600 days, that’s what NCHIVE is celebrating this November 29, 2025.
The South Korean boy group NCHIVE (엔카이브, often shortened to NCV) is formed under AUBEMOON STUDIO and currently consists of six members: HA.L, E.aN, KANGSAN, YUCHAN, JUYOUNG, and N.
Their official debut took place on April 9, 2024 with the release of their single album “DRIVE”. Originally a seven-member group, they included MINJUN, who departed on July 1, 2024 due to health reasons.
Since debuting, NCHIVE has been highly active both domestically and internationally. After “DRIVE”, they released a special single “First Nchristmas!” on December 24, 2024. For their first anniversary (April 9, 2025), the group unveiled the special single “NEVER GIVE UP” and held their first fan-con, “2025 NCHIVE Fancon [Never Give Up]”, from April 25 to 27. More recently, on October 31, 2025, they announced a new single album, “BELIEVE”, marking their second comeback.
On the international stage, NCHIVE has multiplied appearances outside Korea. They performed at the annual Korean Festival in Houston, marking their first live appearance before an international audience. They are also preparing for an international tour, demonstrating their ambition to establish themselves as a global group.
Their official fandom is SAVE (세이브). The name, meaning “to save / to keep,” echoes the concept behind NCHIVE: combining “(N) Unknown” and “Archive”, symbolizing the group’s intention to “store happy memories with their fans.” SAVE represents this shared archive.
Since its debut, NCHIVE has sought to maintain a strong closeness with the SAVE. As early as March 2024, the agency launched a dedicated fan platform offering announcements, real-time chat, lives, and exclusive content, allowing fans to stay connected even before concerts.

In their first anniversary interview, the members expressed deep gratitude toward the SAVE, speaking of shared memories, live performances, moments of self-doubt, and the strength they gain from this support.
On social media and in comments under videos or official announcements, several fans have expressed their excitement and anticipation for the group’s upcoming projects. For example, after the announcement of the “BELIEVE” album, reactions such as “I can’t wait”, “I want that day to come quickly”, “Let’s go”, or “So happy we finally have ‘Luv+me’” were widespread.
Since their debut, KSTATION TV has been able to meet the members of NCHIVE.
Whether on the showcase stage during their very first media presentation,
or during other performances, interviews, concerts, and backstage moments.
Our reporters and the director of KSTATION TV met the group and the team around them. Bonds between the members, respect and complicity with their staff and the director of their agency, the members showed us sides of themselves that differ from what you may see on stage. Here is a small look below.
Indeed, like all artists, they remain professional in front of cameras and the press, and maintain a strong bond with their fans. KSTATION TV’s strength lies in being able to discover them differently, while respecting their individuality. If on stage and in videos you see six energetic, powerful young men, off camera, when we can spend time with them, we discover the maknae N, very sociable, eager to communicate even when a language barrier exists, also extroverted and unafraid of interacting with others. Compared to JUYOUNG, who is more reserved and slightly shy, but whom we can sense wants to release the energy he holds within.
YUCHAN, who does not need to stand out thanks to his height and handsome features, remains professional at all times, giving him an air of mystery. KANGSAN is the boldest, eager to speak and almost unable to hold back from saying what he thinks, which is very pleasant and shows his lively personality. He also showed us he’s a foodie (very much so, in our interview he was an expert on French pastries).
And what about the leader and the hyung? They fully embody their roles at all times. HA.L knows how to speak, how to communicate, and one can feel that sometimes he would like to break free and unleash all the energy inside him waiting to burst. E.aN, as we learned live in Paris, is the one who has the most difficulty waking up and heading to work, yet he exudes the most maturity. With various passions, he projects calm charisma, charm, and appears like a friend you could have long discussions with.
To celebrate NCHIVE’s “600 days since debut”, it is time to highlight how much their journey has grown, and this is only the beginning.
The next major step for them is the “ACTIVE LIVE” tour, which will take them across Asia after its European leg. The confirmed official dates are:
- In Japan — Tokyo on December 13 and 14, 2025.
- In Taiwan — December 20 and 21, 2025.
- In Cambodia — December 27 and 28, 2025.
This tour marks an important milestone: it is NCHIVE’s first European tour, accompanied by its new single album “BELIEVE”, released on October 31, 2025. Now the six members are preparing for the Asian dates and the activities that will follow.
Message from the director of KSTATION TV: “As NCHIVE continues to grow, internationally, with their fans, and musically, I am proud to have met them, followed them since their beginnings, and gotten to know a little more about them. I am convinced that the future holds many wonderful steps for them, and I look forward to following them with you.”
