JUNON appears in the film RYUJI Ryuji, starring Yukiya Yagira, as the character Hiroshi. Character PVs released August 29 show Hiroshi alongside Nao, played by Riku Hagiwara, with both actors narrating. The PVs depict the characters' devotion to Ryuji, shifting attention from the lead couple to the protagonist's underlings. The film opens October 30.

JUNON is also one of the six members of BE:FIRST selected by the Recording Academy as new members for 2026. That selection grants voting rights for the 69th Grammy Awards in February 2027 and eligibility to attend the ceremony. The Recording Academy's move is separate from any nomination. SKY-HI, the label head of BMSG, received the same membership. The selection comes as BMSG, which manages BE:FIRST, pushes for international expansion.
