MODYSSEY

MODYSSEY (모디세이) arrived with more infrastructure than the average survival-show rookie. The seven-member boy group was assembled through Planet C: Home Race, then launched under ONECEAD Entertainment, the joint venture backed by JYP China, CJ ENM, and Tencent Music Entertainment. That structure matters because it gives the group a built-in cross-border strategy instead of a one-market trainee debut.

The debut package was designed to land hard. MODYSSEY opened on April 13, 2026 with the single album 1. Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony, led by HOOK, a title track that added extra weight through writing and composition support from 3RACHA of Stray Kids. From the start, the project signaled scale, not just fandom retention from a survival finale.

The lineup of Hengyu, Pan Zeyi, Li Zhihao, Linlin, Suren, Yichen, and Rowan gives the group both competition-show familiarity and room to build a broader China-facing K-pop lane. The follow-through matters now. With official hubs on Mnet Plus, YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify, plus the variety extension SAY SAY MODYSSEY, the group is already being pushed as a full ecosystem rather than a one-release experiment.
