IST Entertainment's rookie boy group TUNEXX had a successful debut first week amid strong interest.
TUNEXX (Dong-gyu, In-hoo, Taira, Seong-jun, Jeon, Si-hwan, Attic) released their first mini album "SET BY US ONLY" on the 3rd. Since then, they have launched full-scale activities with a flashy debut ceremony performing the title track "Evidence that I'm alive" on various music shows.
The title track "Evidence that I'm alive" is an electronic hip-hop track with a message about proving one's presence confidently in their own way in a world that tries to hide "difference" from others. TUNEXX firmly stamped the group's identity with blunt, straightforward lyrics and energetic performances.
In particular, the addictive chorus "chew, bite, taste yum yum" and the witty point choreography performed to it instantly captured K-pop fans' attention. The lyrical outro that follows the intense energy left a deep aftertaste and delivered a highly complete stage.
The performance of the B-side track "100%" presented during debut week was also a hot topic. On a tight rhythm, TUNEXX layered distinctive rapping expressing the members' ambitions to prove themselves as a skilled group. Added to this were the members' warm visuals and sophisticated styling, increasing the viewing pleasure.
TUNEXX's activities continue offstage as well. They are extending their buzz with a dance challenge using short-form videos and are expanding their fandom by showing a different, friendly charm and genuine chemistry among members through their self-produced reality content "My first life: TUNEXX's first moment series."
They also held a mini fan meeting with fans who attended the prerecorded MBC Show! Music Core and, after successfully wrapping up first-week activities through SBS Inkigayo, held their first group live broadcast on their official YouTube channel, directly sharing their thoughts on the stage and expressing gratitude to fans in a special communication move.
Riding this momentum, TUNEXX has shown fierce momentum, immediately occupying top ranks in real-time SNS trends right after debut.
Announcing a pleasant start, TUNEXX will continue active promotions for "Evidence that I'm alive" through various music shows and content.
