BY9 is a project group that was created with a similar concept as JBJ and I.B.I, taking trainees that were eliminated from contention from debuting in the winning group. Fans raised ₩100 million KRW in an attempt to fund the group’s debut, and C9 Entertainment‘s trainee Geum Donghyun has echoed the same sentiments as Lee Jinhyuk, only joining the group if it is all 9 members.
