History

Pre-debut

Prior to their debut as a duo, both members had participated as contestants on multiple shows. Hangyul had previously debuted as a member of Yama and Hotchicks Entertainment's ballad group IM[2] and in 2017 and 2018, competed in the show The Unit alongside his members.[3] The group is considered to be disbanded as they've been inactive since. Dohyon previously competed in the show Under Nineteen in 2018 and 2019.[4]

Later in 2019, both Hangyul and Dohyon competed in Produce X 101, representing MBK Entertainment, alongside fellow MBK trainee Kim Yeongsang. In the show's finale, Hangyul and Dohyon placed 7th and 8th respectively, making them part of the show's debut line-up and members of the group X1.[5]. They promoted with the group until their disbandment on January 6th, 2020.[6]

After X1's disbandment, the two held a fan meeting titled "Happy Day" on February 2, 2020.[7]

On April 21, 2020, the duo debuted with their first extended play Soulmate with two title tracks, "Soul" and "Goodnight", both of which they performed during their promotion period.[8]

On May 5, 2020, it was announced that Pocketdol Studio would be debuting a new boy group in the latter half of the year. It was confirmed that both Hangyul and Dohyon will be members of this new group.[9]
