History

Pre-debut

The trio represented Brand New Music as a quartet alongside Lee Eun-sang in Produce X 101.[1] Following the show's finale, none of the members earned a spot in the consequent project group, X1. Kim Si-hun ranked 27th in the third elimination round overall, while Hong Seong-jun and Yun Jung-hwan placed 51st and 35th in the second elimination round, respectively.[2]

On October 2, 2019, the trio starred their own reality show named Boys Don't Cry, which was aired on Piki Pictures for four weeks.[3] The show displayed their preparation before debuting, where they had to decide a name for their future group and do a street performance.[4][5]

2019–present: Debut with Boys Da Capo and The Intersection series

On October 16, 2019, a teaser image of the trio was released, revealing "BDC" as the name of the group and their debut date.[6] About two weeks later, on October 29, BDC released their special single album Boys Da Capo with the lead single "Remember Me",[7] in which member Kim Si-hun participated in the choreography composition.[8] Then, on November 24, they held their first fan meeting titled "BDC 1st FAN MEETING: REMEMBER YOU" at Yonsei University's Centennial Hall.[9]

On September 23, 2020, BDC released their first EP The Intersection: Belief with "Shoot The Moon" serving as the lead single.[10][11] Despite being the second release of the group, this EP was considered as their official debut.[12]

On March 8, 2021, BDC released their second EP The Intersection: Discovery with "Moon Rider" serving as the lead single.[13][14] On May 9, they held an online fan meeting titled "2021 BDC ONLINE FANMEETING 'al Fine'" through the video platform FC Live.[15]

On June 30, 2021, BDC released their third EP The Intersection: Contact with "Moonlight" serving as the lead single.[16][17]

On August 10, 2021, BDC released the special single "Moon Walker".[18][19] The song, which was co-written by member Kim Sihun, was intended to be the finale or epilogue of "The Intersection" series.[20][21] It was recorded at the same time as the lead single from the previous EP.[22] On August 18, they released the single "Stop Now" which was produced by Bumkey as a part of the cyberbullying prevention campaign from the Blue Tree Foundation.[23] On October 1, they released their debut Japanese single "Moon Walker" which includes the Japanese version of "Moon Walker" and "Moon Rider" digitally.[24]
