Unine (presented as UNINE) was a Chinese boy group consisting of nine members, active from April 2019 until October 2020.
The ensemble was assembled through the competitive reality program Youth with You. Its lineup featured Li Wenhan, Li Zhenning, Yao Mingming, Guan Yue, Jia Yi, Hu Chunyang, Xia Hanyu, Chen Youwei, and He Changxi.
History
The formation of Unine stemmed from the survival competition Youth With You, which aired between January and April 2019. From an initial pool of 100 trainees, nine individuals were selected to debut based on audience voting. Li Wenhan secured the top position, followed by Li Zhenning, Yao Mingming, Guan Yue, Jia Yi, Hu Chunyang, Xia Hanyu, Chen Youwei, and He Changxi.
Prior to joining Unine, Li Wenhan had debuted in 2014 as part of the Chinese-South Korean boy band Uniq and ventured into acting starting in 2016.
Yao Mingming’s background includes training with the South Korean group SEVENTEEN, participation in Seventeen TV, competing on Mix Nine, and membership in the K-pop boy band BLK formed in 2017 before its dissolution in 2018.
Unine launched their first EP UNLOCK on May 6, 2019, followed by the release of UNUSUAL on October 21, 2019. They showcased the lead single "Set It Off" during the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards Red Carpet Special Stage.
On May 6, 2020, they released the album U-Night Flight, comprising 11 tracks. Shortly before disbanding, they put out the EP UNFORGETTABLE on September 30, 2020. The group officially concluded activities on October 6, 2020.
