Cheon Junhyeok of TNX (The New Six) has officially rejoined the group, ending a hiatus that went on for over a year. On February 1, P NATION announced that Junhyeok would participate in TNX’s new variety show. Sure enough, when THE NEW? Things! premiered on February 2, he was with the rest of the members.

Junhyeok had been on hiatus since January 11, 2023. It was then that P NATION announced that he would be taking a step back from group activities to prioritize his health. The agency made this decision after a medical exam revealed that the idol had symptoms of anxiety attributed to decreased stamina. Doctors advised him to take a break to recover. Junhyeok took their advice after conferring with his agency and bandmates. He went into his hiatus hoping to get back on his feet before their next comeback.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way.

On June 5, 2023, a second announcement from P NATION revealed that Junhyeok had worked on TNX’s third mini album BOYHOOD. However, the announcement went on to say that he wouldn’t be able to participate in the full scope of comeback promotions. After discussions with Junhyeok and the TNX members, it was decided he wouldn’t take part in any official activities to concentrate on resting. P NATION reiterated the importance of his health and requested fans’ understanding and support for Junhyeok and the remaining TNX members.

The announcement affected the group’s preparations for their album release, especially since Junhyeok had appeared in teasers for the album and its title track. Nevertheless, the agency and group moved forward with the release.

Now, Junhyeok is back and better than ever, with P NATION revealing that TNX is preparing to release a digital single in March, followed by a mini-album in May. This comeback not only marks a significant milestone in Junhyeok’s recovery but also signals a new chapter for TNX.
