I would just love any and all information as much as possible before I dive in! That includes release date of videos (I’d like to watch them in the order they were released! I think HYBE is very purposeful about that) but also any important or interesting info you have about the group!

All I know is that K and EJ and Nicholas are also on the team!

Is this the permanent team name or just their predebut name? Have they officially debuted or is everything still considered pre-release?

*NOTE: I wanna specify I don’t need the ACTUAL dates of the videos, my bad. I mean I just need to know the order list in which they came out!!

Today is their official debut day! As they are a Japanese based group, they had their debut (Under the Skin) released ahead of the album and just had a MV for their bside (Scent of You) this morning. They are a 9 member group with Taki as a member from I-land as well. EJ has just been announced their leader

&Team is the official name. They were formed on a show called &Audition - The Howling (It's on Youtube and personally I liked it - just 8 episodes). The pre-debut song is called Under the skin. First they released a normal MV and a few days later an extended version that focuses more on the story line.

they officially debuted today as a group of 9, with 4 members being from iland (k, ej, nicholas and taki). they had a survival/competition show earlier in the year called ‘&audition- the howling’ in which they gained their other 5 members out of the participating 11. it only has 8 episodes (1h each) if you’d like to check that out too at some point. the debut today is with a mini album and title track scent of you, however they pre-released a single from the album about 2 weeks ago called ‘under the skin’

Taki is also on the team! &team is their permanent name and they are set to officially debut in Japan on Dec. 7, 2022. I believe the first content released for them is their audition show “&audition - howling” to select the remaining members aside from the 4 (k, EJ, Nicholas & taki). The eps can all be found on YouTube!

They officially debuted today PD‼️The survival show “&AUDITION” dropped a MV for the show in July called “The Final Countdown” with all 15 trainees‼️ &TEAM pre-released a MV for their lead single “Under The Skin” on November 22, along with a choreography video and extended version MV‼️ They released the title track MV for “Scent Of You” today‼️ EJ was named the leader of the group and Fuma is the co-leader‼️ The rest of the new members along with Fuma are Yuma, Jo, Harua, and Maki‼️ They dropped a four song EP titled “First Howling: Me” which includes “Under The Skin”, “Scent Of You”, “Buzz Love” and “The Final Countdown(&Team Ver.)‼️ They are a permanent group‼️ Also their showcase is tomorrow‼️

What timing PD! So &team is a permanent Hybe Japan first group that was born from &audition on July 9th, and they select 9 members out of 15 participants. Their songs and MV are good and worth checking Taki is also here so 4 members from I-land. Just read that EJ is their leader. As other Hybe's group has their own lore and webtoon, &team has Dark Moon: The Grey City, which is connected to Enhypen's Dark Moon: the Blood Altar. Like Hybe intends to make this group from the beginning connected to Enhypen. Jun 27th - 'Final Countdown' MV - https://youtu.be/w_-6BFgX2yQ (though this is &audition signal song with 15 participants it's also really good that's why I include it here) Nov 21st - 'Under the skin' MV - https://youtu.be/0utfT0nbuTA (this is their pre-release song) Dec 4th - 'Under the skin' Extended ver. MV - https://youtu.be/_ATqY9GFRh0 (this one is 10 minutes movie MV with a real Japanese actor as the dying person you will see in the beginning, still has some shots from the MV but with additional lore scenes and a surprise in the end) Dec 7th - 'Scent of You' MV release - https://youtu.be/69IT-53ULZA (they just debut 2 hours ago)

So it's K, Nicholas, EJ and Taki. 9 members chosen during the survival show &Audition: the Howling (you can watch it on YouTube if you want to fund out about the members) There's also a 20 min video released today which is about right after the show I believe. No subtitles yet BUT there's a pinned message stating the subs will be up as soon as possible. EJ was just announced as the leader Their official debut was Under the Skin (2 MV's, the first is the length of the song and the other has to do with their story line and is like....10 minutes) their second MV released today called Scent of You. Both songs are honestly really good and I like the Hybe Japan isn't playing with the Japanese releases and is putting just s much effort in this side as they would any of their Korean groups. There's going to be a webtoon just like with BTS, TXT, Enhypen and Le Sserafim.

Emma Davies Lopez

their lore is heavily linked with enhypen, with enhypen being vampires and &team being werewolves who attend rival schools. this is why k and ej appeared in the drunk dazed mv, and also why the scene is replayed in one of &teams videos (under the skin mv extended version). the overall lore plot line is explained in detail in the webtoon ‘the blood moon alter’ (of which you reacted to the ost ‘one in a billion’).

