Nine by Nine (Thai: ไนน์บายนาย, stylized as NINE BY NINE or 9x9) was a nine-member Thai boy group formed in 2018. The members were brought together in a special one-year project created in collaboration of 4Nologue with Nadao Bangkok. From 2018 to 2019, the group has released one mini-album and five songs, embarked on a three concert series, and appeared as cast members for Thai TV series In Family We Trust (2018) and Great Men Academy (2019). The group disbanded in March 2019 when the duration of the special project has formally ended.

In April 2021, he announced that he terminated his contract with 4NOLOGUE and will continue his career outside the agency.

Career

4NOLOGUE held a press conference on 1 March 2018 to unveil the project and introduce the members of Nine by Nine. The label's CEO Anuwat Wichiennarat says the group members are set to star in two television series, to be produced by Nadao Bangkok. The group underwent a full year of hard training, which aims to develop each members' singing and dancing skills. Their first television series was In Family We Trust where they took on the roles as the grandchildren of a Thai Chinese business family.

Nine by Nine officially debuted on 8 November 2018, releasing their debut single "Night Light" and its music video. The second single entitled "Hypnotize" was released on December 22, 2018, in an exclusive first official streaming on JOOX. The 'Hypnotize' Music Video was released on 9 January 2019 and was available to stream in various online channels. In February 2019, Nine by Nine released their third single entitled "The Lucky One" which also served as the official soundtrack for their second TV series, Great Men Academy.

The fourth single "Shouldn't" was released on 7 March 2019, days before the group's last concert. Nine by Nine's last single entitled "Eternity", was released and performed for the first time, on 9 March 2019 during the EN(D)ROUTE concert in Impact Arena. The music video for the song featured scenes from the final concert and other behind-the-scene videos of the group.

Almost a year after Nine by Nine's disbandment, seven out of the nine members made a surprise appearance as a group and performed at the 2020 Line TV Awards where they also received the Best Viral Scene Award for Great Men Academy.
