About Jerome and Woong Gi & Their Activities Before Leaving TO1

Jerome and Woong Gi debuted as members of TO1 on April 1, 2020. Jerome was the lead vocalist and visual of the group, while Woong Gi was the sub-vocalist and maknae.

TO1, which originally debuted as TOO, was formed through the reality show "World Klass," which aired in October to December 2019 and featured contestants from Korea, Japan, China, the United States, Australia, and more.

During the finale of the program, Woong Gi ranked fourth, while Jerome finished in seventh place.

Shortly after their debut, Jerome and Woong Gi, together with their fellow members, competed in Mnet's idol competition show "Road to Kingdom." Sadly, they were eliminated in the seventh episode.

The two have since been active in carrying out TO1's scheduled activities since their debut. They took part in the group's comeback with their first mini-album "Reason for Being: Benevolence" and their second comeback with their second EP "Running TOOgether."

After TOO changed their name, Jerome and Woong Gi re-debuted as TO1 members in May 2021 with their first EP "Re:Born." It was followed by the release of their second EP "Re:Alize" in November of the same year.

However, one month later, Woong Gi was announced to be taking a break from group activities due to an anxiety disorder. He has since been inactive in TO1's activities until he eventually left the group.

Jerome and Woong Gi's last music project as TO1 members is "Re:Alize," which contains the title song "No More X."
