Anthonny, Haruto, Yuto and Takuto from cable network Mnet’s boy band audition program “Boys Planet” will form boy band TOZ and debut in Japan this fall.

“YY Entertainment signed a deal with Anthonny, Haruto, Yuto and Takuto, who participated in Mnet’s ‘Boys Planet,’” the agency said in a press release Monday.

“They are currently practicing aiming to debut in Japan within this fall.”

The agency added that the upcoming boy band will be promoting both in Japan and Korea in the future.

While the four trainees didn’t make it to the final project boy band ZeroBaseOne, they earned popularity for their proficient Korean skills and their charms, according to YY Entertainment.

YY Entertainment, a newborn agency, currently manages singers Bang Yong-guk from boy band B.A.P, actor Bae Na-ra, Lee Joo-ahn and more.
