History

Pre-debut and NEOZ School

In May 2016, the four members participated as "NEOZ Band" on the Mnet reality survival show d.o.b. (dance or band), competing against other trainees in "NEOZ Dance" for the chance to debut.[1] In the final episode on June 29, 2016, "NEOZ Band" eventually lost to "NEOZ Dance" who won the public voting and debuted as SF9.

In May 2017, FNC Entertainment announced that the four members would debut as Honeyst (a combination of the words "Honey" and "Artist") and would pursue an acoustic vibe.[2]
