History
[edit]Pre-debut
[edit]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 6, 2020.[6]
After X1's disbandment, the two held a fan meeting titled "Happy Day" on February 2, 2020.[7]
2020: Debut
[edit]On April 21, 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 September 2, it was announced that the duo would make a comeback on September 23 with the special album Umbrella, including the title track of the same name. The album includes songs composed by Dohyon.[9] This was their last album before the duo disbanded, as both Hangyul and Dohyon then debuted in Pocketdol Studio's boy group BAE173.[10][11]
