Taira

Taira (타이라), born Yamashita Taira (山下 剛楽), is the Japanese member of TUNEXX under IST Entertainment. Before debut, he built his performance base through Avex's Dance Master system in Tokyo, a training lane that shows up in the precision and physical confidence of his stage work.

IST confirmed Taira as part of TUNEXX's launch lineup in early 2026, giving the seven-member team a sharper international shape from the start. The group rolled out first through drama OST activity, then officially debuted on March 3, 2026 with the mini album SET BY US ONLY and title track Proof That I Am Alive. The release also carried production ties to Black Eyed Pilseung producer Choi Gyu-sung.

Taira's lane inside TUNEXX is built on clean movement and stable live delivery rather than excessive ornament. That matters for a rookie team trying to establish identity quickly. He reads as one of the members IST can push across performance-heavy stages without losing control of the group's polish.
