TNX (an acronym for The New Six) is a five-member boy group under P NATION. Originally debuting as six members, the group was formed through the SBS survival program LOUD, a collaboration project between J.Y. Park and PSY. They officially debuted on May 17, 2022 with their first mini album Way Up. The group’s lineup was finalized during the finale of LOUD in 2021, where Kyung Jun, Tae Hun, Hyun Soo, Jun Hyeok, Hwi, Sung Jun, and Tanaka Koki were selected for P NATION’s upcoming boy group. However, in January 2022, P NATION announced that Tanaka Koki would not debut with the team in order to continue training, leading the group to debut as six members under the name TNX. On their debut day, they also introduced their fandom name THX, meaning “Together with TNX.” Following their debut, TNX continued building their discography with releases such as Love Never Dies, Boyhood, and the digital single &quot;Fuego&quot;, while also participating in the survival competition Road to Kingdom : Ace of Ace in 2024. During this period, member Jun Hyeok temporarily paused activities due to anxiety before later returning to the group. In October 2024, it was announced that member Kyung Jun would enlist in the military and depart from the group following the completion of his service, reducing TNX to five members. The group continued activities with releases including the mini album For Real? in 2025 and the digital single &quot;Call Me Back&quot; in 2026, maintaining their growth under P NATION.

TNX 用了四年时间，在舞台表现力上建立起自己的口碑。《Die Another Day》则是他们第一次去 Rock 里寻找那份力量。

新人的第一年很残酷。这并不新鲜，但如今边界似乎更窄了。第五代进入了一个注意力分散、业界对“准备度”标准提高而粉丝耐心缩短的生态。新的K-pop名字尚未登台，期待就已拉高。

早起的火花，大有可为：点亮2026的新晋团体

时尚与K-pop历来有交集，但到了2025年，这段关系已经无法再被当作偶发——它现在具有结构性意义

定义2025年K-pop的时尚时刻

有些年份的 K-pop 走得很直。2025 年可不属于那类。那一年行业急转弯得如此剧烈，连资深粉丝也不能假装早有预见。

2025 年最大的 K-pop 惊喜

K-pop 喜欢独唱时刻，但并非总是喜爱个人事业。这是贯穿 2025 年的一条隐秘真相：在这个行业里独自走远，比人们承认的要难得多。

统治2025年的独唱艺人

理论上，迷你专辑应该是最容易把握的格式。四到六首歌，不用构建完整的世界观，有足够的空间去试验一个想法而不会把它耗尽。

小事之美：2025年那些直击人心的迷你专辑

试图预测 2026 年的 K-pop 会是什么样子，有点像在描绘一个移动的靶子。没有什么能静止太久。但这种情况可能会在明年改变。或者至少，各种因素正在排列到一种让人觉得这有可能的状态。

K-pop 在自身节奏下重返全球话语场的一年

虽然 K-pop 主导了对外输出的叙事，韩国的音乐生态远比大多数听众停留的那些路线更广阔、更奇特，也更值得探索。

2025 年必听的非 K-Pop 韩国音乐

十年前，K-pop 巡演的概念非常不同。一次世界巡演通常意味着几个亚洲场馆，运气好的话有一站美国行，也许——如果诸事顺利——还能在欧洲某个并非为流行音乐建造的场地举行一晚演出

视觉之年 2025：年度最引人注目的概念美学

每年都有声音说 K-pop 的视频已经无法再变得更大或更奇怪，但每年导演们都会证明这些声音是错的。2025 年并不像是一种单一潮流，更像是许多门同时被推开。

2025 年必看的 K-Pop 视觉作品

每一年 K-pop 都很热闹，但 2025 年有一种不同节奏的动力——不是单一的爆发时刻，而是一连串悄然推动行业进入新领域的转变
