Who is TOO?
- TOO (Ten Oriented Orchestra) is a ten-member boy group currently managed by N.CH Entertainment! They were formed off of a survival show called To Be World Klass which used the unique "absolute standard" grading system rather than "relative standard." This means that twenty trainees were judged each mission based on a "standard score," and whoever passed that score was through! Trainees were given three strikes before being eliminated from the live show.
- Final members were chosen through: 1) Top 3 cumulative fan votes, 2) Top 3 expert evalutions, 3) Top 4 live finale voting
- Now that you know the basics, let's get started on the invididual members!

He might have a great body, but don't let that fool you. Donggeun is actually one of the scaredy cat members and is easily startled.

Minsu

Name: Kim Minsu
Stage Name: Minsu
Birthday: March 20, 2000
Position: Dancer, Vocalist
Minsu might not look it with his short(er) stature and round(er) face, but he's a powerful dancer as well as a sweet voice that is a great opener for songs. Minsu is also one of the "piggies" of TOO, often professing his love for eating and non-stop snacking when there's food around. He's energetic and charismatic on-stage while being a playful and cheerful vitamin for TOO off-stage. He took his spot in TOO from live finale votes.

Jaeyun

Name: Lee Jaeyun
Stage Name: Jaeyun
Birthday: August 16, 2000
Position: Leader, Vocalist
As the leader of group, Jaeyun holds a lot of responsibility! He was voted to be leader by 6/10 TOO members who felt that he would be the best leader who is able to support them, take charge, and also care for them. Jaeyun has powerful vocals that can hit high notes without breaking a sweat, and he can effortlessly switch between a cleaner style to a rougher and grittier tone. He wasn't part of the original lineup, but after a former TOO member left because of scandal, he took his place as the 4th highest ranked live finale vote.

J.You

Name: Kim Jeyou
Stage Name: J.You
Birthday: November 2, 2000
Position: Rapper, Vocal
J.You is something special, let's just say that. He's a never-ending ball of energy who does the goofiest things without caring to see if you follow along or not. That makes sense, since his rap is known for being incredibly fast-paced with clear enunciation and tone. He can rap about following his dreams or about sweet potatoes - take your pick, J.You can do both! He placed first overall through cumulative votes.

Kyungho

Name: Jang Kyungho
Stage Name: Kyungho
Birthday: May 7, 2001
Position: Dancer, Vocalist
Kyungho is an incredibly gifted dancer known for his control and power. He has a rivalry with Chan as the two "dance aces" of TOO, despite the fact that he only started learning dance a few years ago. However, because of his determination and hardwork, he was pointed out by many judges, including Ariel from dance group GRV, on World Klass as one of the best dancers. He finished as one of the trainees selected to be part of TOO from expert evaluation.

Jerome

Name: Oh Sungmin
Stage Name: Jerome
Birthday: August 25, 2001
Position: Vocalist
Look at that face. Now let's all say, "awwwww" together. Jerome is the sweetheart of TOO. Soft-spoken and kind, he gives off a warm energy that draws all the members to him. Much like his face, Jerome has a very sweet and warm-toned voice that compliments Donggeun's more powerful tones. He's also good at entertaining himself when he gets lonely, by playing cat's cradle or other individual games. Jerome finished as part of TOO from live finale votes.

Woonggi

Name: Cha Woonggi
Stage Name: Woonggi
Birthday: April 23, 2002
Position: Vocalist, Maknae
You've heard of Lee Daehwi. You've heard of Son Dongpyo and Song Hyeungjun. Now get ready for Cha Woonggi, the next in line of youngsters who love dancing to girl group songs. Woonggi's self-proclaimed hobby is finding lesser known girl groups and learning their choreo to bust out at anytime, anywhere. He was noted for his incredible energy as well as his charm on stage. He tied Chan for first place in expert evaluation and became a member of TOO.

Those are all the official members of TOO! If you want a tl;dr version of everything I just painstakingly wrote out, you can check out their official introduction film (which I highly recommend, if only to enjoy the ridiculous captions):
TOO officially debuted on March 30 with the song 'Magnolia' and will competing as a contestant on 'Road to Kingdom.' Although they haven't spent much time in the greater K-pop sphere, the boys have proven themselves through their debut survival show and are more than ready to show what they're made of! I hope that this post was helpful and that a lot of you decide to give TOO a shot!
