INI is a Japanese boy band. There are eleven members who are from Japan and China. It was formed from the survival audition program called Produce 101 Japan Season2.[1] This is the Japanese version of a popular audition program from South Korea. 6,000 people auditioned for the show. The show started with 101 trainees passing the audition, and 11 members were chosen through this program. After the end of Produce 101 Japan Season2, INI flew to South Korea to prepare and produce their debut single. They released their first single called "A" on November 3, 2021. It sold over 500,000 copies in its first week and reached the top in the "Oricon Weekly Single Ranking".[2] INI won the “Favorite Asian Artist Award” at “2021 MAMA (Mnet ASIAN MUSIC AWARDS)”, one of the largest music award ceremonies in Asia, held on Saturday, December 11.[3] Their debut single "Rocketeer" was nominated for "The Rookie of the Year Award" of "The Japan Record Award" (affiliated with TBS Television).[4]

It is managed by Lapone Entertainment, a joint company between Yoshimoto Kogyo and CJ ENM.
