JTR Plays Games and Steals Hearts in Debut at Dave & Buster's

In their breakout tour, the new project group JTR looks to win the hearts of their fans with a unique approach to fan events and group presentations. Currently comprised of self-made artists Ramiro Brave from Texas, Jjange from Atlanta GA, and Toshi from New York, this group pushes the boundaries of entertainment with their “not a boy group” mindset, creating a safe space for everyone. Formed in late 2025 after appearing at Kprodigy’s Kpop Euphoria night in Montgomery AL, they decided to collaborate and meet fans in fresh ways starting in 2026. This band of talented artists blends Jjange’s soulful voice, Toshi’s emo/punk edge, and Ramiro’s honest lyricism into performances you won’t want to miss this year. Their tour kicked off in Hoover AL, just outside Birmingham, at a collaborative event with Dave & Buster’s.

After check-in wrapped up for participants, fans headed to the game floor to have fun alongside the members, wandering to pick out games together. The three members joined a fan for a lively Mario Kart showdown, where the fan ultimately claimed victory and earned playful concessions from the group. Smaller carnival-style games and claw machines offered multiple tries, drawing crowds, especially one claw machine overflowing with colorful rubber ducks that fans eagerly won to gift the members. A Hungry Hippo matchup saw a couple of fans team up with Toshi, then Ramiro, racing to rack up points in the time limit. They quickly spotted the unbeatable hippo but laughed it off as great fun and a solid workout. As gameplay wound down, everyone gathered back in the reserved room for a surprise that amped up the excitement.

The surprise kicked off with group introductions, where the members dubbed themselves one of the most chaotic acts around, fresh off a TV interview that morning on a local news station. Each shared their disbelief and thrill at hosting their first event together as JTR. Jjange took the stage first, delivering a cover of Jung Seunghwan’s ‘The Snowman’ and admitting he felt nervous and unprepared while clutching lyrics as the crowd hyped him relentlessly. He ramped up the vibe next with an upbeat trot cover of Park Sangchul’s ‘Unconditionally,’ rallying everyone to sing the catchy repetitive chorus, which hit a fever pitch when he dramatically shed his jacket at the climax. Shy afterward, he melted into the cheering crowd as his bandmates roared their support.

Ramiro followed with his hit ‘Daydream,’ serenading the room while dancing to its pop/synth waves, his breathy tenor weaving dreamy lyrics straight into fans’ hearts. Wrapping that up, he hyped his newest album, dropped February 6th, calling it his most raw and honest work yet, born from the end of a decade-long relationship that he channeled into inspiration. He dove into ‘0417,’ unpacking the track’s raw tale of relational struggle, betrayal, and hard-won vindication. Next came ‘Drive,’ an upbeat anthem about shaking off pain and hitting the road ahead as he prefaced it by candidly shading his ex as a truly awful person, making the high-tempo escape feel universally relatable. Introducing Toshi afterward, Ramiro settled front-row, determined to stay close to every fan.

Toshi stepped up, expressing deep gratitude for sharing the stage with Jjange and Ramiro despite their wildly different styles. They reminisced about a rock-filled childhood shaping their sound, then unleashed a gritty cover of Paramore’s ‘Still Into You’ that commanded the room as fans belted every word. The remix of Zedd’s ‘Clarity’ kept the nostalgia surging, with the crowd screaming ‘You are the piece of me I wish I didn’t need’ at full volume. For the finale, Toshi pulled Jjange and Ramiro upfront for a playful group take on NewJeans’ ‘ETA,’ trading dances and fan interactions while everyone sang along. Afterward, each member poured out thanks to the attendees, vowing to reunite as JTR soon.
