History



Pre-debut


Lim Young-min and Kim Dong-hyun met as trainees under Brand New Music. They represented the agency alongside Lee Dae-hwi and Park Woo-jin in Produce 101 Season 2. When the show ended, neither of the two earned a spot in the project unit Wanna One: Young-min finished 15th overall, while Dong-hyun was eliminated prior to finale, placing 28th.[3]

On July 12, it was announced that Young-min and Dong-hyun would debut as a project unit,[5] with both having signed exclusive contracts with Brand New Music before Produce 101 and becoming members of Brand New Boys.[3] The name MXM reportedly stands for both "Mix and Match" and "More x More". The former refers to the duo's compatibility as a group despite contrasting qualities, while the latter refers to their determination to develop as a duo.[lower-alpha 1][2] On July 27, they released a two-track promotional single titled "Good Day".[2][6] Dong-hyun wrote the lyrics of the single's second track "I Just Do" with Young-min, as well as arranging and producing it with Brand New Music producer, Kiggen.[6]

MXM officially debuted on September 6 with the release of their EP entitled Unmix. The EP contains seven tracks, including "Good Day" and "I Just Do".[7][lower-alpha 2][8] The lead single, "I'm the One," was written and produced by Brand New Music producers 9999 and Esbee.[9]

In 2018, MXM announced their release of a double single titled Rematch on March 6, 2018, accompanied with a music video for the track "Gone Cold", produced by Primeboi. They worked on their second Rematch single titled "Love Me Now" with 9999 and Esbee.[12] Also in March 2018, they announced a Makestar photobook project, which opened for participation on March 9.[13]

MXM released their first full-length album titled More Than Ever on August 14, 2018, with the lead single "Ya Ya Ya".[14][15] Following the released of the album, MXM announced would held their first concert titled More Than Ever on September 29 and 30 at Olympic Hall.[16]

On November 7, the duo released special single One More with double lead single, "Knock Knock (TAK Remix)" and "You Look So Different".[17]

Notes


  1. Excerpt: 임영민과 김동현의 유닛명 'MXM (BRANDNEW BOYS)'은 'MIX & MATCH'의 약자이자, 'MORE X MORE'의 약자로 임영민, 김동현 두 멤버의 매력을 합쳐 새로운 매력으로 선보이겠다는 의미와 함께 계속해서 더 성장해 나가겠다는 의미를 담았으며, 유닛명만으로도 이번 데뷔에 대한 남다른 각오와 열정이 느껴져 큰 기대감을 심어준다.[2]
  2. Excerpt: 앨범명은 '언믹스'(UNMIX)로, 이 중 2곡이 27일 선공개됐다. 전체 앨범은 이르면 8월 말, 늦으면 9월 초에 발매할 예정이다.[7]
  3. "Good Day" was released digitally as pre-debut single.[24]
  4. "Gone Cold" and "Love Me Now" were released as the double A-side from the group's double single titled "Rematch".[27]
