history
Emergence
In March 2017, Mnet announced the broadcast of a new TV show called "Idol School". The concept of the show was reminiscent of that of a school in which the competitors were trained in other subjects in addition to singing and dance lessons. In addition, teams were formed that had to rehearse and perform different songs in competition against each other. Using a combined evaluation system by trainers and online voting, from the fourth episode onwards, several female competitors were removed from the last ranking positions from the show until the nine members of the new girl group were determined at the end of the eleventh episode: Roh Ji-sun, Song Ha-young , Lee Sae-rom, Lee Chae-young, Lee Na-gyung, Park Ji-won, Lee Seo-yeon, Baek Ji-heon and Jang Gyu-ri.
After the show ended, Han Sung-soo, CEO of Pledis Entertainment , became the producer of the new girl group and took on the further training of the group until their debut. The preparations were also filmed and broadcast weekly as “Fromis's Room” on Mnet and via Facebook Live.
On November 30, the group released the pre-release single Glass Shoes ( 유리 구두 ) . The day before, Fromis 9 performed at the Mnet Asian Music Awards , where she presented Glass Shoes live for the first time.
2018 – today: Debut with To.Heart

In the 2018 edition, 48 South Korean trainees and 48 Japanese idols from AKB 48 and their sister groups fought for a place in the new girl group. Gyuri dropped out on rank 25 shortly before the end of the show and did not become a member of the new girl group IZ * ONE .
