OMEGA X is a group built on an unprecedented concept: a supergroup made by idols from disbanded groups and past survival shows. Meet their members before The Avengers of the Korean entertainment industry debut later this year.
Their name, OMEGA X, is taken from the last letter of the Greek alphabet as well as X - which signifies that the group aims to bring "the end" or be the "final boss." They have already charmed fans, both from their previous appearances and as Spire Entertainment teased their presence starting last March.
Before they make their official debut, get to know the eleven members of the upcoming Spire Entertainment boy group - their positions, hobbies, and the groups they came from.
Sebin
Born Jang Se Bin, the rapper-dancer is also a former member of the Widmay Entertainment boy group SNUPER. Aside from being the maknae of his former K-pop group, Sebin has also participated in the KBS2 survival reality show "The Unit: Idol Rebooting Project.
According to his OMEGA X profile from Spire Entertainment, Sebin has skills in sports and in Taekwondo, and he likes watching animation, football, and other forms of sports.
Yechan
Shin Ye Chan is another maknae set to join OMEGA X as he is the youngest member of his former group - PocketDol Studio's nine-piece group 1the9, which disbanded last August 2020. Before debuting with 1the9, Yechan first participated in the survival reality show Under Nineteen, where he was one of the nine out of 57 participants.
Joining OMEGA X as a rapper-vocalist, Yechan has skills in creating beats and in playing football. Additionally, Spire Entertainment shares that his hobbies include relaxing at cafes.
Taedong
Kim Tae Dong, mononymously known as Taedong, was set to debut last year as a member of 2Y Entertainment's five-man group GIDONGDAE. After releasing their pre-debut track "Party Like This" in June, they were set back by delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, sadly ending on January 12, 2021, when most members posted on their personal SNS accounts that the group has disbanded. Aside from the pre-debut group GIDONGDAE, Taedong also joined the Mnet survival reality show Produce 101 Season 2.
The third maknae to join OMEGA X, Taedong, will be a dancer-vocalist in his new group. His hobbies include watching animations, playing games, and cleaning.
Jaehan
Born Kim Jaehan, the rapper-vocalist, formerly served as the main vocals for the WYNN Entertainment group SPECTRUM. Originally a seven-member group, it lost one of its original members and had its debut delayed by the member's participation in the survival reality show "Mix Nine." While it debuted in May 2018, the group disbanded last July 2020 due to the pandemic.
As an upcoming OMEGA X member, Jaehan also has songwriting skills that remain to be seen once the group debuts later this year. He is also into photography and bowling.
Hangyeom
The rapper-dancer known as Hangyeom was an ex-member of the Staro Entertainment group Seven O'Clock, which officially disbanded last March 2. He was the group's leader, as well as its main rapper, main dancer, and its visual.
Hangyeom also joined the JBTC reality survival show, where his skills and visuals helped him land among the final member of the pre-debut team. While the MIXNINE debut never came to be, his leadership and performance sense is something to look forward to with OMEGA X.
Xen
When 1TEAM, the five-member boy group under Liveworks Company, disbanded last March 14, one of its former members was soon revealed to be joining OMEGA X - its main vocalist Jinwoo, now known as Xen.
Spire Entertainment additionally reveals that Xen also has songwriting skills, and he has also made cover versions of other popular songs.
Hyuk
ENOi was a seven-member group under Kithewhale Entertainment, making their debut on April 19, 2019, and disbanded last January 22. Three of its members are now set to join OMEGA X, starting with Yang Hyuk. The former ENOi lead rapper, sub vocalist, visual, and maknae is set to bring his arsenal to the Spire Entertainment group, and with it, his fans who have remained devoted to him over the years.
While he's formally assigned as a rapper, according to Spire Entertainment, his all-around capabilities will definitely be an asset to the group.
Kevin
Another OMEGA X member from ENOi, Kevin was formally known as the sub-vocalist Jinwoo. Bringing his impressive vocals to the group, Kevin is reunited with his former groupmates Hyuk and Junghoon as co-members of the upcoming group.
His hobbies include watching movies and solving puzzles, and aside from singing, Kevin also plays badminton.
Junghoon
The third of the former ENOi members to join OMEGA X, Junghoon was formerly known as the group's main dancer and lead vocals J-Kid. Now going by his name, Junghoon has been highly anticipated ever since he was revealed - especially since he helped choreographed some of the routines of their former group.
As a dancer through and through, his talents include freestyle dancing. Furthermore, Junghoon is also capable of inline skating.
Jehyun
Moon Je Hyun, or Jehyun, is the second member of 1TEAM to join the upcoming eleven-member boy group, together with Xen. The dancer-vocalist will be showcasing his talents together with the other members of OMEGA X.
During his spare time, he prefers to play computer games and is reportedly very skilled at it. Also, during his tenure with 1TEAM, he said that if he wasn't a singer, then he would most likely be a dancer - and he'll be both with OMEGA X.
Hwichan
Rounding up the Spire Entertainment boy group, Lee Hwi Chan was the former main vocalist for the ONO Entertainment group LIMITLESS, going by the stage name Raychan. The group remains inactive but there has been no formal announcement that LIMITLESS has disbanded.
Hwichan is designated as a vocalist for OMEGA X. Aside from signing, he can also play the drums.
