New K-Band AxMxP Shines in Bright Debut Teasers
The rookie K-pop scene just got a sparkling new contender. AxMxP, FNC Entertainment’s biggest boy band launch in a decade, has officially dropped their first concept photos for their debut album—and yes, it’s giving carefree youth, summer breeze, and band-boy energy in one glorious scoop.
AxMxP’s debut photos evoke a perfect coming-of-age vibe
On July 1, FNC unveiled the first teaser images for AxMxP’s self-titled first album, set to release on July 10. The photos show the four members basking in natural sunlight, hanging out with bicycles, skateboards, and snacks under swaying green trees. It’s K-drama picnic meets band practice after school—an aesthetic tailor-made to tug heartstrings and ignite fanfiction.
Who is AxMxP? Meet FNC’s new four-piece musical heartthrobs
AxMxP isn’t just another idol group—they’re being marketed as a full-fledged boy band, complete with instruments and a distinct sonic identity. The lineup includes:
- Vocals: Ha Yujun, the emotional core
- Guitar: Kim Shin, possibly our quiet cool type
- Drums: Crue, whose name alone screams stage presence
- Bass: Juhwan, the mellow heartbeat of the group
This marks FNC Entertainment’s first band debut in ten years, following in the footsteps of label seniors like FTISLAND and N.Flying. And let’s just say the expectations are as high as their hair volume in these teasers.
The meaning behind ‘AxMxP’: More than just an edgy acronym
The group’s name and album title, AxMxP, reflects the storm of emotions teens go through—what the company calls an “emotional storm.” Think of it as the musical version of that one rainy Scene™ in every coming-of-age film where the main character stares out of a bus window contemplating life.
The 10-track album drops listeners into a kaleidoscope of genres, from hip-hop bangers to heartfelt ballads—showcasing not just their skills, but the complex texture of youth itself.
AxMxP DEBUT SHOW LIVE: Keep your evening of July 10 open
The group’s first full-length album “AxMxP” will be released on July 10 at 6 PM KST. But that’s not all—the band will greet fans just 90 minutes later with a full live performance at their debut showcase, titled “AxMxP ON”. It’s happening at Olympic Hall in Seoul’s Olympic Park, and the buzz suggests a coming-out party worth streaming (or camping out for, if you’re in Seoul).

Bright future or fizzled hype? All eyes on AxMxP
With an album, live debut, and instant aesthetic identity, AxMxP isn’t tiptoeing into the industry—they’re cannonballing straight into the deep end. Whether they become mainstays like FTISLAND or break fresh ground remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: they’ve got everyone talking.
