Say hello to the future of K-pop where pixels sing, dance, and steal your heart — meet SKINZ, the newest virtual boy group that’s taking over your FYPs and fan hearts alike!
They officially debuted on April 10, 2025, under Bridge Entertainment, but trust us, these boys didn’t just appear out of thin air. With a name that screams cool — SKINZ, short for Synthetic Kinetic Infinite Next-gen Zenith, this seven-member group is here to rewrite what it means to be an idol.
Meet the SKINZ Members
Members include Dovin, Yull, Theo, Dael, Finn, Jaon, and Ilang Kwon, each comes with their own vibe, voice, and visuals. And while they're virtual, their charisma is anything but artificial. They're not just faces on a screen; they're performers with swagger, style, and surprisingly good stage presence!
First Drop: “YOUNG & LOUD”
If rebellion had a soundtrack, this would be it. Their debut track, “YOUNG & LOUD,” is a high-energy fusion of rock, funk, and hip-hop. Think gritty guitars, bold moves, and lyrics like:
“Young and loud, never gonna bow. We’re the future. We’re the now.”
And who’s behind the beat? None other than EL CAPITXN — yes, the genius who’s worked with BTS and IU!
Their First Stage? Tokyo Dome, Baby!
Not every group gets to say their first major live stage is at the Tokyo Dome, but SKINZ can. They're set to perform at SBS Inkigayo Live Unicorn in Tokyo this October, showing just how serious this group is about going global.
Virtual but Not Alone: What About PLAVE?
SKINZ isn't the first to blur the line between digital and real. PLAVE, another popular virtual K-pop boyband, has already made waves with real-time performances, live fan calls, and an ultra-loyal fanbase. While PLAVE leans more into soft visuals and dreamy vocals, SKINZ comes in loud, edgy, and full of attitude. It’s virtual variety at its best!
Netizens Are Talking…
With stunning visuals and confident personas, SKINZ has caught the attention of fans and critics alike. Sure, some online chatter has poked fun at their designs, but with a track as catchy as “YOUNG & LOUD,” they’ve got more than just looks to back them up.
From pre-debut self-composed songs like “돌아오는 길” and “Poison Ivy” to voice teasers and mysterious drops, SKINZ has been building their identity piece by piece. And now that they’ve landed, they’re here to stay!
