BIOGRAPHY

AB6IX (Korean: 에이비식스) is a South Korean boy band from Seoul under Brand New Music, with Victor Entertainment handling Japan. The name is given as an abbreviation of Absolute Six. The group debuted on 22 May 2019 with the EP B:Complete.

The current members are Jeon Woong, Kim Dong-hyun, Park Woo-jin and Lee Dae-hwi. Lim Young-min was the group’s leader from the 2019 debut until his departure was announced on 8 June 2020; he also works as an actor and holds a profile of his own in this catalogue.

The fandom name is ABNEW. The group works across K-pop with deep house, hip hop, R&B and pop rock elements.

AB6IX moved quickly after their May 2019 debut, winning a first music show trophy within two weeks and heading out on the 6IXENSE world tour in 2019 and 2020. A Japanese debut followed on 24 November 2021 with the EP Absolute 6ix, and in 2022 the group met fans across Seoul, Japan, the United States and Thailand on the AB_NEW AREA tour. Their releases have since come in linked sets, with The Future Is Ours: Lost in May 2023 and The Future Is Ours: Found in January 2024, followed by Born Like This in October 2024, Upside Down in August 2025 and Seven: Crimson Horizon in March 2026, an album that also gave room to solo tracks.
