In episode 1 of A-road, the company revealed that the seven of them are in a debut candidate group that will debut in 2022. However, in the process of evaluation, a member can be removed from the group if they do not meet the requirements.
Therefore, we can understand that the members of the debuting group are not final.
After the announcement was made, the boys were interviewed by staff and gave their honest opinions on how they felt.
Jihoon mentioned that he is feeling worried and had mixed feelings after hearing the news.

In the process of the debut evaluation, fans will be able to see them prepare for their monthly evaluation. As mentioned by one of the staff, they are utilizing a new debut preparation plan where they will be evaluating them through choreographies and songs produced by the members themselves.

After every assessment, they will be given honest feedback by performance directors, producers, and coaches. This program aims to prepare the members for when they debut, the company wants to ensure each member's talents can stand out.
A member of the company stated that the group will be able to tell their stories through the songs and choreography that is produced by them. We believe the debut group will be self-producing idols.
