INTO1 is an international boy band assembled in 2021 through the survival reality program Produce Camp 2021. Consisting of 11 members hailing from China, Germany, Japan, Thailand, and the US (Liu Yu, Santa, Rikimaru, Mika, Nine, Lin Mo, Bo Yuan, Zhang Jiayuan, Patrick, Zhou Keyu, and Liu Zhang), the group offered its first live performance during the show's finale on April 24, 2021, and performed at several festivals before releasing their debut EP, The Storm Center, in July of that year. Preceded by the single "Into the Fire," The Storm Center sold over 300,000 copies in China alone and was followed by a second extended play titled Go Further in December. In 2022, the promotional single "New Era, Winter Olympics," was used as the theme song to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics as the group released its third EP, Into the Clouds. During this time, the eleven-piece also contributed to the soundtrack of the film Forget Me Not Farm with the song "Accidentally Forget." The following year, INTO1 scored their first charting effort with the single "Grown Up," which reached Number 84 on China's Tencent Music chart.
