On September 3, Thursday, FNC Entertainment released official photos for their new boy group, P1Harmony, ahead of their debut. They are slated to make their debut in October.
One profile photo shows the boys in a studio, standing side by side. Dressed in all-black, the teasers show off a sense of unity, as well as each member's towering height and warm visuals.
Other photos show the members outdoor, taking against a background of the street. This showcases the boy's young and wild team color, which has piqued people's interest.
The group has six members: Kiyo, Theo Jiwoong, Intak, Soul, and Jongseob. They have an average age of 16.8 years old, as all the members are teens. Interest for the group has piqued in South Korea due to the inclusion of member Kim Jongseob, who had previously competed as the youngest contestant on 2016 SBS "KPOP Star 6". He showed his amazing talent and had won the competition.
Their name P1Harmony is composed of the words "plus", the number 1, and "harmony". Their name show "harmony" or a team rushing towards the unknown one to show members reaching for infinite possibilities and showing off various harmony.
Earlier this week on September 1, FNC Entertainment announced the opening of the group's social media accounts, including Instagram, Weibo, Vlive, and more. They announced the name of the group and their logo with a short clip shared to the official FNC Entertainment YouTube account, promoting the group as one with "outstanding skills and diverse talents".
That same day, FNC Entertainment released a "logo performance" video of the boys, which can be seen here.
Back on August 27, FNC Entertainment released a teaser for an upcoming project called "P1H: The Star of a New World", which they planned to merge K-pop and K-movie. This project shows off the cinematic universe of FNC Entertainment's new six-member boy group, scheduled to debut this fall.
The story will follow the six different boys who come from different dimensions gathering together to find the star of hope to save Earth, which is now in chaos due to a virus that causes people to commit acts of violence.
Their concept follows the story of the legend of Alkaid and Alcor. Alkaid is the easternmost star in the Big Dipper and is known as the star of hope, while Alcor is a faint star that shines next to the Big Dipper and is known as the devil's star, as it is believed that people who see the star will encounter death soon. The K-Movie will be produced by director Chang, who has worked on other popular movies like "The Target" and "Death Bell". Other than the members, actor Jung Jin Young and labelmate and CNBLUE member Jung Yong Hwa will also be acting in the film.
This concept will also be reflected in the boy's album and will continue to expand with future alums and promotions.
When talking about the film, Director Chang said, "K-pop artists are unique because they have their own musical universe, and that is why they are receiving so much love from people all over the world. I wanted to combine two genres that are the pride of Korean culture and take on the new integrative challenge of sharing the musical universe of K-pop through film."
Chang also spoke about hoping that the viewers will be able to easily digest and become more emotionally attached to the world built for the six-member boy group and gain consolation and support from their story.
