TNX
P NATION’s TNX group is making its comeback today with a second mini album entitled «LOVE NEVER DIES», during a showcase held in Seoul.
Composed of members KYUNGJUN, JUNHYEOK, HWI, SUNGJUN, HYUNSOO, and TAEHUN, TNX is a group whose abbreviation means two things: Together with TNX as well as Thanks, a way for the group to continuously thank its fans who support it since its beginnings, last year. The showcase usually begins with a photo shoot for the journalists present, the members marching one by one on stage before the MV of «Love never dies» is broadcast. JUNHYEOK is not present on this day, but his absence is not felt thanks to the professionalism of the group which only makes its first comeback.
After a first performance, the five boys sit on chairs with the MC of the day, to discuss this new album, and its title song that have just been presented to reporters. The MC does not fail to point out that this is the very first boys band of P NATION, and that it needs a lot of support to pave the way for future groups.
The members begin by thanking this new opportunity to stand on stage, as well as the entire technical team surrounding them, without forgetting to send a message to their fans. They also express their love for the title song, declaring that from the first listening, they enjoyed it very much. As for the message of the album, it is oriented as we can think around love and pain, and therefore the complex feelings surrounding this love feeling.
So, they like words that relate to love, “sarang” in Korean, so pay attention to what you hear in the song. Concerning the main point of the choreography, it is undeniably at the time of the chorus, as demonstrated by TAEHUN through a dance demonstration. Some parts of the clip are also shot in one go, demonstrating the talent of the boys. Then it’s time for the group to answer some questions prepared by the journalists.

Concerning the absent member, JUNHYEOK, it is because of his health that he cannot be present on this day, but the members ask to be understanding of him, and to wait for the day when they will again be six on stage. Afterwards, we ask them which member best fits the concept of this album is the answer is undeniable: SUNGJUN, who receives all the votes although he is the youngest of the group.
TAEHUN declares that most of the themes addressed in the album concern those who are nearing their twenties, as well as those who are already in, pointing finger at SUNGJUN. He recounts the words that made him stand out more from their boss, PSY: «have confidence in you», trying to stick to it as much as possible. TAEHUN takes this opportunity to thank him for his many feedback, his listening, and frequent meetings with the group to give them valuable advice, saying that they will do their best not to disappoint him.
TNX also looks back on its preparation period of nine months before being able to make a comeback on this day, HWI saying that it was an opportunity for them to appropriate the concept of the group, to develop a story, and to train more and more to improve and that these nine months have flown quickly, and have not been futile. There is a lack of group experience at times, such as forgetting to announce their name when some members answer questions, but it only makes them more friendly.

HYUNSOO concludes by addressing the group’s goal: to make their music reach as many people as possible, and to go and meet their own, while making sure to come back with a new album before summer. Thus, ending the talk-show session, the group performed a second song, «I Need U», to further mark the minds of reporters, which is considered a second title song. After this performance, the group thanked the journalists who came to attend this showcase, as well as their fans.
They reaffirm their goal to release new songs soon, and to be healthy, something we can only wish for them.
Our reporter’s words: “An endearing group that formed the TNX members, good luck with this comeback!”
