Ciipher (Korean: 싸이퍼; RR: Ssaipeo) is a South Korean boy band created by South Korean singer Rain under R.A.I.N. Company. The group consists of three members: Hwi, Hyunbin, and Keita. Originally a seven-piece ensemble, members Tan, Tag, Dohwan, and Won left the group on August 9, 2023.[1] They debuted on March 15, 2021, with the extended play (EP) I Like You.

History

[edit]

Pre-debut

[edit]

Preparation for the debut of the group has been three years in the making.[2] About selecting the members for the first group signed under his R.A.I.N company, Rain said, "There were a lot of factors involved in the process of making Ciipher, but when I met these kids, I felt like I could bet it all on them. Not just my time or my skill, but all the things I had and have made. Whether the group has good results or not, I don't think I'll regret the things that I gave to this group. That's how talented and well-mannered they are".[3]

Prior to joining the group, many of the members had auditioned on popular television programs or trained at other major labels.[2] In December 2014, Tan competed in Mnet's survival reality show No.Mercy under his birth name Choi Seok-won. However, he did not make it into the final lineup of Monsta X in 2015.[4] Keita and Dohwan were former contestants on YG's Treasure Box, but they both did not make it into the show's final debut lineup.[5] Won was a contestant on Under Nineteen under his birth name Park Sung-won. He became a member of the debut lineup as he finished in 7th place. Won debuted as a member of 1the9 on April 13, 2019, and the group officially disbanded as a group on August 8, 2020.[6][7][8] Hyunbin was a former contestant on Produce X 101 under Starship Entertainment,[9][10][11] and was eliminated on episode 8, finishing in 32nd place.
