X1 was an 11 member project boy group formed through the show Produce X 101 (season 4 of the Produce series). They had a 5-year contract and were managed by Swing entertainment. Unfortunately, the group disbanded 5 months after their debut in August 2019 due to the scandal Mnet faced related to the Produce series and other survival shows. It was revealed that the voting had been rigged, contestants had been snubbed, and placements had been predetermined. It's a shame that all the contestants who worked hard with the dream to debut were unfairly taken advantage of.

The group had its final lineup with the winning contestants being Seungwoo, Seungyoun, Wooseok, Yohan, Hangyul, Junho, Dongpyo, Minhee, Eunsang, Heongjun, and Dohyon. They debuted on August 27th, 2019, with their first mini-album Emergency: Quantum Leap and title track "Flash." The group holds the record for the shortest time taken to earn their first weekly show win, 5 days. The group also holds the record for the highest first-week sales for a debut album, over 500,000 copies, a record previously held by Kang Daniel. Their title track "Flash" also holds the record for the fastest boy group debut music video to reach 100 million views doing so in just 334 days. The record was previously held by TXT, which took 348 days. X1 was destined to do many great things, and, sadly, they disbanded, but all of the former members have moved on and luckily been able to re-debut elsewhere. Let's take a look at where they are now!

Seungwoo (3rd place) 

Seungwoo was voted to be the leader of X1. He ranked 3rd on the show. After X1's disbandment, he returned to his former group Victon. The group debuted on November 9th, 2016, under Play M entertainment (formerly known as Play A entertainment). Upon debut, he became the group's leader, lead rapper, lead vocalist, and lead dancer, but upon debuting with X1, he gave up his leadership role in Victon to member Seungsik. It appears that Seungsik is still the leader despite Seungwoo's return.* The group's last release was on January 11th with their title track "What I Said." 

In addition to returning to Victon, Seungwoo also had his own solo debut. He released his first mini-album Fame, on August 10th, 2020. His title track "Sacrifice" currently has 11.5 million views on Youtube. 

2. Seungyoun (5th place) 

Seungyoun was the main vocalist and lead rapper of X1. He placed 5th overall on the show. Before Produce X 101, Seungyoun was a part of the group UNIQ (and currently still is). The group debuted on October 16th, 2014, and have been inactive since 2018. Although they have not officially disbanded, the members have been indulging in their own private activities. 

If you don't recognize him by the name Seungyoun, then you might recognize him by the name Woodz. After X1 disbanded, Seungyoun continued his solo activities under the name Woodz. He received his first win on November 24th, 2020, with his song "Bump Bump."His latest release, "Feel Like," came out on March 15th, 2021. The mv currently has 14 million views on Youtube. 

3. Wooseok (2nd place)

Wooseok was the lead vocalist and visual in X1. He placed 2nd overall in the show. After X1 was disbanded, he returned to his group UP10TION. UP10TION debuted on September 10th, 2015, with their mini-album Top Secret and title track "So, Dangerous." Despite Wooseok still being a member of the group, he has not been an active member since he got competed on Produce X 101 in 2019. The group has been continuing with their releases, their latest being their single "Destiny," which they released on November 27th, 2020. 

While he is not currently releasing music with his group, he continues his own activities as a soloist. On May 25th, 2020, Wooseok made his debut as a soloist with his song "Red Moon." He had his first-ever comeback on February 7th, 2021, with the release of his song "Sugar." The mv currently has 13.1 million views, and he earned 2 weekly music show wins, his first-ever being on February 18th, 2020, where he beat HyunA's "Im Not Cool."

That is where all of the former X1 members currently are. I am happy that they have all moved on and are still working in the Kpop industry. Which of these new boy groups do you stan? Who was your former X1 bias?
