Two Years After Their Disbandment, Here Are Where All 11 Of X1’s Members Are Now
It may be hard to believe it, but it has been just over two years ago, on January 6, 2020, when X1 sadly disbanded long before they were planned to. Fortunately since then, all 11 members have gone on to have successful careers on their own, with some of them pursuing solo careers while others have joined K-Pop groups! Here is where each former member of X1 is now, as of early 2022.
1. Seungwoo
Seungwoo made his debut with VICTON in 2016 before he joined Produce X 101, which he competed on along with his fellow member Byungchan. He ended up placing third on the show, earning him a place in X1, but of course, the group didn’t last long.
Fortunately, he did have VICTON to fall back on after X1’s disbandment! Along with this, later in 2020, Seungwoo made his solo debut on August 10 with the album Fame, and also released another solo album called Fade in 2021. On July 28 last year, he enlisted in his military service, which he is currently in the process of completing.
2. Seungyoun
Seungyoun, known better these days by his solo name WOODZ, was a member of UNIQ before he took part in Produce X 101. He has been in the K-Pop industry long before most other members of X1, having debuted with UNIQ in 2014, and continues to be a member of the group today.
He ended up placing fifth on Produce X 101, and after the group disbanded, he, too, ended up pursuing a solo career to great success! He released his first solo album, Equal, on June 29, 2020, and has gone on to release two other EPs — Woops! (2020) and Only Lovers Left (2021) — as well as the single album Set (2021).
