Background and release

On February 9, the finalists in survival show Under Nineteen were revealed and the group immediately started preparations for their debut, starting with arranging their own version of the song "Like a Magic" (which was first released as one of the final song for 9 of the Top 19 finalists), performing on Show! Music Core as a warm-up for their group sound. "Like a Magic" did not end up being officially released with the final line up and on the EP, "Domino",[1] a song produced in seven days by Crush[2][3][4] was released with a music video as a promotional single.[5] Lead single "Spotlight" was later released in three different music video versions.[6]

Promotion

Prior to their debut, the group began promotions through their reality show Wonderland, which premiered on March 22, 2019, on the cable channel MBC.[7] A series of individual teasers was released per member before the debut timeline was announced.[8][9] The first set of concept photos were later released.[10]
