Six of the seven members of "AEN" were previous contestants on Starship Entertainment's recent survival show, "Debut's Plan" that created the boy group "IDID."

Haruto is the only member of "AEN" who did not previously compete on "Debut's Plan." Member Jiyong, who has been a trainee under Starship since 2019, the longest out of all of the members, will finally be making his debut.

Their debut date is currently unknown, but they will be hosting a free greeting showcase, "First Encounter" on June 27 at SGC Hall Ariake in Tokyo, Japan.
