solo concert at Tokyo's Zepp DiverCity, domestic concerts, and two European tours.
With the release of ‘Kart Racer’, a Valentine's Day fan meeting, and a European tour lined up, TRENDZ has signaled active promotions both in music and on stage. Kicking off with a bright, exhilarating sprint, the group is set to continue its path toward fans around the world in 2026.
