K-Pop Star Kim Jaejoong to Launch Two New Boy Groups: KEYVITUP and VAY ONN

K-Pop sensation Kim Jaejoong is set to introduce two new boy groups to the music scene. This marks his first venture into producing boy bands, following his success with girl groups.

INCODE Entertainment (INCODE) has announced the debut of two boy groups in the first half of this year, signaling a fresh wave in the K-POP industry.

At midnight on the 25th, INCODE officially confirmed the debut of these two groups via their official social media channels. The 11 male trainees under INCODE will be divided into two groups, one consisting of five members and the other of six.

The official team names and member line-ups were revealed through a video. The groups are named KEYVITUP and VAY ONN. KEYVITUP comprises five members: Taehwan, Hyunmin, Sena, Jaein, and Lukia. VAY ONN consists of six members: Masato, Sen, Sun Jiayang, Feng Jinyu, Teru, and Mano.

KEYVITUP is aiming for an April debut, while VAY ONN is set for June. INCODE stated, "The two groups have completely different concepts and musical directions. We plan to showcase each group's unique identity and charm to global fans."

The 11 trainees were first introduced through the debut project 'INTHE X' last November. They have been engaging with fans through a mini fan meeting in December, the 'Fortune Tour' in January, and the fan meeting 'Epilogue: End=Beginning' on February 21. Their striking visuals and distinctive appeal have already captured the hearts of global fans, building a strong fanbase even before their official debut. The announcement of their upcoming debuts has garnered significant attention from fans.
