History

2021: Formation through Loud

See main article: Loud (South Korean TV series). The New Six was formed through the SBS K-pop reality competition program Loud that was hosted by two entertainment agencies JYP Entertainment and P Nation in South Korea. The show was a collaboration between Psy and Park Jin-young to develop 2 new boy groups; one under JYP Entertainment and another one under P Nation. The TV program had 75 contestants from various countries, and they had to prove themselves to be a debut-worthy talent. Throughout the challenge rounds, the contestants showed their dancing, composing music, writing lyrics, singing, and rapping skills to the two famous judges.[3]

Loud premiered on June 5, 2021 and it was broadcast every Saturday at 21:00 PM KST on SBS.[4] The TV program's finale was on September 11, 2021 with P Nation having seven debuting members. However, on January 24, 2022, P Nation announced Koki Tanaka (13 years old at the time) left the group to continue his training at P Nation, and the yet unnamed boy group became a six-member group.[5]

2022–present: Debut with Way Up, Love Never Dies and Boyhood

On March 29, 2022, it was announced the group would be officially called TNX (The New Six), and they would make their official debut on May 17, 2022.[6] On April 25, it was announced that the group would debut their first EP Way Up.[7]

In January 2023, their agency P Nation announced through their official fancafe that member Junhyeok would be temporarily halting activities due to health concerns.[8]

On February 15, 2023, The New Six released their second EP Love Never Dies with the lead single "Love or Die".[9] According to P Nation, both "I Need U" and "Love or Die" would serve as the double title tracks for their second EP Love Never Dies.[10]

On May 22, 2023, The New Six announced their third EP Boyhood would be released on June 7.[11] On June 7, 2023, The New Six released their third EP Boyhood with the lead single "Kick It 4 Now".[12]

On December 28, 2023, The New Six "Love or Die" had been selected as No.14 for The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2023 by Billboard. [13]
