OX:N, K-pop boy band Omega X’s first subunit group, made their debut with the release of their first mini-album “N” on June 20.
This is Omega X’s first release in 2025 and about seven months after the group released their second Japanese mini-album, “To.,” in November 2024.
The members of OX:N are Jaehan, Xen, Jehyun and Yechan.
The “N” from OX:N’s group name symbolizes not only the Roman numeral IV for the four members of the unit but also the unknown number, n, which represents infinite possibilities that the members will explore as part of OX:N unit as well as Omega X as a whole.
“While our activities as Omega X were focused on the more K-pop idol side of us, OX:N’s album will be able to showcase a more artistic, mature, and relaxed side of us, which I am excited about. I hope our fans look forward to and enjoy our subunit album as well!” said Jehyun, a member of Omega X and OX:N.

OX:N’s debut mini-album includes five songs: “SUIT&TIE,” the title track “You,” “Let Me In,” “Orpheus,” and “Cause of You.”
The first track, “SUIT&TIE,” is inspired by the refined image of a suit and tie. The song expresses the distinction between the outer appearance and inner thoughts; looking calm and perfectly controlled on the outside while falling in love helplessly on the inside.
“You” is a pop track that will especially appeal to those who are fans of the Y2k aesthetic and millennial sound; it is a track that confesses one’s willingness to dedicate oneself to love, highlighting the honesty and pureness of love through a funky, retro melody.
OX:N member Xen participated in composing for “Let Me In, an emotional song about feeling deep regret after a break-up and eventually wishing to fall in love again.
“Orpheus” is inspired by the story of Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek Mythology, and expresses longing for the loved one through lyrical and soulful vocals.
The album closes with “Cause of You,” which is a rock track that conveys the overwhelming moment of a romantic reunion after a significant amount of time being separated. Jaehan, leader of Omega X and member of OX:N, participated in the composition, arrangement, and writing of the lyrics for this track.
“Cause of You” is also the group’s confession and appreciation to their fans, For X, who have been shining hope and positivity on the members through challenging times.
“Our debut as OX:N and the sub-unit album, N, represent the support for all 11 members of Omega X. We hope the public would send much love to OX:N and the debut album, so our sub-unit activities can serve as a reliable stepping stone for the OMEGA X members when we’re back together as a whole group,” said member Yechan.
Omega X’s members are Jaehan, Hwichan, Sebin, Hangyeom, Taedong, Xen, Jehyun, Kevin, Junghoon, Hyuk and Yechan.
