Bae Jin-young will pursue solo activities in the first half of the year and debut in the group C9BOYZ (tentative name) in the second half.

On the 27th, the official SNS channels, including the C9BOYZ Instagram account, were opened late at night.

Bae Jin-young's agency, C9 Entertainment, stated, "After sufficient discussion with Bae Jin-young since the end of last year, it has been confirmed that he will pursue both solo and group activities, and he has been living in a dorm with the members since February for the group's debut in the second half of the year."
