BOYSGROUP, presented in all caps, was a Japanese alternative idol boy band created by WACK in 2022. Their first release, the studio album We are Boysgroup, came out on January 18, 2023. The ensemble officially dissolved on May 14, 2023.
History
In 2021, WACK organized the Project WACK-Chin Audition. The winner, Tasukukusu, took part in WACK's inaugural all-male audition known as the WACK Men's Joint Audition held in February 2022. During the audition camp, WACK revealed intentions to launch its first male idol group. Although Tasukukusu was eliminated, three finalists—John Gokuh, Chin Bonbon, and Che Jiming (who later adopted the stage names Rin, Ryosei, and Shunji)—were chosen to form the initial lineup of the group then called WACK Boyz.
The group's roster expanded following the Second WACK Men's Joint Audition in August 2022 with the addition of four members: Ecchichichiichiichii, New, Yatto The Endo, and Hanagemonster (later renamed Hinata, Haru, Ayuru, and Ryota). Hinata departed from the group in October 2022. On December 7, the band received its official name: Boysgroup.
Their debut album We are Boysgroup was released on January 18, 2023. The first single titled "Super Hero" was issued on May 10. The group concluded activities with a final show on May 14 during their Boysgroup 1st Oneman Tour at Esaka Muse in Osaka.
