<div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:959px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756538281491metrostyle ntx_VYNO0346.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">NTX, as photographed by Vyn Radovan</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Before coming to the Philippines, <strong>NTX</strong> had already taken their music to Brazil, Kazakhstan, and India. It&#x27;s a feat that shows their journey isn’t just about chasing stages but about connecting with people across cultures. And when it was the Philippines’ turn, they leaned even harder into that closeness.</p><p>NTX is an eight-member group with members <strong>Hyeongjin</strong> (Leader, Main Vocalist), <strong>Yunhyeok</strong> (Leader, Main Vocalist), <strong>Xiha</strong> (Vocalist, Main Dancer), <strong>Changhun</strong> (Vocalist, Rapper), <strong>Hojun</strong> (Lead Vocalist), <strong>Rawhyun</strong> (Main Producer, Main Rapper), <strong>Eunho</strong> (Vocalist, Main Producer), and <strong>Seungwon</strong> (Rapper, Lead Dancer, Maknae). </p><p>“NTX stands for NEO TRACKS NO.X, which reflects our ambition to constantly pioneer new paths. NTFUL (fandom name) is a combination of ‘NTX’ and ‘BEAUTIFUL,’ meaning ‘the journey with NTX will always be beautiful,’” explained <strong></strong>Hyeongjin<strong></strong>, main vocalist and one of the two leaders of the group.</p><p>Their name also represents their mission: to break boundaries, explore new horizons, and expand the K-pop map to new audiences worldwide.</p><p>Formed by <strong>Victory Company</strong>, NTX officially debuted on March 30, 2021, with &quot;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meUP_qyaBJk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Kiss The World</strong></a>,&quot; the lead single from their first EP <strong><em>Full of Lovescapes</em></strong>. </p><p><strong></strong>Yunhyeok<strong></strong>, ½ of NTX’s leaders, told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>, “Some members joined the company through auditions, while others were cast. Each of us dreamed of becoming K-pop idols, and that’s how we eventually came together.”</p><p>Their sound is a gentle blend of genres that straddles the edges of pop, hip-hop, R&amp;B, and EDM. It might feel adventurous and perhaps a tad bit familiar to some, but it’s still the same K-pop we all have come to love.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756544384935metrostyle ntx_VYNO1242.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo by Vyn Radovan</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>“Victory Loves Preparation” indeed</strong></div><p>Before their debut, NTX spent years working on a singles series called <strong><em>The Opening</em></strong>. All four songs from the singles series titled &quot;<strong>Blackhole</strong>,&quot; &quot;<strong>Magic Shoes</strong>,&quot; &quot;<strong>Survive</strong>,&quot; and &quot;<strong>Ubimuhwhan</strong>&quot;<strong></strong> were also included in their <em>Full of Lovescapes</em> album, which made the latter even more memorable.</p><p>Their actual debut, though, came later than expected. That delay could have easily killed the group’s momentum, but instead, it fueled their hunger to make a name for themselves even more. By the time they hit the stage with <em>Kiss The World</em>, the group had grown stronger, their moves tighter.</p><p>Since then, NTX hasn’t slowed down. They released the album <strong><em>Odd Hour </em></strong>in 2023, followed by the mini-album <strong><em>Hold X</em></strong> in 2024, and a full-length album,<strong><em> Over Track</em></strong>, in 2025, all of which helped establish their creative identity.</p><p><em>Over Track</em>’s title song &quot;<strong>Over N Over</strong>&quot; stood out, especially because of its addictive chorus that’s boosted by a collaboration with producers from <strong>YG Entertainment</strong>. “Inspiration always comes unexpectedly. For ‘Over N Over,’ YG, who sent us the beat, suggested we explore the theme ‘Over N Over.’ We decided on the theme of ‘breaking away/escape’ and completed the song based on that idea,” Rawhyun explained through an interpreter.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HvSxfGbB_Xw?si=DGwgOaq8XIhcf4AW" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Forging friendships with Filipino fans </strong></div><p>During their recent trip to Manila, they spent time connecting with fans in ways that felt personal and genuine. NTX proved that they are serious about building real relationships with the people who are supporting them by meeting them wherever they may be. That kind of effort to stay closer to fans is what makes their journey a breath of fresh air.</p><p>This year, they mark a major milestone, a collaboration with the Philippines, as NTX officially joins forces with<strong> IAM Worldwide</strong>, with <strong>PUBLICITYASIA </strong>leading Philippine and regional promotions across Asia and the Pacific.                                    </p><p>This collaboration is more than just a signing; it’s a strategic alliance placing NTX at the heart of Southeast Asia’s surging Hallyu wave. Backed by IAM Worldwide and their massive community network, paired with PUBLICITYASIA’s track record in shaping global celebrity brands, NTX is primed to emerge as the defining face of next-generation K-pop.                  </p><p>While NTX has already captured attention with standout performances and genre-crossing music, their breakout stage comes on October 19, 2025, when they debut at <a href="https://metro.style/metro-style/people/2025/8/25/iam-worldwide-brings-together-ji-chang-wook-ntx-and-bini-for-its-8th-anniversary-event-domin8-1701" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">IAM Worldwide’s 8th Anniversary Show “DOMIN8”</a> at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.  </p><p>The event, which sold out in just two days, will see the group share the spotlight with IAM Ambassadors <strong>Ji Changwook</strong> and <strong>BINI</strong> in a cross-cultural celebration set to be one of the year’s most unforgettable spectacles.                                    </p><div>    <img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756539903442IMG_5752.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div>                                  </div><div><br/></div><div><strong>On To The Next with NTX </strong></div><p>With new projects planned and bigger tours in the works, NTX is definitely aiming for an even wider reach. The group plans to keep experimenting with new sounds and concepts, while revealing new facets of themselves with every comeback.</p><p>“You’ll get to see a whole new side of NTX! Even for us, it’s something we’re preparing for the first time, so you can definitely look forward to it!” Xiha promised NTFuls.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Now, let’s get to know the members of this fast-rising K-pop group and find out what makes NTX your next boy group to stan:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Hyeongjin (Leader, Main Vocalist) </strong></div><p>The steady voice of the group and a calm leader. Born in Busan, he’s the type who leads without forcing it, balancing warmth with authority. He is from the same academy as Yunhyeok. When asked what his favorite Korean food is, he answered: “In Korea, soybean paste stew (doenjang jjigae)—which we often eat with pork—can be considered a healthy dish. I’d love a steaming hot bowl right now.”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756541243351metrostyle ntx_VYNO1028.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Yunhyeok (Leader, Main Vocalist)  </strong></div><p>He is the tallest in the group, with a commanding demeanor and brimming with intensity. His versatility in vocals, rap, and dance fuels the group’s sharper edges. He was chosen to lead the group alongside Hyeongjin.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756540303928metrostyle ntx_VYNO1006.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div>    </div><div>                  </div><div><strong>Xiha (Vocalist, Main Dancer) </strong></div><p>Formerly Jaemin, he reintroduced himself as Xiha in 2025. His main dancer role brings fire to NTX’s stages, while his adaptability makes him magnetic. On what’s next, he shared with Metro.Style: “You’ll get to see a whole new side of NTX! Even for us, it’s something we’re preparing for the first time, so you can definitely look forward to it!”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756540434008metrostyle ntx_VYNO1185.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div>    </div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Changhun (Vocalist, Rapper) </strong></div><p>The group’s mood booster and resident stylist. A former soccer athlete, he channels that discipline into his performances while keeping the group’s spirits high. “I actually played as a soccer athlete for a short time from elementary school through middle school. Even now, I really love soccer and often play with the members. We even played a little after our shoot in the Philippines! One day, I’d love to both play soccer and perform at a stadium in the Philippines,” he shared.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756540635067metrostyle ntx_VYNO1065.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><strong>Hojun (Lead Vocalist) </strong></div><p>Quiet and shy, but with a voice that cuts through. His calm energy balances NTX’s more playful personalities, grounding the team. Hojun said, “During my downtime, I usually watch dramas or movies. When the weather is nice or cool, I like to go outside for a walk or ride a bike.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756540795870metrostyle ntx_VYNO0981.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rawhyun (Main Producer, Main Rapper) </strong></div><p>The producer brain behind much of NTX’s sound, he shared, “Usually, I start by making the beat. Then, based on a new theme, I work on the lyrics and melody. After that, I assign rap parts to the members who handle rap and let them create their own lines. When working externally, we usually receive a prepared beat, and then I take charge of the lyrics and melody making.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756540918991metrostyle ntx_VYNO1169.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Eunho (Vocalist, Main Producer)</strong></div><p>Eunho used to model and act when he was a child. “Seungwon and I met while doing child actor activities. At first, of course, it was awkward, but after seeing each other several times, we became quite close,” he happily reminisced. “Thanks to Seungwon’s encouragement, I auditioned at the company, and that’s how we trained and eventually debuted together! Among the members, he was the only one I knew beforehand, so we relied on each other a lot.”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756541048692metrostyle ntx_VYNO1082.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Seungwon (Rapper, Lead Dancer, Maknae) </strong></div><p>The youngest, but with the longest list of work experience before their debut, Seungwon was once part of a boy group and also modeled for magazines and in photoshoots. He recalled, “I’ve known Eunho-hyung since elementary school—we both worked as child actors. I think we first met on a commercial shoot. At that time, it felt awkward and unfamiliar, but Eunho kept talking to me and joking around, which helped me a lot. Later, when we ended up on the same team, I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to practice with him. Now, we’re much closer than before—no comparison at all.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1756541160013metrostyle ntx_VYNO1121.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><strong>Check out the gallery below for more photos of NTX and the members doing aegyo poses:</strong></div><div style="text-align:left">[[PHOTO ALBUM]]</div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Photos by <strong>Vyn Radovan</strong></p><p>Special thanks to <strong>IAM Worldwide </strong>and <strong>PUBLICITYASIA</strong><strong></strong></p>
