VAY ONN

VAY ONN (베이온) is a six-member international boy group under iNKODE Entertainment, formed from the INTHE X pre-debut project produced by former JYJ and TVXQ vocalist Kim Jaejoong. Officially confirmed on February 25, 2026, the group is targeting a June 2026 debut. The lineup reflects iNKODE's international reach from the start. Sen (Shibuya Sen, 渋谷 仙; born December 25, 2005) is the Japanese leader, an INFJ who competed on BOYS II PLANET before ranking 32nd in episode 8 and pivoting to iNKODE. His specialties include skateboarding and acrobatics. Masato (Aoyagi Masato, 青柳将翔; born September 21, 2003) ranked 17th on Boys II Planet and is the group's eldest, an INFP with a background in dance and a reputation for never gaining weight regardless of what he eats. Sun Jiayang (孙佳洋; born January 5, 2006) is from Chengdu, China, an ESFP who speaks Chinese, Korean, and English and previously appeared on Chinese survival show Starlight Boys. Peng Jinyu (born March 10, 2006) is also Chinese. Teru (Kawahata Teru; born October 19, 2007) and Mano (Cho Man-ho; born February 27, 2009) are Japanese and Korean respectively, with Mano as the group's youngest. The group name captures the production philosophy: "VAY ONN begins with the smallest flutter. Like the butterfly effect, subtle vibrations created by their music ripple outward into waves that expand beyond measure." iNKODE simultaneously launched a second group, KEYVITUP, targeting an April 2026 debut from the remaining five trainees in the project.
