KPOP DISCOVER's CIX note

CIX is a boy group that C9 Entertainment sent out in July 2019, the name standing for Complete in X. The debut song Movie Star raised heavy visuals and tidy dance performance at the same time and made a vivid entrance for a fourth-generation act. Bae Jinyoung left at the end of his contract in 2024, and BX, Seunghun, Yonghee and Hyunsuk continued as a four-piece. They kept stacking up releases until the end of activity was announced with the expiry of the contracts at the end of April 2026.

Begin with Movie Star, Cinema, 458 and Save me, Kill me. Movie Star gives the entrance of polished dance pop, and Cinema turns to an open brightness. 458 lets the sheer intensity of the performing come through unfiltered and overwrites any impression that the visuals came first. Save me, Kill me from 2023 puts the lyrical side to the front, a late signature song that shows their strength in carrying feeling. Jungle with its dark storytelling, the bright pop of Wave and the Japanese release Pinky Swear make this a group that changed expression from release to release.

In 2022 the Japanese single Pinky Swear gave them a point of contact on both sides. As a four-piece in 2025 they left THUNDER FEVER and 'GO' Chapter 1 : GO Together, still cutting official releases after the change. The history closes with the end of activity in 2026, but the change only becomes visible across the whole seven-year run. Movie Star, then 458, then Save me, Kill me runs through the polish of the debut, the force of the performing and the depth of the lyrical years.

Editors' take Movie Star / 458 / Save me, Kill me — a C9 Entertainment four-piece from the debut through the performing to the lyrical years in three songs.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 115/ 210 groups

No. 115 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 55%)

  • 1Japanese releases
  • 7Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 1Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
