FNC's Rookie Band AxMxP Dominates Festival Circuit Through Year-End Season
FNC Entertainment's breakout rock act AxMxP continues building momentum with a packed year-end performance schedule, including the Innomas Music Series 2 on December 28 at Daegu EXCO Auditorium.
The performance marks another major booking for the four-piece band-Ha Yoo Joon (vocals/rap), Kim Shin (guitar/vocals), Cru (drums), and Ju Hwan (bass/vocals)-who debuted just three months ago in September. At the Innomas Music Series 2, they'll deliver their signature mix of explosive rock power and melodic hooks on the event's second day.
Since their September 10 debut with the self-titled album "AxMxP," the group has carved out an impressive niche on Korea's festival scene. They've already conquered stages at Beautiful Mint Life 2025 in June and the Busan International Rock Festival in September, proving their live performance chops well before their official launch.
The year-end run doesn't stop with Innomas. AxMxP will hit three more major festivals: PEAKBOX 2025 vol.2: Love·Youth·Happiness on November 30, Someday Christmas in Busan on December 27, and Countdown Fantasy 2025-2026 on December 30.
Their debut album made serious noise in the industry. With approximately 63,000 copies sold in its first week, "AxMxP" set the record for highest first-week sales by any band debut album in Korean music history. The achievement helped them land Billboard Korea's K-Pop Rookie of the Month honors for September.
The 10-track album showcases range across punk rock, hip-hop rock, and ballads through three title tracks: "I Did It," "Shocking Drama," and "Love Poem." FNC Entertainment launched AxMxP as their first new band in a decade, following the legacy of labelmates FTISLAND, CNBLUE, and N.Flying.
Their debut showcase drew over 2,000 fans to Olympic Hall, where the group-whose members range from 15 to 20 years old-performed the entire album with veteran-level confidence. That stage presence came from years of pre-debut preparation, including performances across Asia through FNC's Band Kingdom tour series in Tokyo, Kaohsiung, and Taipei.
Tickets for Innomas Music Series 2 go on sale November 21 at 8 PM KST via Ticketlink.
