NTX: The next big name in K-pop
Manila Bulletin
|August 18, 2025
The next emerging sensation in the vibrant world of K-pop is poised to win over the hearts of Filipino fans: the dynamic eight-member boy band NTX from South Korea. With their captivating melodies, electrifying choreography, and innovative sound, they have been making significant strides on the global music stage.

Now, NTX is setting its sights on the Philippines, a nation renowned for its fervent and devoted K-pop community. Established by Victory Company, NTX-short for Neo Tracks No. X-made a dazzling debut on March 30, 2021, with their lively and enchanting title track "Kiss The World" from their inaugural EP, Full of Lovescapes.
From their very first performance, they have distinguished themselves with their exceptional ability to blend an array of musical genres, effortlessly weaving together elements of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and EDM.
The result is a sound that feels both refreshingly new and comfortingly familiar, captivating listeners and drawing them into their musical journey.
Their name represents their mission: to break boundaries, explore new horizons, and expand the map of K-pop to new audiences worldwide. The group's current lineup includes Hyeongjin, Yunhyeok, Xiha (formerly Jaemin), Changhun, Hojun, Rawhyun, Eunho, and Seungwon.
Each member brings a unique flavor to the group — from powerhouse vocals to intricate rap verses, and from main-stage charisma to behind-the-scenes songwriting and production skills.
NTX's journey so far has been a steady climb marked by strong releases and a growing international fanbase.