Vicki Haan

So excited for this! They are amazing! Thanks PD! 🙏

yessi

The debut is actually Scent of You, Under the skin is the pre release :))

Ri

Ah is it? I always considered UTS as their lead track considering the MV scale and the way they promote it

DreamyStateOfMind

EJ is the leader? I'm kinda surprised ngl, I always assumed it would be one of the older guys, like K or Fuma. He always struck me as a quiet and reserved person, although he has shown he can be quite mischievous as well lol. Not necessarily the first thing I'd associate with a leader, but then again, he seems to be a very responsible and caring person too. But I'm sure the members and their team chose him for a reason, surely they did the whole test phase thing Hybe often does, to determine who's the best fit. I'm actually super proud it's him, the more I think of it, the more it makes sense to me. Congratulations to him ^^

billie27

I'm also very surprise by that. But it seems like since &team is gonna stay in korea even though they promoting in japan that having a leader that is fluent in korean is easier..? But I'm sure they have other reasons too

Bison

Hi ! I'm really happy you got intersted in this group ! &Team is the real name of the group for now. K, Taki, EJ and Nicholas was the &Boys and was sure to debut. The survival show &Audition was in 2 parts, one to assure a debut and the second part to select the members.

I was so excited to see this! I was about to list out all the content they put out as and audition boys but I think that may be overkill. They have performed 'the final countdown', which was the theme song of their audition show, as the nine of them on Japanese TV a few times now. Our fandom is called Lune. Nicholas seems to be our rapper so far, with Maki (the youngest) being the lead vocal. The nine members in age order are: K '97 - from I-land, possibly center? Fuma '98 - I believe he was a backup dancer for BTS at some of their Japanese shows, he choreographs and taught dance classes (my bias wrecker so far) Nicholas '02 - from I-land, speaks 4 languages now! EJ '02 - from I-land, Leader Yuma '04 - an allrounder that has trained at many places Jo '04 - like 6 foot 1, quiet, draws, I honestly don't know all that much about him Harua '05 - vocal, on the quiet side, gets a lot of lines, main focus in their trailer Taki '05 - from I-land, has grown up so much! And is learning English Maki '06 - adorable, lead vocal (I think), half German, speaks fluent English

&Audition is available on Hybelabelplus youtube channel. There are 2 versions of Under the skin mv (normal and extended). They just released a new song 'scent of you' https://youtu.be/69IT-53ULZA.

I came to Patreon right after finishing their 'Scent of You' MV to see if you released anything yet and I'm so excited to hear your point of view! I am in love with how Hybe is tying all their groups together through Webtoon, the comic is really good and adds so much more depth to &Team and Enhypen. Stray Kids are my absolute favorite but these two groups from Hybe have really caught my eye, the Supernatural lore and story have stolen my heart!

Maya Fey

MAKI IS HALF GERMAN??? Fuuu I need to check them out :D can he speak German?

Melissa O

Completely random info for you. Maki is the youngest and 2 months younger than Ni-Ki. He is German/Japanese and speaks fluent English. So if you ever hear someone beside Nicholas speaking in English, very probably Maki. Taki, Ni-Ki and Maki are all born within a year of each other and all really named Riki. So thank you, gentlemen, for making nicknames 🤣. Guess it was a really popular name in Japan at the time.

Melissa Argueta

They are a permanent team! EJ, Nicholas, K and Taki were the fixed members for this group after i-land, and then they did &audition to find the other five! This consists of Jo, Maki, Yuma, Fuma, and Harua. The fandom name is Lunè. EJ was announced as the leader today as well!

Sky

Looking forward to seeing your reaction! Recommend watching their survival show &AUDITION: The Howling (all episodes are on Youtube) that aired a few months ago if you wanna get to know the members a bit better — plus it has some really great performances!

Gabrielle Renae

Yes, those 4 were guaranteed members (HE LOOKS LIKE A GROWN LITTLE MAN NOW ITS CRAZY) They have their own little vlogs on the channel before the show was introduced. How they were training together and learning a mix of Japanese, Korean and English.

Seanna Sta. Ana

It was just announced that EJ and Fuma are the co-leaders :)

Maf

PD are you reacting to txt's concep trailer for their new album?? are we going to have any txt content dropping on bonus??

Mattie H.

I was surprised too! But apparently, he's the leader and Fuma is the co-leader so thats pretty interesting.

Aj Tree

You should definitely start with their &Audition stuff on YouTube to really get to know the band just like what you did for Enhypen.

Melissa O

Technically they very first MV released was with all 15 contestants for &Audition called “The Final Countdown” and does sort of set up the werewolf concept. They have re recorded the song with just the final 9 and included that on this debut EP.

Neeko

And my dude is grownnnn. I saw the MVs and didn't recognize him at first lolol.

Khin

You should definitely check out &Audition too! So K, EJ, Nicholas and Taki are already fixed for the debut team and they are having an audition program for finding the remaining 5 members. Their performances are also really good!

yessi

It’s super interesting to have EJ as leader him being Korean and quite introverted but I think language won’t be an issue based on their interviews and behind the scenes content and seeing SOOBIN from TXT with a similar introversion I think EJ will do very well with the members ofc with Fuma supporting him :)

Andy Ruiz

I don’t know why I want the heartbreak again but you should really check out the howling, it’s a great introduction to the new members and honestly even our eggies get to shine in a new light through it.
