So far this year, we have seen a host of groups from various agencies making their debut. Successfully turning viewers into fans by showing off their unique colors and leaving the general public in anticipation and excitement for what they have to offer in the future. Here are some male rookie groups who have caught our attention with their budding talents and should be on your radar too.
1. TEMPEST
There are simply not enough words to describe how amazing and unique this group is. Talented, exciting, passionate, dynamic, etc. If we go on further, we might have to use all the words in the dictionary to describe them. But one thing is for sure, the rookie group TEMPEST is well balanced with the remarkable talents that will take over the industry in the no distant future. The 7-member boy group made their much-anticipated debut with the release of their first mini-album “It’s Me, It’s We” in March 2022. Which was accompanied by the exhilarating, colorful, and brilliant music video for the title track ‘Bad News’. Contrary to the name of the song, the result of their debut led to nothing but good news. Leaving fans and the general public in pure amazement and stunned by their impressive concepts, vibrant choreography, and fierce rap and vocal abilities. Many simply can’t wait to see what they do next. Their stage debut lived and exceeded every expectation set, with so much flair and charisma, their performances so far have been nothing but a thrill to watch. Further watering every viewer’s anticipation as excitement keeps building up about the K-Pop idols whose stage performances are just as charismatic and exciting as their last.
2. TNX
“Now this is how you make a debut” and like Law Roach will say “They did what needed to be done”. The 6-member group signed to P-NATION made their official debut in May 2022 with the release of their first mini-album “WAY UP”. Clearly on their way up to stardom, the group which was formed from the trainee survival show “LOUD” have been garnering interest since it ended and with their debut, they showed why they were put together to make this group, as each member possesses unique charms that put together makes for a very powerful unit. “Everybody get out of my way!” Their undeniable potential does justice to the resounding powerful note they made with this debut. Clearly, a force to be reckoned with, this rookie boy group, barely days into their debut are already been deemed as one of the best to make a debut this year. You don’t have to wait for that wow moment as every second feels like one. Leaving eyes and mouths open ajar, minds shattered, and screams from those who somehow manage to collect themselves, the TNX members are proving to already be excellent stage performers with an energy that is simply unmatched. Moving as a well-oiled unit, their performances so far have been clean, sharp, fierce, acrobatic, refined, and absolutely brilliant. With amazing stable live vocals and powerful and fresh dance movements, this rookie group is definitely here for the long haul.
3. NINE.i
Sometimes, it is often difficult for members of an idol group with large numbers to really showcase their own individual colors and shine brightly. But with NINE.i, you can easily see how unique each member is. The ten-member group signed to FirstOne Entertainment made its official debut in March 2022, with the mini-album “New World”. The rookie group took viewers to a parallel universe with the colorful concept of the album’s title track ‘Parallel Universe’. If there were a competition for the “Best rookie vocalists” then the members of NINE.i definitely have their hats in the ring. A talented group filled with amazing vocalists, rappers, and dancers, in any universe, they light up like the sun as their talents still shine brightly through. Despite how many they are, their choreography is so in sync and together. Clean movements and not a step out of place, it is clear how much practice has led to these stage moments and while we are impressed and taken by how technical their performance is, subtle moments when you catch the members smile at each other, make you feel how much fun they are having on stage. And frankly, that is all that matters.
4. TRENDZ
Like a ‘TNT’, they are set to blow everything up. Shaking things up with their brilliant concepts and creativity, TRENDZ has made viewers curious with their out-of-the-box debut style that is so interesting and intriguing. A debut like no other, 7 member group made their official debut in January 2022, with the release of their first EP “Blue Set Chapter 1. Tracks” and their movie-like music video for the lead single ‘TNT (Trust & Truth)’ which added so much appeal and interest to their style. A stage performance that leaves you breathless as you try to follow their intense and fierce energy, they certainly do not look like rookie groups on stage as their techniques, vocal, dance, and rap are so in sync, vibrant, and refined, befitting that of a seasoned performance group.
5. YOUNITE
You might be in a dilemma trying to pick your fave from 1 of the 9 members in this group as they are all showing growing talents that are not just exciting but incredibly pleasing to watch also. The 9-member group made their debut with their first EP “YOUNI-BIRTH” and the preppy music video for the lead single ‘1 of 9’ which introduced the world to their refreshing charms. Like the panda, we simply cannot choose ‘1 of 9’ but all of 9 as together, they already possess some of the traits that make for an exceptional boy group. Bringing their bright charms and the colorful concepts of their music video to the stage, it was a truly hot debut stage, as they left many impressed and in glee with their performance. A feeling that is still felt after every stage performance. With clean and precise dance moves, great vocals stability, and an aesthetically pleasing stage, YOUNITE definitely has what it takes to keep your gaze laser-focused on them.
