Formation via The Unit

In July 2017, KBS introduced a survival program designed to create male and female unit groups composed of nine members each, selected from idols who had already debuted. This show aimed to highlight talents that had not received sufficient exposure previously. The final lineup of nine female participants was determined through public voting and revealed during a live broadcast. The series began airing on October 28, 2017, and concluded on February 10, 2018.

On February 21, 2018, it was announced that the female unit, Uni+ G, would host their inaugural fan meeting on March 3 at Blue Square iMarket Hall; tickets sold out within two hours. During the February 24 episode of The Unit's Special Show, the final nine female contestants were formally named UNI.T.

Originally scheduled to debut on May 17, 2018, UNI.T’s official debut was postponed by one day to May 18.

Debut with Line

UNI.T made their official debut with the extended play Line on May 18, 2018. The lead track "No More," produced by Shinsadong Tiger, incorporated reggae influences that distinguished their musical style. Prior to their debut, the group performed "No More" for the first time at the 2018 Dream Concert on May 12. Their debut performance on music shows took place on the same day as the album release on KBS's Music Bank, where they performed both "A Memory Clock" and "No More."

ZN's absence, final activities, and dissolution

UNI.T unveiled their second and last album, Begin with the End, on September 18, 2018, featuring the lead track "I Mean," which was produced by Brave Brothers. Prior to this release, on September 12, it was confirmed that member ZN would be absent from the farewell album due to scheduling conflicts with her main group Laboum.

The group gave their final live performance of "I Mean" and "Begin with the End" on October 18, 2018, during an appearance on Music Bank. This was followed by their concluding fan meeting event. Subsequently, UNI.T officially disbanded.
