The special pictorial for the Cosmopolitan Beautiful Mint Life Festival of rookie group AxMxP, who is about to debut, has been released.

The members of AxMxP, who rose to stardom as a hot rookie band by being included in the ‘Beautiful Mint Life’ festival lineup even before their debut, expressed their anticipation for the festival in an interview.

Vocalist Ha Yu-jun said, “We will show the passion and enthusiasm of a rookie on stage before leaving,” and bassist Joo-hwan, the youngest member of the group, expressed his bold ambitions, saying, “We will make you feel joy and sorrow through our performance.”

Then, Ha Yu-jun answered a question about his self-introduction and ambitions, saying, “It’s so attractive to be able to convey a message to the world with your voice.I’ve been making music as a hobby since high school.I happened to be cast by a company and became a band vocalist, which is how I fell in love with band music.I originally wanted to do hip-hop, but in the future, I want to grow into a musician who can do both genres simultaneously.” To the same question, drummer Crew said, “I want to help many people through music.In particular, my dream is to convey good energy at concert halls.After winning an award at the ‘Seoul Drum Festival’ competition, I became AxMxP.”

Joo Hwan revealed the reason he dreamed of being in a band, saying, “I happened to hear N.Flying’s ‘Hot Potato’ on TV when I was in elementary school and that’s when I became interested in bands.I joined the band while learning guitar at school in the 6th grade, and now I’m preparing to go out into the world as AxMxP through an audition.” Guitarist Kim Shin expressed his anticipation for the debut, saying, “I’ve always liked expressing and delivering my own stories through art.Music was one of them.I auditioned in middle school on my teacher’s recommendation, and since then I’ve been waiting for the team’s debut with the dream of expressing my and AxMxP’s messages through music.”

Hot rookie band AxMxP, who are about to debut, will perform at the ‘Beautiful Mint Life’ festival held at Olympic Park from June 13th to 15th.

The June issue of Cosmopolitan, featuring AxMxP’s pictorial and interview, is available at bookstores nationwide, and can also be found on the Cosmopolitan Korea website and Instagram.
