~ Backstory ~

The Korean members trained at Pledis (before HYBE) during the same time that Seventeen were trainees, debuting in a four-member group called ROXI in 2017. Unfortunately, after four years, the fourth member left the group due to personal conflicts with the company so the group decided to disband. The three remaining members knew they wanted to stay at the company and possibly rebrand their group. During this time, for better or for worse, Pledis was being acquired by HYBE, so the management team and the CEO used this as an opportunity to form the three girls into a new group.

In a matter of months, they held global auditions and found three talented ladies to join the Korean members to form the group Z10N. They trained together as a six-member group for only a couple of months before debuting in 2022!
