JYP's New Boy Group oftheblue Sets Official Debut Date

JYP Entertainment's new boy group oftheblue will make its official debut on Jan. 11, 2027.

SQU4D, an artist division within JYP Entertainment, announced on Nov. 12 that the group will release its first EP, "out of the blue," at 6 p.m. KST on its debut date.

Ahead of its debut, oftheblue has opened a pop-up store at Scène in Seoul's Seongsu area. The store will run from Nov. 12 through Nov. 25.

The pop-up offers four types of merchandise, including caps and T-shirts featuring the group's logo and the phrase "EVERYTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF THE BLUE," which also appears on its promotional website.

The group released its pre-debut single, "Aerotherapy", on Nov. 11. The members participated in creating the song, which captures the feeling of clearing one's mind and relaxing after a difficult day. Its laid-back sound evokes the sensation of lying on a cloud.

Following the release, both "oftheblue" and "Aerotherapy" appeared on South Korea's real-time trending topics on X, formerly Twitter.

To celebrate the release, the members hosted an audio-only livestream on their official YouTube channel.

"Our first song, 'Aerotherapy,' is finally out," the members said. "Honestly, it still doesn't feel real. It's amazing and exciting that we can finally share the music we've worked so hard on."

"We're nervous, but we'll continue to share good music and show you different sides of ourselves. Please look forward to what's coming and spread the word about us little by little," they added.

oftheblue is the first boy group introduced by SQU4D, the JYP Entertainment division behind girl group NMIXX. The group will officially debut with "out of the blue" on Jan. 11, 2027.
