X1 (Korean: 엑스원, romanized: Ekseuwon, pronounced as X-One) is a South Korean boy band formed by CJ ENM through the Mnet reality competition show Produce X 101. The group is composed of eleven members: Kim Yo-han, Kim Woo-seok, Han Seung-woo, Song Hyeong-jun, Cho Seung-youn, Son Dong-pyo, Lee Han-gyul, Nam Do-hyon, Cha Jun-ho, Kang Min-hee and Lee Eun-sang. The group debuted on August 27, 2019 under Swing Entertainment and is co-managed by Stone Music Entertainment.[1]

Their contract will end 5 years after debut, with a 2.5-year exclusive contract and another 2.5-year non-exclusive contract, meaning that the individual members can return to co-promote with their original agencies after the first half of their contract is over.[2]

Name

The group's name, X1, was suggested by netizens through the official Produce X 101 website and chosen by CJ E&M, with the name taken from the show's title song "X1-MA". X1 means "11" in Roman numbers, and also represents 10 members + 1 member who received the 'X' rank.[citation needed]

On August 19, X1 released their fandom name, "ONE IT". The name “One It” has two meanings. The first, “want it” like how the members wish to achieve their goals, and second, how their fans are the one thing most important to X1.

History

Pre-debut: Produce X 101

Main article: Produce X 101

X1 was formed through the survival competition series Produce X 101, which aired on Mnet from May 3, 2019, until July 19, 2019. Out of an initial 101 trainees participating, the final 10 were chosen out of the remaining 20 trainees by audience votes in the final week of the show. The final member, known as the rank X member, is selected from the remaining trainees with the highest combined votes across all episodes of the show. All members are announced via a live television broadcast on July 19, 2019.[3]

Prior to the program, many of the members have already been active in the music industry. Cho Seung-youn debuted as a member of Uniq in 2014. He also debuted as a solo artist and music producer under the stage name Luizy in 2016, before changing it to WOODZ in 2018.[4] He is known for producing the Idol Producer debut evaluation song "It's Ok".[5] Kim Woo-seok debuted in UP10TION under the name Wooshin in September 2015, in which he was also the host of SBS MTV's The Show alongside Produce 101 (season 1) contestant & former I.O.I member Jeon So-mi in 2016. Han Seung-woo debuted as a member and the leader of Victon in November 2016.[6] Lee Han-gyul previously debuted as a member of Yama and Hotchicks Entertainment's ballad group IM and competed with his fellow IM members in KBS2's The Unit where he ended up in 13th place.[7] Fellow MBK trainee Nam Do-hyon was a contestant in MBC's Under Nineteen as a member of the Rap Team and was ended up in 42nd place on the show.[8]

2019: Debut

See also: Mnet vote manipulation investigation

After the program, the Top 11 contestants debuted under Stone Music's Swing Entertainment, the label which housed the second season Produce 101 Season 2 winner Wanna One.[1] However, following a civil lawsuit filed against Mnet due to Produce X 101's vote manipulation allegations, several brands cancelled their endorsement deals with X1 or put them on hold.[9] Some of the agencies of the contestants refused to sign until the allegations cleared up.[10] In spite of this, X1's debut proceeded as planned.[11]

Ahead of debut, the group's reality show X1 Flash premiered on August 22, 2019 through Mnet. The reality show follows the members as they prepare for their debut, and gives a glimpse into their real lives.[12] The group debuted on August 27, 2019 with a debut showcase at Gocheok Sky Dome.[13] On August 1, it was announced that the debuting album is Emergency: Quantum Leap with title song "Flash", composed by Score, Megatone and Onestar (Monotree).[14] On September 3, X1 won their first-ever music show win through SBS MTV's The Show one week after debut.[15] They received 11 wins in total for their debut song, "Flash" with their 11th win being on M Countdown on September 19.

On November 5, 2019, Ahn Joon-young, the producer of Produce X 101, was arrested, and he later admitted to rigging the rankings of the show.[16] This affected X1's image and caused several public appearances to be cancelled. Mnet announced that there were currently no plans for the group to promote.[17]

X1 has sold over 500,000 physical copies of their EP in first week of sales,[21] hence broke the record for having the highest first week sales for a debut album, which was a record that was previously set by solo artist, Kang Daniel with his debut album, Color On Me.

On the September 19 episode of “M Countdown,” the nominees for first place had been X1's “Flash” and Lee Woo's “My Regards.” X1 took the win with an entire score of 10,945 to Lee Woo's 4,521, making X1 get 11 wins in total for "Flash".[22]
