TIOT (short for Time Is Our Turn) is a five-member boy group formed from Mnet’s global audition program Boys Planet under Redstart ENM. Four of the members—Kum Jun-hyeon, Kim Min-seoung, Hong Keon-hee, and Choi Woo-jin—first gained attention during their intense performances on the show. After the finale, the group officially solidified their lineup by adding Shin Ye-chan, rounding out a team that blends charm, power, and serious artistry. Although TIOT may be rookies by industry standards, their early work shows a level of polish and precision that has fans and critics alike paying attention.

Their pre-debut single, "Unbeatable,” served as a mission statement—confident, dynamic, and undeniably TIOT. And when their debut EP Kick-Start dropped on April 22, 2024, it did exactly that: kick-started a new era of boy group power.

TIOT isn’t chasing trends—they’re making them. The group’s sound sits at the crossroads of hip-hop, funk-pop, and sleek R&B, but always with a twist. On “Rock Thang,” they bring explosive charisma and genre-jumping production, blending a rock-infused beat with polished pop vocals and confident rap verses. It’s a track that demands attention—and lives up to its title. Other tracks like “Goosebumps” and “Moonrise” show their emotional depth, with harmonies and lyrics that hit hard. TIOT moves effortlessly between high-octane performance tracks and intimate moments, and that range is exactly what makes them feel so now.

Their musical identity is still growing—but make no mistake: they already know who they are. And now, with a six-stop U.S. tour [FLEX ON: THE LIVE LINE BEGINS IN USA] just around the corner, taking place in LA, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York, their global era is fully underway. There’s something electric about seeing a group in their breakout year—when everything is still raw, real, and on fire. That’s what makes this August U.S. tour so exciting. You’re not just going to a concert. You’re witnessing the start of something big. With a performance style that balances crisp execution and emotional honesty, TIOT is sure to deliver performances that leave a mark on LOTI and new listeners alike!
