He’ll be joining fellow Boys Planet contestant Yoon Jong Woo. 

Interestingly, ONE PACT would be Oh Seong Min’s second group as he was previously part of the group TO1. There, he promoted under the stage name Jerome. 

For those unfamiliar, TO1 was formed through Mnet’s reality show To Be World Klass. Initially named as TOO, the group made its debut in April 2020. However, the group didn’t gain that much popularity as its management CJ ENM and n.CH Entertainment got involved in legal disputes. Because of this, several members left the group, which lead to lineup changes. 

In June 2022, Jerome announced his departure from TO1, alongside Minsu and Woong Gi. 

Although they left TO1, they remained to be part of WAKEONE Entertainment. Several months after leaving the group, Oh Seong Min participated in Boys Planet wherein he finished in 35th place.

The group will be called ONE PACT, which is a fusion of the words “one” and “impact.” Furthermore, the group name is meant to signify the act’s goal of being united to make a significant impact. 

According to Korean media, the agency has teased that the members of ONE PACT will have members with diverse personalities and charms. 

Aside from Oh Seong Min and Yoon Jong Woo, ARMADA Entertainment has yet to provide details on the other members.

Additionally, the agency also hasn’t confirmed the final number of members, as well as target debut date for the group. 

Moreover, ONE PACT will join the list of growing Boys Planet contestants who entered the industry after the series.
