ONF is a dynamic South Korean-Japanese boy band formed by WM Entertainment, making their debut on August 3, 2017, with the EP “ON/OFF.” Initially a seven-member group, ONF showcased their versatility and talent through a dual-team concept, with Hyojin leading the ON team and Seungjun heading the OFF team. Their debut was marked by a captivating performance on M Countdown, setting the stage for their rapid rise in the K-pop industry.
In 2018, ONF expanded their reach by signing with Victor Entertainment, officially debuting in Japan with a re-recorded version of their debut single. Their commitment to producing quality music was evident with the release of their second EP, “You Complete Me,” and subsequent singles that resonated with fans both domestically and internationally. Their participation in the survival show “Mix Nine” further solidified their popularity, with Hyojin emerging as a top contender.
The group continued to thrive with successful releases such as “We Must Love” and “Go Live,” showcasing their growth as artists. Their participation in Mnet’s “Road to Kingdom” not only highlighted their performance skills but also earned them a second-place finish, further enhancing their reputation in the competitive K-pop landscape.
After a brief hiatus due to military enlistments, ONF made a triumphant return in 2023, engaging fans with new music and performances. Their upcoming projects, including the eighth EP “Beautiful Shadow” and a concert tour, promise to deliver more of their signature sound and captivating stage presence, reaffirming ONF’s status as a leading force in the music industry.
