History
=2017–2018: Pre-debut and formation=
Individual members of Oneus came out of various trainee programs. Seoho (then known as Gunmin), Keonhee, and Hwanwoong were trainees for RBW in the second season of Produce 101 during the first half of 2017, and Ravn and Seoho were trainees for RBW on the YG survival show Mix Nine during the second half of 2017. Leedo also participated in Mix Nine as an independent trainee, but did not pass the first audition.{{Cite web|url=https://www.vlive.tv/video/48155|title=단독선공개 김건학 ㅣ 개인연습생 ㅣ 30초 사전투표 영상 재생수 940 좋아요 1,818 1년 전|access-date=|author=|date=2017-11-14|last=|work=MIXNINE V|publisher=|language=|archive-date=January 13, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190113182329/https://www.vlive.tv/video/48155|url-status=live}}
