KEYVITUP

KEYVITUP (키비텁) is a five-member boy group under iNKODE Entertainment, unveiled February 25, 2026 as the first of two debut acts from the INTHE X pre-debut project, alongside sister group VAY ONN. The group is Kim Jaejoong's first produced boy group in his capacity as Chief Strategy Officer at iNKODE. The five members are Taehwan, Hyunmin, Sena, Jaein, and Rukia, representing a multinational Korean-Japanese lineup. Taehwan (Oh Tae-hwan; born June 6, 2004) is an ENFP who studied at Dong-Ah Institute of Media and Arts (K-Pop Department) and previously competed on the Mnet survival programs PROJECT 7 (30th place) and FAN PICK. Rukia, the group's maknae, was born March 31, 2009 and brings experience as a former YG Entertainment trainee to the lineup. The full INTHE X project unit built substantial pre-debut fandom through a mini fan meeting in December 2025, the Fortune Tour event in January 2026, and the Epilogue: End=Beginning fan meeting on February 21, 2026. Under Kim Jaejoong's direct creative oversight, KEYVITUP is developing a concept and sound distinct from the more internationally-oriented VAY ONN. iNKODE has confirmed the two groups will carry completely different concepts and musical directions. KEYVITUP is targeting an April 2026 debut, ahead of sister group VAY ONN's June target, making them the first group from Kim Jaejoong's label to reach a full commercial launch.
