History

2020: Debut and Road to Kingdom

On March 20, it was announced that the group will join Mnet's reality television competition Road to Kingdom.[3] They were the second group eliminated in the seventh episode.

The group debuted with their first mini album Reason For Being: Benevolence on April 1, with the title track "Magnolia".[4]

On July 15, the group released their second mini album Running TOOgether, with the title track "Count 1, 2."[5]

On August 13, at the 2020 Soribada Awards, TOO won the "New Artist Award", their first rookie award since debut.[6]

2021: Reformation, Re:Born, and Re:Alize

On January 13, CJ ENM and n.CH Entertainment were involved in management disputes, where CJ ENM reportedly terminated their management contract with n.CH Entertainment.[7] One day later, n.CH Entertainment responded to the disputes by stating that their contract was not formally signed for months, and that no expenses were paid since August 2020.[8]

It was announced on March 28 that the group had changed its name from TOO to TO1.[9][1]

TO1 made their re-debut with their first EP Re:Born on May 20, with the title track "Son of Beast".[10][11] The group will be managed under CJ ENM's music label, Wake One Entertainment.[12]

On November 4, TO1 released their second EP Re:Alize, with the title track "No More X".[13]

On December 28, Wake One announced that Woonggi would be taking a break from the group due to an anxiety disorder, and thus TO1 would temporarily continue with the remaining members.

2022: Chihoon's departure

On April 30, Wake One Entertainment released an official statement via TO1's fan cafe, announcing member Chihoon's departure from the group.[14]
