"Kep1er" was a name suggested by viewers of Girls Planet 999 through the website Naver.[2] The name is a reference to the planets in the Kepler star systems named after the 16th century astronomer Johannes Kepler.[3]
The name is also kept in relation to Girls Planet 999 by continuing the show's cosmic theme.[citation needed]
History
Formation through Girls Planet 999
Main article: Girls Planet 999
Kep1er was formed through the Mnet reality survival show Girls Planet 999, which aired from August 6 to October 22, 2021. The show brought 99 contestants from China, Japan and South Korea to compete to debut in a multinational girl group.[4] Out of initially 99 contestants, only the top nine would make the final lineup.[5]
Before the show began, several group members had already been active in the entertainment industry. Choi Yu-jin made her debut in the Cube Entertainment girl group CLC on March 19, 2015 with the group's extended play (EP) First Love; she was on hiatus from CLC due to activities with Kep1er until their disbandment.[6] In 2010, Kang Ye-seo was a member of the girl group CutieL before joining Busters from 2019 to 2020.[7]
Kim Da-yeon participated in Produce 48 in 2018, representing CNC Entertainment,[8] while Shen Xiaoting participated in Produce Camp 2020, representing Top Class Entertainment. Both were eliminated in the first round, placing 70th and 80th in their respective shows. Mashiro Sakamoto, a trainee at JYP Entertainment from 2016 to 2018,[9] appeared in the first episode of the Mnet reality survival show Stray Kids as part of the female trainee team, but did not progress past the first episode. Following Produce 48, Da-yeon left CNC Entertainment and signed with Stardium Entertainment, only to leave once more after her debut plans fell through.[10] Xiaoting was a competitive ballroom and modern dancer, having won a gold medal in a modern dance sport competition in Shanghai, as well as ranking sixth globally in a British competition.[11]

Kep1er was originally scheduled to debut on December 14, 2021, with pre-orders for their EP First Impact having begun on November 29.[12] They were also initially scheduled to perform at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards on December 11.[13] However, it was announced that the group's scheduled debut had been delayed to January 3, 2022 after one of their staff members tested positive for COVID-19.[14][15] Their performance at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards was also cancelled.[16] On December 14, it was revealed that group members Mashiro and Xiaoting tested positive for COVID-19[17] and were announced to have fully recovered on December 26.[18]
