NINE.i is a Seoul-based K-Pop group under FirstOne Entertainment that debuted in 2022 and has since built a dedicated fandom, i.ENIN, across South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Their self-produced creative model — anchored by member Vahn, a credited composer and lyricist whose work extends to groups like ATBO — positions them as credible Emerging K-Pop Narrators with an authentic artistic identity. Signature tracks including "California Glow," "Grape Soda," and "sterne zählen" reflect a distinctive worldview concept, and their 2025 Debut 3rd Anniversary Live in Japan signals growing regional traction.
