History

Pre-debut: Under Nineteen
Main article: Under Nineteen

1THE9 was formed through the 'survival' competition series Under Nineteen, which aired on MBC from November 3, 2018 until February 9, 2019. Out of an initial 57 trainees participating, the final 9 were chosen by the audience voting and announced via live television broadcast.

During the final broadcast the final members were ranked and marked to debut by votes from the fans. It was announced that the final lineup would do a V Live to thank the fans two hours after the show as well as their name.[4][5] It was later announced that vocal team director Crush would be writing and producing the groups debuting single.[6]

Although their official debut is scheduled for April, they will be participating in "Under Nineteen's Final Concert" on February 23, 2019 performing songs from the show with the other contestants.[7] Since the show, the members have performed the single "Like a Magic" on music shows and has used it as a pre-debut promotion single.[8]

A pre-debut track "Domino" featuring Crush was released on April 7 leading up to their official debut on April 13.[11] 1THE9 began promoting the album with "Spotlight" on various music shows.[12][13]
