Newcomer Band AxMxP Makes a Strong Impact on Festival Circuit Throughout the Year : K-WAVE
FNC Entertainment’s rising rock group, AxMxP, is making waves in the music scene with their jam-packed year-end performance schedule, headlining the Innomas Music Series 2 at the Daegu EXCO Auditorium on December 28. The band, comprised of Ha Yoo Joon, Kim Shin, Cru, and Ju Hwan, burst onto the scene just three months ago in September and has been gaining traction since then.
Their upcoming performance at the Innomas Music Series 2 is yet another feather in AxMxP’s cap. This gig follows their successful appearances at events like Beautiful Mint Life 2025 in June and the Busan International Rock Festival in September, proving their mettle on stage even before their official debut.
But the band is not stopping there. AxMxP is set to rock three more major festivals before the year ends including PEAKBOX 2025 vol.2: Love·Youth·Happiness, Someday Christmas in Busan, and Countdown Fantasy 2025-2026. Their debut album, titled “AxMxP,” made an explosive impact in the music industry by selling approximately 63,000 copies in its first week alone, setting a new record for the highest first-week sales by a debut band album in Korean music history. This success earned them the prestigious title of K-Pop Rookie of the Month in September by Billboard Korea.
Showcasing their versatility, the 10-track album features a blend of punk rock, hip-hop rock, and ballads through songs like “I Did It,” “Shocking Drama,” and “Love Poem.” FNC Entertainment’s introduction of AxMxP as their new band marked a significant moment for them, as they had not debuted a band in a decade, following in the footsteps of successful labelmates FTISLAND, CNBLUE, and N.Flying.
With a debut showcase that drew over 2,000 enthusiastic fans at Olympic Hall, AxMxP displayed a level of confidence and skill that belied their young age range of 15 to 20 years. This stage presence is a result of years of hard work and preparation, including performances across Asia as part of FNC’s Band Kingdom tour series that took them to cities like Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Taipei.
Fans eagerly awaiting their next performance can purchase tickets for the Innomas Music Series 2 starting on November 21 at 8 PM KST through Ticketlink. AxMxP’s meteoric rise in the music scene is a testament to their talent, dedication, and unwavering commitment to delivering electrifying performances that captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.
