Uniq (band)

Uniq (Korean유니크; stylized in all caps) was a South Korean–Chinese boy band formed by Chinese company Yuehua Entertainment in 2014. The group consists of five members: Zhou Yixuan, Kim Sung-joo, Li Wenhan, Cho Seung-youn, and Wang Yibo. Uniq officially debuted on October 20, 2014, with their debut single "Falling In Love" in both China and South Korea.

Uniq was initially planned as a YG Entertainment boy group, with the five members spending between two and five years at YG as trainees. Uniq was to be a collaborative effort with the Chinese company Yuehua Entertainment. Ultimately, the group debuted solely under Yuehua.

On October 16, 2014, Uniq had their first broadcast performance in South Korea, on M Countdown. Their debut single, "Falling In Love", was released on October 20 in both China and South Korea.[citation needed] The group released the English adaptation of "Falling in Love" on November 5. Uniq had their first Chinese event, their fanmeet in Beijing on November 25. On November 27, Uniq began promotions in Taiwan and held a press conference on December 1. Uniq's three episode reality show The Best Debut began airing on December 2 on the Chinese online video platform, iQiyi.

Early in their debut, Uniq was chosen to participate in the OST for the movies TMNT and Penguins of Madagascar. On October 23, they released the song "Born to Fight" for the Chinese release of TMNT. On November 10, they released "Celebrate" for the Chinese release of Penguins of Madagascar.

In January 2015, Uniq became endorsers for Xtep, a Chinese athletic brand. In February 2015, Uniq began promoting a Chinese beauty shop, Mix-Box, replacing Ko Chen-tung as the official endorser.

Uniq held their first fanmeet in Thailand in Bangkok on March 7.

In April, Yuehua Entertainment announced Uniq's comeback with their first mini album titled "EOEO". On April 22 they held their first comeback broadcast performance on MBC's Show Champion, performing their title track "EOEO" and "Listen to Me". On April 23, Uniq made their official comeback in China, performing "Listen to Me" at the KU Music Asian Music Awards. They were also awarded with KU Music Asian Music Awards' "Best New Artist" the same day. On April 24, Uniq released their mini album and the official music video for "EOEO". After the release of "EOEO", the music video reached number 3 on the YinYueTai Weekly MV Chart.

On May 22, Uniq released the official music video for their follow up track "Luv Again". Uniq achieved their first music show award on CCTV's Global Chinese Music chart on May 23. Uniq broke the record for most wins on Global Chinese Music Chart with three wins by non-live voting and three wins by live voting, beating the record previously held by EXO-M in 2014.
