Look out for Xdinary Heroes, JYP Entertainment’s newest rock boy band (also called boy group) in town. They debuted on December 6, 2021, at 6.00 PM KST with their extraordinary dark and satirical concept, Happy Death Day. Even before debut, the road-less-taken theme was already creating buzz on the internet.

The band is the second group under JYPE, which debuted their first band, DAY6, in 2015. Like their seniors, Xdinary Heroes will also aim to become Gen Z's representative K-band.

The band members of Xdinary Heroes

The group’s debut single release Happy Death Day is in sync with the Gen Z mentality of satire as it takes a dig at birthdays: a polar opposite viewpoint of celebrating one’s birthday is that one is another year closer to their death.

Ahead of their debut, the agency released a detailed, case-file-themed member profile of their members. Take a look at the six members of Xdinary Heroes’ profiles below.
