After almost 6 years after BTS' debut Bighit finally announced the debut of a new group! This new boy group goes by the name TXT (Tomorrow X Together) as they "all came together under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow". Since January 10 the company released several teasers to introduce the and their concept and by now it is known that they will debut on March 4 with a mini album titled "The Dream Chapter: STAR" and its title track "Crown", through an exclusive debut showcase on Mnet.

The group consist of 5 , with one of them being Bighit's first foreign artist to debut, and the were all born in 1999-2002, so they're relatively young and their concept is seemingly youthful and light as well. Nonetheless with this group Bighit introduced the 'TXT Universe', which goes parallel to the 'BTS Universe', so we should get ready for new theories about TXT's future music videos!

ARGON, short for "ARt Go ON", is a 6 member boy group under MSH Entertainment that just revealed their debut date to be March 11. So in only two weeks from now on ARGON will debut with a single album titled "Masterkey", which has been successfully funded through Makestar, and this seems to be a rather mature concept we can look forward to!

ARGON was first introduced in November last year, they are all born in 1996-1999 and you might know their maknae Jaeun, who previously debuted in 2016 in the group INX with the stage name Win. The group released several videos through Makestar, proving their skills as singers, rappers and dancers and they also did some videos for us to get to know the better, so if you're interested in them, I recommend to take a lot at Makestar's channel!

Not Confirmed Debut Dates

TEAM LWZ

TEAM LWZ is a 5-member boy group under Liveworks Company. The debut date and final group name will be released on March 4, so their debut can't be far away anymore!

In December last year the Liveworks boys created new SNS s as TEAM LWZ and introduced their . The were all born in 1994-2000 and next to three new faces, you can also find two maybe more familiar ones. The two oldest of the group are already known through Boys24 and Mixnine. While Rubin was eliminated in Boys24, he ended Mixnine as 9th place, gaining lots of fans. Sungho, who previously debuted with a boy group called I-REX, is now going by the stage name BC and he actually was successful on Boys24 and would have even debuted with IN2IT if it hadn't been for some controversies (which were proven wrong), but also in Mixnine he ended up quite high as 15th. But now they'll finally be debuting under Liveworks and I hope you're all ready to them!

DONGKIZ is a 5-member boy group under Dongyo Entertainment which are planned to debut early this year. All were born in 1998-2002.

DONGKIZ started releasing cover videos and other small stuff to introduce the in June last year, a predebut song called NOM in November and they went on regular busking sessions as well. They currently have a Makestar debut project ongoing which is at 90% but still has some time left, so there should be no problem for it to reach the 100%. If you're interested in them you should definitely give their YT channel a visit and maybe also take a look at the Makestar project!

The oldest member and leader Shin Kyuhyun, now going by the stage name Laon, was a contestant on the survical show Boys24 in 2016, but was unfortunately eliminated early on in he show. As the group has only been announced this January, there are only some small profiles and teaser making videos released, but they recently shot a music video. I'm not sure if it is for their debut or just some predebut content, but we should keep an eye on them!

NewKidd is a currently 6-member boy group under J-FLO Entertainment, whereas it seems a 7th member just ed recently. The were born in 1994-2002.

So far all of the known debuted already in sub-units. The first sub-unit NewKidd Lemme Spoil U consisted of 4 and they released the song Will You Be Ma which wasn't promoted though. This was at the same time as one member, ex SM Rookie Ji Hansol, ed The Unit, which he finished as 6th place and he debuted in the project group UNB. As UNB's promotions were coming to an end, the second sub-unit NewKidd 02 debuted with Shooting Star, this time with the currently 6 known . This time they also appeared on music shows.

Just yesterday NewKidd ed a group picture with 7 , the new member is assumed to be Seungchan, who participated recently in a cover song already but we haven't seen his face so far. Also he might actually be the new maknae, but nothing is confirmed yet. Generally NewKidd's final lineup has yet to be announced just as their debut date, but they too successfully ended their Makestar project recently and this time it looks like it will actually be for the final group!

ONEWE is a 5-member band under RBW Entertainment and is known to be ONEUS' brother group. The were born in 1994-2000.

The band actually already debuted in August 2015 as MAS 0094 under Modern Music, then in 2017 moved to RBW and be renamed as MAS, before in June last year a first "debut teaser" revealed their band name for their redebut to be ONEUS.

ONEWE released a "debut project" show and the song Last Song together with ONEUS last year and now that their brother group debuted it's assumed that they will follow soon too, but more about that will hopefully be announced soon!

ASTIN

ASTIN is a 7-member boy group under Kingtop Entertainment, planned to debut in 2019. All were born in 1998-2000.

Several of the group have been active in busking groups before and ASTIN as whole has had some events in Japan before in January introducing the officially and starting a Makestar debut project. The project has only reached 63% so far and even though it's going for another month I'm not sure it will reach 100% and I'm even less sure what would happen to the group if the project is not successful so you should take a look at it and maybe even pledge on it if you are interested in the group and are able to help out, that would be wonderful!
