The final debut lineup was revealed in September of last year. At that time, P NATION released the official profile photos for each of the band's seven members.
The seven boys were chosen through SBS's audition program "LOUD." JYP Entertainment and P NATION jointly organized in 2021.
Although the lineup originally had seven members, PSY's company announced this past January that Tanaka Koki will no longer debut as a member of P NATION's boy group. Instead, he remains as a trainee.
The label explained that the label had much deliberation with Koki himself and his parents. They have agreed that it would be best if Koki pursue further training before making his official debut.
