Expansion of South Korean Boy Group idntt with New Unit
On January 5, 2026, the South Korean boy group idntt took a significant leap in their journey towards becoming a formidable force in the K-pop industry. The introduction of their second unit, yesweare, brings the total number of members to 15, paving the way for the eventual addition of nine more members to reach a remarkable 24-member lineup.
Unveiling of New Members
This expansion was officially announced by MODHAUS, revealing eight remarkable talents joining the initial seven members from the first unit, unevermet, which successfully debuted in August 2025. To celebrate this milestone, all 15 members showcased their talents at a vibrant event held at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, at 8 PM KST on the same day.
The yesweare Unit Composition
The newly introduced yesweare unit is composed of:
- Lee Cheong-myeong
- Towa
- Lee Kyu-hyuk
- Nu-ri Park
- Kim Seong-jun
- Han Ye-joon
- Choi Gyeong-been
- Hwang Eun-soo
These talented individuals merge seamlessly with the existing unevermet members, which include Kim Do-hun, Kim Hee-ju, Choi Tae-in, Lee Jae-young, Kim Ju-ho, Nam Ji-woon, and Lee Hwan-hee, as reported by the Korea Herald.
New Album Release
Alongside the launch of the yesweare unit, idntt released their second mini-album titled “yesweare” at 6 PM KST on January 5, 2026, available on all major music platforms globally. This dynamic album consists of five tracks, prominently featuring the title track “Pretty Boy Swag.” This energetic number showcases a fusion of bass, electronic guitar, and brass, complemented by synchronized choreography that highlights the talents of all 15 members.
A Unique Narrative Structure
The narrative structure of this project is particularly unique. When read in sequence, the three unit names—unevermet, yesweare, and the upcoming itsnotover—form the phrase: “You never met, yes we are, it’s not over.”This clever arrangement reflects the group’s strategy of gradually introducing their members to the audience, as highlighted by the Korea Times.
Member Insights on the Expansion
During the showcase, member Kim Hee-ju expressed enthusiasm about the group’s growth, stating, “With seven members, the stage already felt full. With eight more, we can show mega-crew performances on a much larger scale. The energy and impact are completely different.”
Album Highlights and Musical Diversity
The album also features a track called “Yes We Are, ” performed by the yesweare unit, blending industrial dance with Crunk&B and house elements, reinforcing a theme of self-definition. Other notable tracks include “BOYS, ” “Rage Problem, ” and “Moon Burn.”
Future Prospects and Vision
Under the leadership of CEO Jaden Jeong, MODHAUS has carefully crafted the roadmap for idntt’s gradual development, emulating the successful rollout strategy seen with their girl group tripleS. As the group anticipates the debut of its final unit, itsnotover, nine more members remain to be unveiled.
Lee Cheong-myeong emphasized the group’s commitment to diversity, stating, “With so many members, everyone brings their own individuality. That’s why we believe our identity is diversity.”
Looking Ahead
The debut of the yesweare unit marks a pivotal moment in idntt’s ambitious expansion journey, with expectations building up as fans await the reveal of the remaining nine members from the upcoming unit, itsnotover, as detailed by SBS Star.
