X:IN (Korean: 엑신; RR: Eksin) is a multinational girl group based in South Korea.[1] Managed by Escrow Entertainment, the group consists of five members: E.sha, Nizz, Nova, Hannah and Aria.[2][3] They made their debut on April 11, 2023 with single "Keeping the Fire".[1]
Name
In an interview, one of the members, Aria, revealed that she came up with the term "EXIN" as it is derived from a Latin which means "furthermore". This term was later evolved into the stylized form "X:IN" where X symbolises an unknown variable, as seen in mathematics, representing the group's mission to convey concepts beyond standard definition through their uniqueness and talent.[citation needed]
History
2022-23: Pre-debut activities
Before joining X:IN, E.sha was member of groups like Rusty.G and LAONZENA.[citation needed] Nova was part of the dance cover team Dalcom, where she performed K-pop dance covers in public. She also worked as a voice actress, dubbing characters in Russian. Nova joined Escrow Entertainment through online auditions and underwent only four months of training before debuting.[4] Aria, known as an Indian K-pop idol, was a former child actress. She appeared in Malayalam movies such as Melvilasom.[5][unreliable source?] Like Nova, she joined Escrow Entertainment through online auditions. Roa debuted as a soloist on April 24, 2017, and was also a pre-debut member of DAILY. Similarly, Chi.U made her solo debut in November 2021 and was a member of the dance team Majesty. Additionally, she appeared in Episode 2 of Dreamcatcher's Why Not Me.
April 2023: Debut and Introduction

Due to personal circumstances, Chi.U departed the group in June 2023, followed by Roa in July 2023. In July 2023, the company announced a lineup change, introducing two new Korean members, Nizz and Hannah.[7][unreliable source?]
