Evnne (Korean: 이븐; RR: Ibeun; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean boy band formed by Jellyfish Entertainment. Originally a seven-piece, the group currently consists of five members: Keita, Park Han-bin, Lee Jeong-hyeon, Mun Jung-hyun, and Park Ji-hoo. Yoo Seung-eon and Ji Yun-seo left the group in December 2025 following the conclusion of their contracts with Jellyfish. They debuted on September 19, 2023, with the extended play (EP) Target: Me.
In 2023, Mnet aired the reality competition show Boys Planet, which saw 98 contestants from various backgrounds compete to become part of a temporary boy band under WakeOne. At the show's conclusion, nine contestants were selected to form the lineup of Zerobaseone, which debuted on July 10. Four members of Evnne made it to the Top 18 of the show's finale but were unable to debut in the final lineup, which included Park Han-bin, Keita, Lee Jeong-hyeon, and Yoo Seung-eon, who placed 11th, 12th, 15th, and 16th, respectively. The remaining members who would make up the group are Mun Jung-hyun, Park Ji-hoo, and Ji Yun-seo who were eliminated in the second round of the show, placing 29th, 33rd, and 41st, respectively.
Later, on August 3, Jellyfish Entertainment announced that seven eliminated contestants from the show, following careful discussions between the trainees' companies —WakeOne, Yuehua Entertainment, and Rain Company— would debut under the agency in the second half of 2023 as the boy band BLIT. The agency explained that the group's name is an acronym for "Boldly Leaping into Tomorrow", adding that the group promises to "break boundaries as artists". Following concerns regarding the potential misinterpretations of the group's name, Jellyfish renamed the group to "Evnne" following consultations with the members. The agency explained that the name was derived from combining "unusual words" that mean "Evening's Newest Etoiles", which represents a "new rising star in the night sky".
The group's lineup includes several members with prior experience in the entertainment industry ahead of their participation on Boys Planet. In 2021, Keita debuted as part of the boy band Ciipher under Rain Company, while Park Han-bin competed on SBS TV's Loud before joining WakeOne as a trainee.

On August 16, 2023, it was announced that Evnne would make their debut on September 19, with the EP Target: Me and its lead single "Trouble". The group released their second EP Un: Seen on January 22, 2024. The EP's lead single "Ugly" won the group's first music show win on Show Champion on January 31. Evnne released their third EP Ride or Die on June 17, 2024 with the lead single "Badder Love". On September 7, 2024, at the 7th The Fact Music Awards, Evnne won the Global Hot Trend Award, together with another group, N.SSign. Evnne released their fourth EP entitled Hot Mess on February 10, 2025 and their fifth EP, Love Anecdote(s), on August 4, 2025.
On December 8, Jellyfish announced that members Yoo Seung-eon and Ji Yun-seo will leave the group after the expiry of their contracts with the company on December 31, and return to their parent company YH Entertainment, while the remaining 5 members signed exclusive contracts with Jellyfish and will continue their group activities permanently in 2026.
Evnne released their first single album, Backtalk, on April 20, 2026, marking their first release as a five-member group. All members co-wrote the title track. The track gained attention for lyrics referencing their time on Boys Planet, as well as the various entertainment companies that the members have worked under.
