82MAJOR, a group conceptualized by former FNC executive Kim Young-sun, is set to compete for the 'athletic idol' title.

The group, which debuted in 2023 and consists of members Nam Seong-mo, Park Seok-joon, Yoon Ye-chan, Cho Seong-il, Hwang Seong-bin, and Kim Do-gyun, will appear on MBC's '2025 Chuseok Special Idol Star Athletics Championships' (commonly known as 'ISAC') today at 5:10 PM.

82MAJOR will participate in the wrestling category, which has returned after a five-year hiatus. Known for requiring a blend of strength, technique, and strategic planning, the group is expected to showcase their passion and dynamic energy.

Renowned as a 'performance idol' group, 82MAJOR boasts exceptional stamina and stage presence. Their explosive energy is anticipated to translate into impressive athletic skills at the 'ISAC'. Fans are eager to see if 82MAJOR can continue the legacy of 'athletic idols'.

Since their debut in 2023, 82MAJOR has been actively building their reputation through solo concerts, a North American tour, and performances at various festivals. Recently, they signed exclusive contracts with Japan's major management company Horipro International and ticket service E-Plus, signaling a strong push into the Japanese market.

82MAJOR is also gearing up for a comeback with a new album set to release on the 30th of this month.
