## History

UNB (You & Unit B) was a South Korean boy group that originated from the KBS reality show "The Unit." The formation of the group took place through a survival reality competition where participants from various entertainment agencies and former idol group members competed for a spot in the final lineup. The group officially debuted on April 7, 2018, with their first mini-album titled "Boyhood."

The lineup of UNB consisted of nine talented members: Jun, Euijin, Ko Ho-jung, Feeldog, Marco, Ji Han-sol, Daewon, Kijung, and Chan. Each member brought unique skills and experiences from their previous activities in the entertainment industry, contributing to the diversity and versatility of the group.

Following their debut, UNB actively engaged in promotional activities, showcasing their musical talents and captivating performances. Their debut album, "Boyhood," received positive reviews for its dynamic tracks and the group's cohesive synergy. UNB's popularity grew rapidly, and they gained a dedicated fan base both in South Korea and internationally.

Despite their initial success, UNB faced the inevitable challenge of navigating the competitive and ever-changing landscape of the K-pop industry. Unfortunately, on January 27, 2019, UNB officially concluded their activities. The decision to disband came after their final Japanese concert, marking the end of an era for the group.

Throughout their brief but impactful existence, UNB left a lasting impression on fans and the K-pop community. The members continued their individual pursuits in the entertainment industry, with some returning to their respective groups or taking on solo projects. UNB's legacy lives on through their music, performances, and the memories they created during their time together as a talented and dynamic boy group formed through the unique platform of "The Unit."
