Career

Pre-debut

Prior to debut, all of the members except for Alex competed in the competition reality show Produce X 101, with Cha Jun-ho finishing ninth in the program and thus becoming a member of the project group X1.[5] The remaining members with an additional trainee named Lee Sung-jun (now a part of the group Blank2y) released the single "1M1S" under the name W Project 4.[6] The single charted at number 81 on Billboard's K-pop Hot 100.[7]

2020–2021: Debut and subsequent releases

In September 2020, Woollim Entertainment announced the debut of a new boy group that would be composed of seven members called Drippin.[5] They participated in a reality program, released through KT's Seezn, We are Drippin, documenting the process leading up to their debut.[8][9] The group debuted on October 28 with the extended play Boyager, a combination of the word "boy" and "voyager", after the Voyager program.[3]

On March 16, 2021, the group released their second EP, A Better Tomorrow, and its title track "Young Blood".[10]

On June 29, 2021, the group released their first single album, Free Pass, and its title track of the same name.[11]

On November 11, 2021, Drippin released the promotional single "Vertigo" through Universe Music for the mobile application, Universe.[12]

2022–present: Villain series, Japanese debut, Seven Sins and Alex’s departure

On January 17, 2022, Drippin released their third EP, Villain, and its title track of the same name.[13]

On May 18, 2022, Drippin made their Japanese debut with the single "So Good".[14]

On June 15, 2022, Drippin released their second single album, Villain: Zero, and its title track "Zero".[15]

On November 15, 2022, Drippin released their first studio album, Villain: The End, and its title track "The One". It was originally set to be released on November 1, but on October 30, Woollim Entertainment announced the postponement of the album due to the national mourning period following the Seoul Halloween crowd crush incident on the 29th.[16]

On January 26, 2023, Woollim Entertainment announced that Alex's activities would be temporarily suspended due to his health.[17] Drippin's third single album, entiled Seven Sins, and its title track of the same name were released on April 19. This marked their first release as six members due to Alex remaining on hiatus at the time of its release.

On July 28, Woollim Entertainment released a statement announcing Alex's departure from Drippin and the termination of his exclusive contract, with the group to reorganize and continue their activities with the remaining six members.[18]
