FNC's New Boy Band AxMxP on the Cusp of Debut: Will They Carry On the 'Band Powerhouse' Legacy?

FNC Entertainment's upcoming four-member boy band, AxMxP, is generating significant buzz as their official debut approaches, raising anticipation about whether they can uphold the 'Band Powerhouse' reputation.

Set to make their debut on September 10th, AxMxP comprises vocalist Ha Yoo-jun, guitarist Kim Shin, drummer Kru, and bassist Ju-hwan. The band is poised to launch with their first full-length album, also titled ‘AxMxP,’ which delves into the theme of an 'emotional storm' – the whirlwind of diverse emotions that unexpectedly engulfs the seemingly monochrome lives of teenagers.

Distinguishing themselves from the typical debut with singles or mini-albums, AxMxP is launching with a full-length album featuring ten tracks. They are further showcasing their ambition by promoting three title tracks: 'Love Poem,' 'Shocking Drama,' and 'I Did It.' This multi-title approach signifies their intention to demonstrate a broad musical spectrum right from their debut.

The anticipation surrounding AxMxP's debut is amplified by FNC Entertainment's history of nurturing successful bands like FTIsland, CNBLUE, and N.Flying. Having already garnered attention through various pre-debut activities including drama appearances and festival performances, AxMxP is seen as a well-prepared rookie ready to carve their own path in the K-pop band scene.

AxMxP will officially kick off their journey with their debut showcase, 'AxMxP DEBUT SHOW [AxMxP ON],' at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul, on September 10th. The full album and music videos for the title tracks will be released simultaneously at 6 PM KST.

AxMxP is FNC Entertainment's first new boy band in a decade, aiming to follow in the footsteps of successful groups like FTIsland and CNBLUE. The group consists of four members: Ha Yoo-jun (vocals), Kim Shin (guitar), Kru (drums), and Ju-hwan (bass). Their debut album explores the theme of 'emotional storm,' capturing the complex feelings of adolescence.
