BIOGRAPHY

MXM (Korean: 엠엑스엠) was a South Korean duo under Brand New Music, announced on 12 July 2017 and debuting on 6 September 2017 with the EP Unmix. The name is given as both Mix and Match and More x More.

The two members were Lim Young-min and Kim Dong-hyun. Lim Young-min also works as an actor and holds a profile of his own in this catalogue.

The duo was active through 2017 and 2018, and both members went on to debut in AB6IX in 2019, which also has a page here.

MXM packed a great deal into two years. After the EP Unmix in September 2017 came Match Up in January 2018, the double single Rematch in March and the full length album More Than Ever on 14 August 2018, which reached number five on the Korean album chart. Alongside the duo’s own releases, Lim Young-min and Kim Dong-hyun appeared in the 2018 project group YDPP. Both members wrote and produced during this period, with Dong-hyun composing and playing guitar and Young-min writing rap and playing piano. In May 2019 the pair moved into Brand New Music’s new boy band AB6IX, where Kim Dong-hyun still performs.

GROUP DETAILS

MXM sits between a survival programme and a full group debut, a common route in Korean pop: two performers are paired as a unit first and then folded into a larger act. Both members followed exactly that path into AB6IX.
