History[]
Pre-debut[]
BC and Rubin had experience in the music industry prior to debut. BC was a former member of the boy group I-REX until its disbandment. He was also a former contestant on the idol survival reality show, BOYS24, and was a member of their pre-debut boy group of the same name. He later went onto another idol survival reality show, MIXNINE, but was eliminated.
Like BC, Rubin was also a former contestant on the idol survival reality show, BOYS24, a member of BOYS24, and also participated on MIXNINE, but unlike BC, he made it into the top 9 ranks to debut. However, their debut was canceled due to disagreements with contract lengths between YG Entertainment and the trainees' individual companies.
