It is also reported that some of the members of Brand New Music's new boy group have already been decided, and a dedicated team has been established to systematically manage the band.
In addition to this, the forthcoming act is said to be Brand New Music's first multi-group that will be composed of versatile and unique members, one of which is previously part of the project boy group X1, which was formed through Mnet's survival reality show "Produce X 101" in 2019.
This former X1 member is none other than Lee Eunsang. In the finale of Mnet's "Produce X 101," Eunsang received the "X" position, making him part of the debut lineup.
Nearly five months after their debut in August 2019, X1 disbanded in January 2020 following the voting manipulation scandal surrounding Mnet.
In August last year, former X1 member Eunsang made his solo debut with the single album, "Beautiful Scar." In October, he teamed up with his former X1 bandmate Kim Wooseok for the single "Memories."
