FLARE U

FLARE U is a two-member FNC Entertainment unit built from the strongest unfinished thread left by Boys II Planet. The duo pairs Chuei Liyu and Kang Woojin, two contestants who missed the final ALPHA DRIVE ONE lineup but carried enough heat for a rapid follow-up. FNC confirmed the project in March 2026, formalized the FLARE U name and official socials in April, and set an early stress test through a May 9 stage at KCON Japan. It is a clean, fast-moving post-show pivot under FNC Entertainment, not a vague maybe.
