The New Six refers to the six members in the group's debut lineup.[2]
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]
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]
