Shocking new debut alert: JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong is rolling out his latest project—a rookie boy group named VAYONN—set to crash the K-pop scene this summer.

On June 1, INCODE Entertainment unveiled VAYONN’s debut poster on its official social media and announced the group will drop its first album on July 6. The poster, washed in cool blue tones and teasing partial member visuals, amps up a refreshing, summer-ready vibe.

A bold tagline on the poster reads, "Like dancers taking flight, we follow the road that leads us to one another," stoking curiosity about VAYONN’s universe and artistic direction.

VAYONN is a six-member team. The lineup includes Mnet’s Boys Planet alumni Masato, Sen, A Yang (Sun Jiayang), and Jin Wei (Peng Jinwei), joined by Teru and Mano, first revealed through INCODE Entertainment’s 'INTHE X' project.

Previously, Kim Jaejoong introduced the girl group SAY MY NAME in October 2024 and, this April, debuted the boy group EYVITUP.

As Kim Jaejoong’s next boy group after EYVITUP, VAYONN is drawing attention for uniting survival-show standouts with talents discovered through an in-house project. The label says VAYONN will inject new energy into K-pop with a color entirely their own.

Locked in for a July 6 debut, VAYONN will roll out a wave of teasers and promotions leading up to their official launch to build anticipation among fans.
