CIX Drops ‘THUNDER FEVER’ Teaser
The announcement, accompanied by a teaser released at midnight KST on December 27, has fans buzzing with excitement. This marks the group’s return nearly a year after their single “0 or 1” and their first album since transitioning to a four-member lineup.
The comeback holds special significance for both the group and their fans, as it comes after the departure of Bae Jin Young in August 2024. Following his departure, Jinyoung embarked on a new chapter in his career, signing an exclusive contract with AURA Entertainment on December 5. The agency expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, promising to support the former Wanna One and CIX member as he explores fresh opportunities as a multi-talented artist.
Jinyoung initially rose to prominence in 2017 as part of the hugely successful project group Wanna One, formed through the second season of the survival show “Produce 101.” His time with Wanna One cemented his status as a standout performer, thanks to his rich vocals, mesmerizing dance moves, and undeniable stage presence. After Wanna One’s disbandment, Jinyoung joined CIX, where he further honed his artistry and contributed to the group’s rise with hits like “Movie Star” and “Jungle.”
Beyond music, Jinyoung showcased his versatility by branching into acting, earning praise for his roles in web dramas and films. His departure from CIX marks a bittersweet moment for fans, but it also signals a promising future as he embarks on new creative endeavors.
Meanwhile, CIX’s “THUNDER FEVER” promises to deliver a fresh sound and dynamic performances, reaffirming the group’s commitment to growth and innovation in their redefined era.
