The trainees from “Boys Planet” have burst onto the scene as the latest 5th generation rookies, and they’re making waves in the music industry. In this article, we’ll introduce you to these rising stars and their journey to stardom in the world of K-Pop.
Note: ZEROBASEONE is an exception, so they are excluded from this list.
TIOT
TIOT, previously known as Redstartz, is a 4-member boy group under Redstart entertainment who released their pre-debut album “Frame the Blueprint: Prelude of Possibilities,” with their title track ‘Unbeatable’ on August 23 2023. The four members of the group are: Kim MinSeoung, Kum JunHyeon, Hong KeonHee and Choi WooJin, you might know them from their iconic star level test performance of the song ‘NUNU NANA’ by Jessie, which left all of us in awe of their talents and ability to make any song seem like their own.
LE’V
LE’V, known as Wang ZiHao during “Boys Planet,” is a solo artist under Chromosome Entertainment Group who just debuted with his first EP “A.I.BAE” on August 18, making him the first “Boys Planet” eliminated trainee to debut. You might know him for his strength and skills when dancing in performances such as ‘LAW’ or ‘Supercharger’ or his huge amount of views and the speed he would achieve the 100% support during “Boys Planet.”
EVNNE
EVNNE, previously known as BLIT, is a 7-member boygroup under Jellyfish Entertainment consisting on various trainees from different agencies who participated on the show. So far, we only know their debut date, which is on be September 18 2023. The 7 members who conform the group are: Lee JongHyeon, Yoo SeungEon, Mun JungHyun, Keita, Ji YunSeo, Park HanBin, and Park JiHoo. Due to them being all from different agencies, I cannot provide performances of them together, but I will leave a fancam of each member, since we also don’t have much debut content yet. Check out their YouTube channel as well: EVNNE YouTube channel.
TOZ
TOZ is a 4-member boygroup under YY Entertainment. They have no official debut date yet as they are the most recent group to be announced. Please check out their socials (@TOZ_YYent) for more information on their debut coming out in the future! The four members of the group were recently revealed on the group’s Instagram account. They are: Takuto, Haruto, Yuto, and Anthonny. Yet again, we do not have any official group content, so I will leave fancams of all four groups members.
Jeong Ichan (ichan)
Jeong Ichan, previously known as Jeong JaeBom during the 2020 HYBE survival show “I-LAND,” is a solo artist, lyricist and producer under HYPLE Entertainment, who also produces for a producing group called PAPERMAKER. He debuted on June 23, 2022 with his first single ‘Eternal Summer’, and recently made a comeback with the single album “Stranger,” containing two songs, ‘Stranger’ and ‘Not Afraid’. Sadly, ichan’s talents haven’t been properly showcased on both of the shows he’s been on, from the lack of screentime in “I-LAND,” to the evil editing in “Boys Planet.” Fans have felt like the shows aren’t allowing him to show his full potential.
