INTHE X, the much-anticipated 10-member project boy group under iNKODE, has officially previewed their debut with a striking pictorial in the January 2026 issue of DAZED Korea. The group, featuring Masato, Taehwan, Sen, Sun Jiayang, Peng Jinyu, Hyunmin, Sena, Teru, Mano, and Rukia, brings together a diverse lineup of trainees, many of whom already boast dedicated fanbases from previous survival shows like Boys II Planet.
The DAZED Korea pictorial showcases INTHE X’s dynamic visual identity, blending bold, avant-garde styling with a sense of unity and individuality. Each member is styled to highlight their unique charisma, while the overall aesthetic balances edgy, modern looks with touches of dreamy color and texture, reminiscent of high-fashion editorial shoots. The concept photos exude a sense of otherworldliness, with the members posing against backdrops that emphasize both their group cohesion and their distinct personalities.
Notably, Rukia, a former YG Entertainment trainee, brings an additional layer of anticipation to the group’s debut, while members like Masato cite K-pop icons such as ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Hanbin and NCT’s Taeyong as role models. The group’s diverse backgrounds—including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean members—underscore INTHE X’s global appeal and ambition.
DAZED Korea’s January 2026 issue marks a pivotal moment for INTHE X, positioning them at the intersection of K-pop innovation and high-fashion editorial style. As fans eagerly await their official music release, the pictorial previews promise a group unafraid to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a modern K-pop act.
