Who is SIXFONIA?

SIXFONIA is a 2.5-dimensional talent group that launched on August 12, 2022, consisting of six members selected through a massive audition. Their group name derives from the English word ‘SIX’ and the word ‘SINFONIA’ (symphony), reflecting their determination to create new music together as six. As of December 25, 2025, their official YouTube channel boasts over 1.16 million subscribers. In 2025, they successfully completed a live tour that truly embodied the 2.5-dimensional concept by seamlessly blending 3D virtual elements with real-world stages. Their 2nd tour is set to begin in Spring 2026.

The solo shots highlight each member’s unique personality with poses and autographs, while the buddy cuts show off friendly two-shots that hint at their off-stage camaraderie. The group shot is a sharp, coordinated key visual inspired by “anan’s” gravure style. The background uses a two-tone design inspired by sweet milk and bittersweet chocolate. One card is a convenient solo/buddy card sized perfectly to carry in your smartphone case, and the other is a larger group card you’ll want to display. It’s the perfect way to bring a little SIXFONIA into your daily life.

The magazine’s content goes beyond the photos. The solo interviews delve into each member’s personal history, their thoughts on the group’s activities, and their hopes for the future.

The roundtable discussion kicks off with the same lively, chaotic banter familiar from their live streams.
