Talk of BIGHIT MUSIC launching a new boy group has been around since the start of the year. Now, with BTS back, TXT dropping a new album and touring worldwide, and a rookie team set to debut, the label’s outlook is stronger than ever.
BIGHIT MUSIC, the label behind BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), is finally debuting a new boy group for the first time in six years. This highly anticipated rookie team, made up of five teenage members, will officially debut on August 18, 2025.
The new group’s members — Martin, James, Juhoon, Sunghyun, and Gunho — are already gaining attention for their fresh approach. Branded as a ‘Young Creator Crew,’ these teens plan to set themselves apart by taking creative control over their own music, choreography, and video content.
What makes this group stand out is their unique ‘joint creation’ style. Instead of fixed positions, all five members contribute ideas and skills equally, from writing lyrics and composing songs to directing performances and filming.
They plan to tell their own stories through every part of the process, which sets them apart from typical idol groups.
Even before debut, some members have already proven their skills on big stages. Martin and James, in particular, have impressive credits with other HYBE artists.
Martin is credited on TXT’s songs “Deja Vu” and “Miracle” as well as their upcoming track “Beautiful Strangers” from the studio album “The Star Chapter: TOGETHER” (dropping July 21). He has also worked on ENHYPEN’s “Outside,” LE SSERAFIM’s “Pierrot,” and ILLIT’s debut smash hit “Magnetic.”
James has made his mark on choreography, contributing to TXT’s “Deja Vu” and ILLIT’s “Magnetic,” “Cherish (My Love),” and “Tick-Tack.” He also joined Martin in producing songs like “Deja Vu,” “Miracle,” and “Magnetic.”
James, meanwhile, has contributed choreography for TXT’s “Deja Vu” and ILLIT’s “Magnetic,” “Cherish (My Love),” and “Tick-Tack.” He also participated in producing “Deja Vu,” “Miracle,” and “Magnetic” alongside Martin.
BIGHIT MUSIC has come a long way since launching Lee Hyun, its first singer, and then rewriting K-pop history with BTS, the 21st-century pop icons. TXT, who debuted in 2019, won over a worldwide fanbase with their unique storytelling and genre-hopping music. Expectations are high that this new ‘Young Creator Crew’ will continue that legacy in a fresh way.
For now, fans can expect more teasers and details in the weeks leading up to the August 18 debut date. BIGHIT has hinted that additional information about the members’ roles, debut concept, and first single will be revealed sequentially.
As the countdown begins, the spotlight is now on Martin, James, Juhoon, Sunghyun, and Gunho — and how these five teens plan to shape the next wave of K-pop under the BIGHIT name.
Stay tuned for more updates as the debut date approaches.
