CIX
Sleek, noir-tinged pop with a heavy R&B pulse. Sophisticated melodies and liquid synths create a late-night urban atmosphere that feels both intimate and cinematic.

CIX (Complete in X) emerged in 2019 as a highly curated project from C9 Entertainment, quickly distinguishing themselves through a sophisticated 'noir-pop' identity. Their sound is characterized by a blend of deep house, R&B, and electropop, often produced by international teams like MZMC.
This collaboration has resulted in a discography that feels more aligned with Western alternative R&B and house trends than traditional bubblegum pop. Their 'Hello' series of EPs established a complex narrative world, often touching on darker, more existential themes of youth and alienation. Despite the 2024 departure of center Bae Jin-young, the group has maintained a reputation for high-concept performance and sonic consistency. Critical consensus often highlights their 'sleekness' and the technical ability of vocalists Seunghun and Hyunsuk. They occupy a cultural space as 'the connoisseur's boy group,' appealing to listeners who value atmospheric production and cohesive album experiences over viral gimmicks.
