History
Pre-debut
Lim Young-min, Kim Dong-hyun, Park Woo-jin and Lee Dae-hwi participated in the Mnet survival series Produce 101 Season 2 in 2017. Dae-hwi and Woo-jin placed 3rd and 6th respectively, becoming members of the temporary boy group Wanna One. Young-min and Dong-hyun placed 15th and 28th respectively.[3] In 2018, Dae-hwi was involved with many solo activities, including taking part in the Global MC Crew on M Countdown[4] (on which he became a permanent host in April 2019)[5] and being a special MC on other music shows such as Inkigayo[6] and KCON during 2017–2018 on its Japan,[7] Thailand,[8] Australia,[9] and New York[10] stops.
Young-min and Dong-hyun debuted as the duo MXM in September 2017 with their first EP titled Unmix.[11][12] The duo's name stands for "Mix and Match" and "More and More," with both having different meanings for the group. The former showcases how compatible they are as a group and the latter emphasizes their ever-growing determination for growth in the music industry. In March, they released their second EP, Match Up.[12] In August, just 11 months after debuting, they released their first full-length album, More Than Ever, which marks the last chapter of their MIX, MATCH, MORE trilogy. The duo went on tour to 9 cities around the world and also had 4 sold out fan signs and meetings.[13] Dae-hwi also participated in the album by producing "Hoping That You'd Love Me" and "Dawn".[13] MXM, along with fellow Produce 101 season 2 contestants Jeong Se-woon and Lee Gwang-hyun, formed Starship and Brand New Music's project group YDPP.[14]
