Formation through Planet C: Home Race

[edit]

Modyssey was formed through Mnet's spin-off reality competition series Planet C: Home Race, which aired from December 6 to December 27, 2025. The show had 18 Planet C contestants from Boys II Planet competing to debut for a spot in a new global-Chinese boy group. Out of the 18 trainees, only the top seven would make the final lineup. All the debut members were announced in the finale episode, which was broadcast live on December 27, 2025.

Before appearing on the program, several members had already been active in the entertainment industry. Zihao made his debut in JYP Entertainment's Chinese boy group Boy Story on September 21, 2018.[3] That same year, Suren took part in the MBC reality competition show Under Nineteen, but was eliminated in the final episode.[4] In 2019, Yichen took part in the iQiyi reality competition show Youth With You, but was eliminated in the fifth episode, after ranking between 67th and 96th. Hengyu made his debut in Keystone Entertainment's boy group Blank2y on May 24, 2022, under the stage name U.[5] In 2024, Yichen and Guangxu took part in the JTBC reality competition show Project 7, but both were eliminated in the final episode after ranking 12th and 20th, respectively. That same year, Chauyuet took part in the iQiyi reality competition show Starlight Boys, but was eliminated in the second episode, after ranking 65th. In 2025, all the members of Modyssey took part in the Mnet reality competition show Boys II Planet, with Chauyuet being eliminated in the second episode, after ranking 88th, Zheyi, Suren, Guangxu, and Yichen being eliminated in the eighth episode, after ranking 25th, 28th, 34th, and 42nd, respectively, and Zihao and Hengyu being eliminated in the tenth episode, after ranking 19th and 20th, respectively.[6][7]
