FNC Entertainment announced, "After thorough discussions, Choi Lip Woo and Kang Woo Jin have decided to debut as a two-member duo. We aim to meet the expectations of fans who have supported them unwaveringly with high-quality music and performances."
Choi Lip Woo and Kang Woo Jin gained attention on Mnet's 'Boys Planet,' which concluded last September, for their unique charms, appealing visuals, and solid skills. As the show progressed, they showcased their growth, stable stage presence, and exceptional teamwork, earning the love of many fans.
Following the show's end, the duo continued their bond through various activities, including branded content shoots and joint radio appearances. Their close friendship became a topic of interest as they were seen attending each other's fan meetings. Recently, they were both selected as DJs for MBC FM4U's 'Friendly Friends Broadcasting Club' for March, engaging with listeners.
The group, featuring Choi Lip Woo and Kang Woo Jin, is gearing up for a May debut, with the team name and detailed activity plans to be revealed sequentially.
On the same day, it was announced that Yoo Kang Min, the youngest member of the group VERIVERY, will embark on his solo career after seven years. Fans of 'Boys Planet' stars Choi Lip Woo, Kang Woo Jin, Yoo Kang Min, and Jang Han Eum have been eager for a spin-off group, drawing significant interest in their activities. In January, a media outlet reported that Choi Lip Woo, Kang Woo Jin, and Jang Han Eum would debut together, but ultimately, only Choi Lip Woo and Kang Woo Jin formed the duo, capturing attention.
