| Submission declined on 17 May 2025 by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Teens in Times (Chinese: 时代少年团) is a Chinese boy group. Members include Ma Jiaqi, Ding Chengxin, Song Yaxuan, Liu Yaowen, Zhang Zhenyuan, Yan Haoxiang, and He Junlin.[1][2][3] The group is one of China's most popular boy bands.[4][5][6]
Name
[edit]时代少年团 literally translates to “Teen Group of the Times” or “Era Youth Group.” The English name "Teens in Times" is only a conceptual adaptation rather than a direct translation. The name reflects the group’s identity as a representation of Chinese youth. In addition to the literal meaning, the acronym "TNT" not only stands for "Teens in Times" but also references the explosive compound trinitrotoluen.[7]
History

The group was created as a continuation of the now disbanded TFBOYS and Typhoon Teens boy groups. Candidates for the new group were chosen via TF Entertainment's survival show "Typhoon Project" (台风蜕变之战).[8][9]
On 25 August 2019, the seven members were announced. The group name was officially released on 11 October 2019. [9][10]
TNT made their official debut on 23 November 2019, with the singles "School Bulletin" (全校通报) and "Endless Adventure" (无尽的冒险) and quickly gained a fanbase.[8]
