CUTIE STREET Records First Japanese-Korean Dual Ending for Pokémon Anime

Idol group CUTIE STREET has released a Korean version of their song "Cute na Kyuutai," titled "Donggeuldonggeul Donggeuli." The track will serve as the ending theme for the Pokémon anime in Korea, marking the first time both Japanese and Korean versions of a song have been used for the franchise in each country.

The Korean version was released digitally on October 21. Its music video, directed by Shunji Iwai, depicts the eight members having an indoor adventure on a rainy day. The original Japanese version of the song is the current ending theme for "Pokémon Wonder Voyage" in Japan.

Their March debut on 'M Countdown' generated a performance video with over 15 million YouTube views. Their initial solo concert and subsequent encore in Seoul sold out. A larger solo concert for approximately 5,000 people is scheduled for January 2027 at Seoul's KINTEX Hall 9A.

The group will perform on three major Korean music shows: 'M Countdown' (Mnet) on October 22, 'Music Bank' (KBS) on October 23, and 'Show! Music Core' (MBC) on October 24.

In Japan, the group is currently on a 13-date arena tour across seven cities. Their first album, 'CUTIE LAND,' is scheduled for release on December 2.
