K-pop group profile · five current members · one complicated road back
TNX
TNX began as six P NATION trainees selected through LOUD, debuted in 2022 with the physical swagger of “MOVE,” lost time to a health hiatus, changed from The New Six to the shorter TNX name, continued as five after Kyungjun’s departure and finally found a guitar-driven comeback worth arguing over in “Die Another Day.” The group history is not neat. That is why it needs one proper home instead of a quick paragraph and six embeds.
RaeRae take: TNX spent too long sounding like a company trying on competent songs instead of a group making an argument. “Die Another Day” does not fix every gap, but the guitar, Hwi’s authorship and the five-member tension finally give me something more useful than “they are versatile.” Keep that center. Make the next chorus braver.
Meet the members
The current group is Taehun, Hyunsoo, Junhyeok, Hwi and Sungjun. Kyungjun belongs in the original-lineup history, not inside a current five-member card. Each name below opens the canonical member or artist profile.
Taehun
Leader · dancer · vocalist. Taehun gives the group a physical center. His best performances do not announce leadership with extra facial strain; they keep the formation legible when the choreography and camera are trying to manufacture panic.
Hyunsoo
Vocalist · dancer. Hyunsoo’s precision keeps melodic sections clean without sanding away the edge. In a darker concept, he is most interesting when control looks slightly nervous rather than perfectly comfortable.
Junhyeok
Vocalist. Junhyeok’s health hiatus is part of the public chronology, not a permanent marketing hook. His return matters because his voice and presence are working parts of TNX again, not because a difficult period should be replayed whenever the company needs emotion.
Hwi
Rapper · songwriter · producer. Hwi is the clearest bridge between performance and authorship. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that he wrote all the lyrics and co-composed “Die Another Day.” The credit matters because the song’s anxiety stays inside the group rather than arriving as borrowed concept copy.
Sungjun
Vocalist · rapper · youngest member. Sungjun keeps the maknae position from becoming a personality box. His eye-line and restless performance texture are especially useful when the concept depends on surveillance, pursuit or a camera that thinks it is watching unnoticed.

Why TNX are still worth following
The obvious answer is performance. LOUD built a team comfortable with visible labor: hard counts, quick formations, rap that lives inside choreography and stages designed to look physically expensive. The more interesting answer is that TNX have not finished deciding what their music should protect.
Early releases established force. BOYHOOD opened a brighter and more melodic door. “FUEGO” pushed heat and abrasion. “Call Me Back” used longing and momentum. “Die Another Day” tied guitar texture, member authorship and the group’s damaged chronology together. The catalog is not one clean genre line. The useful through-line is five performers learning which changes reveal identity and which merely change clothes.
The history file
2021: LOUD builds the original six
P NATION formed its first boy group through the SBS survival program LOUD. Taehun, Kyungjun, Hyunsoo, Junhyeok, Hwi and Sungjun emerged as the company’s team. The show explains their public doorway and performance training, but contestant rankings are not adult identities. The group’s real file begins when released music gives those trainees a shared language.
2022: WAY UP and “MOVE”
TNX debuted May 17, 2022 with WAY UP. “MOVE” presented confrontation, machinery and synchronized force. It was an effective arrival, though the song sometimes treated intensity as the identity instead of a tool the members could shape.
2022–2024: Junhyeok’s hiatus and the five-person stage problem
Junhyeok paused activities for health reasons. Public pages should record the official status without inventing medical details or turning absence into a personality analysis. For the group, the hiatus also meant reworking formations, distributions and promotion around five active bodies while leaving space for a member whose status had not become a departure.
2023: Love Never Dies and BOYHOOD
Love Never Dies stayed closer to youth pressure and dramatic performance. BOYHOOD made a more revealing pivot. “Kick It 4 Now” let retro rhythm, lighter color and personality enter without pretending the group had become harmless. That release remains useful because it proved TNX could loosen their shoulders without losing technique.
2024: the name settles and Kyungjun leaves
The New Six and TNX are one continuing group. The shortened name became the durable public styling; old music, member history and official channels remain part of the same chronology. In October 2024, P NATION announced Kyungjun’s departure. Current pages therefore use five members while preserving his place in the debut record.
2025–2026: rebuilding momentum
“FUEGO,” “Call Me Back” and “Die Another Day” show a group testing how much melody, abrasion and emotional history can coexist. Junhyeok’s return restored the active five-member team. “Die Another Day” became the clearest current statement because Hwi helped write its emotional language and the arrangement finally sounded connected to the people performing it.
What the five-member rebuild changed
Five members create more visible space. That can expose a weak formation, but it can also let personality survive the wide shot. Current TNX stages work best when Taehun anchors the line without swallowing it, Hyunsoo and Junhyeok keep the melodic center distinct, Hwi’s rhythmic decisions remain attached to the song and Sungjun adds the restless edge that prevents symmetry from looking safe.
The rebuild should not become a permanent apology tour for the years that went wrong. Kyungjun’s place in the original six remains documented. Junhyeok’s hiatus remains part of the timeline. The current job is to make music that only these five would arrange and perform this way. “Die Another Day” is evidence that the answer may sit between melodic rock pressure, member writing and choreography willing to let control look expensive.
Start with the songs
If you want the debut impact
Start with “MOVE.” Watch how the original six use weight, spacing and direct eye contact before comparing that force with the current lineup.
If you want the bright pivot
Use “Kick It 4 Now.” The retro frame gives personality room to breathe and proves brightness does not require technical retreat.
If you want the current argument
Choose “Die Another Day.” It is compact and the chorus needs another idea, but the guitar-to-vocal relationship and Hwi’s credit give the group a musical center worth developing.

Guitar-driven production, Hwi’s authorship, five member-specific performance reads, choreography, damaged-memory imagery and the chorus that needed another thirty seconds.

THX, without the orientation fog
THX is the fandom name and a play on “thanks.” The useful newcomer rule is simple: verify current status through P NATION or TNX’s official community before treating an old profile card as current. TNX have used two public name styles, promoted through a long hiatus and changed from six members to five. Search results will not always respect chronology.
Support does not require pretending every release is perfect. Stream if you like the song, buy through a chart-recognized retailer if collecting matters to you, and keep member health or departure speculation out of the fact file unless the people involved make it public.
