KPOP DISCOVER's UP10TION note

UP10TION set out from TOP Media in September 2015 with 10 members. So, Dangerous, carried on the debut work Top Secret, runs a large formation and fast choreography at the same time, and one look at the stage shows how dense that early lineup was. They widened from a bright direction through to a hard performance direction and kept releasing through 2016 and 2017.

Three songs are easy to pick as ways in: So, Dangerous, White Night and Blue Rose. So, Dangerous confirms the energy of the 10-member lineup, White Night shows the switch to a harder stage direction, and Blue Rose moves on to the settled later concept. Lined up, the 3 join the debut to the mature period in a single line. For Japan there was also ID in 2017, a separate route to fans there.

In 2019, Wooseok and Jinhyuk taking part in Produce X 101 widened the routes in from outside the group considerably. The lineup changed after contracts ran out and after Boys Planet, and the 7 now active are Kuhn, Kogyeol, Bit-to, Sunyoul, Gyujin, Hwanhee and Xiao. Many people search a personal name and arrive at the group that way, which is one of its marks. So, Dangerous, then White Night, then Blue Rose covers the early energy, the stage direction and the later concept.

Editors' take So, Dangerous / White Night / Blue Rose — 3 songs run from the start as a 10-piece to the maturity of the later years, in a TOP Media seven-piece.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 139/ 210 groups

No. 139 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 66%)

  • 1Japanese releases
  • 1Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 2Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
