History[edit]

Pre-debut[edit]

Members Chan, Seungwoo, Seungsik and Byungchan joined A Cube Entertainment in 2014 and were among the company's first batch of male trainees.[1][2][3] Hanse and Sejun joined a year later, followed by last-minute addition, former Cube Entertainment trainee Subin.[3][4] Several of the members had experience working with their label-mates whilst still trainees, having been back-up dancers for Apink at their 2015 "Pink Island" concerts and recorded backing vocals for Huh Gak's album.[5]

2016: Me & 7 Men and debut[edit]

In August 2016, Plan A Entertainment (formerly A Cube Entertainment) released details regarding the new group they planned to debut, referred to as "Plan A Boys", and their upcoming reality show that would chronicle the group's preparation for debut, titled Me & 7 Men, with the first episode airing August 30 on Mnet.[6]

On September 1, Seungsik, Sejun and Hanse released a digital single as Plan A Boys in collaboration with Huh Gak titled "#Begin Again", accompanied by a music video starring Huh Gak and all seven members of the group.[7]

Following the finale of Me & 7 Men, the group's official debut was set for November 9. For their debut, Plan A held a debut showcase for the group on November 9, announcing their group name Victon, an acronym for "Voice to a New World", with their debut EP Voice to New World with the dual title tracks "I'm Fine" and "What Time Is It Now?" being released the same day.[8]

2017: Further EP releases[edit]

On March 2, 2017, Victon released their second EP, Ready, with the lead single titled "Eyez Eyez".[9][10] Despite being relative rookies, the members were personally involved in the production process, with Hanse writing all his rap parts and Chan and Seungwoo co-creating the choreography for "Eyez Eyez" and the other promoted song "Blank" (얼타).[11] "Eyez Eyez" is primarily in the futuresynth genre, with the group's second EP intended to show a different musical side to the group than their debut release.[12] Critics also noted from its music video and more sophisticated choreography that the group had adopted a more mature and charismatic image.[13][14]

Victon's third EP, Identity, was released on August 23, with a total of five tracks including the lead single "Unbelievable". They also held a comeback showcase at the Samsung Hall at Ewha Womans University on the same day as the album's release.[15][16]

Their lead single, “Howling”, achieved first place on The Show, on March 17, and was the group's first win with all seven members.[36] It was announced later by Play M that member Byungchan would sit out of group promotions due to a herniated disk in his neck.[37] From April 14 Seungwoo and Seungsik co-hosted the radio show Blanket Kick (이불킥), which airs on Naver's streaming app Naver NOW. on Tuesday nights;[38][39] Chan eventually replaced Seungwoo as co-host on July 20, 2021, due to the latter's impending enlistment.[40][41]

In October, Hanse confirmed he was working on a solo mixtape release, although without a set release date.[46]

On November 4, it was announced that Victon would be releasing their first full studio album Voice: The Future Is Now on December 1 with the lead single "What I Said".[47] Subsequently, it was announced that the release of their new album would be delayed after the members had come into contact with an external staff member who had tested positive for COVID-19.
