> **NewKin** (뉴킨) is a South Korean Co-ed Group that debuted in 2026. 

NewKin is an independent co-ed project group built around a rotating collective format rather than a fixed lineup, formed by "member host" Prin. The name combines "New" with "Kin" — the latter meaning family — to suggest a chosen family, and the group also frames itself as a new kind of "Kin" arriving in the K-pop ecosystem. 

Prin, who uses he/him and they/them pronouns, launched the project in August 2026 after finding that established agencies would not debut openly queer artists, assembling everything from pitch decks to member recruitment independently. The first "Stage" lineup pairs Prin as server host with DAin and Juha, introduced in early September 2026, with future releases planned to bring in new "Kins" while Prin remains the only permanent member.

The group's initial identity is built around a webcore aesthetic drawing on internet and game culture, with each release treated as a new "Stage" and members assigned symbolic animal characters tied to their real-life experiences.
