Big Hit Music to Launch New Boy Group in August, BTS's 'Younger Brother'

Big Hit Music has announced the debut of a new boy group this August, heralding the arrival of BTS's 'younger brother.'

According to Big Hit Music, a new male idol group will debut on August 18. This marks the first male idol launch since Tomorrow X Together debuted in 2019, introducing a five-member boy group consisting of Martin, James, Juhoon, Sunghyun, and Geonho.

Big Hit Music has previously achieved remarkable growth in K-pop through BTS and Tomorrow X Together. BTS, in particular, has achieved immense success not only in Korea but worldwide, continuously breaking new records as a 21st-century pop icon.

Similarly, Tomorrow X Together debuted in 2019, garnering significant attention as BTS's junior labelmates and has since captivated audiences globally with their distinctive music.

The new group, set to debut with the title of BTS's second 'younger brother,' emphasizes their identity as a 'Young Creator Crew.' Comprising all teenagers, they are poised to engage in creative endeavors across songwriting, composing, performance, and videography.

Martin has already made a name for himself in the music and choreography fields, contributing to Tomorrow X Together's 'Deja Vu' and 'Miracle' as well as the upcoming release 'Beautiful Strangers' on the 21st, Enhypen's 'Outside,' Le Sserafim's 'Pierrot,' and I-Lit’s 'Magnetic.'



Even before their debut, the group's visuals have sparked significant buzz, highlighting their star potential.

The fact that they are debuting under the resource-rich Big Hit Music is a significant advantage. Other major entertainment companies like SM Entertainment's Rise and Heart to Heart, JYP Entertainment's Kickflip, and YG Entertainment's Babymonster have also successfully launched new acts in the past 1-2 years, establishing stable careers.

As the growth of 5th-generation idols becomes more pronounced, all eyes are on Big Hit Music's next-generation male idols and what impact they will make.
