*＊✿❀ Background/The Start ❀✿＊* 

Hydrangea is a boy group consisting of 9 boys: Chan, Hyungwon, Jinhwan, Zhengting, Yoshiyuki, Kohki, Yeosang, Felix and YangYang. But they weren't always 'Hydrangea' and didn't always have 7 members. Let's rewind a bit, shall we?

March 5th, 2016. The day the news of a new group was debuting. But, no one knew anything yet. As days came, it was revealed the group would consist of 7 boys: 5 Koreans, 1 Japanese and 1 Chinese. But still no name or debut date released...yet.

A few weeks later and the debut date was dropped. Excitement quickly filled the air with the news of the new group. Everyone wondering just who the boys were and what kind of group they would be. On May 3rd, news finally broke on the 7 members: Felix, Yeosang, Jinhwan, Hyungwon, Yoshiyuki, Zhengting and Chan. Although, no positions were revealed to the public yet. Just names and pictures.

On the other hand, the boys were spending hours everyday perfecting their dance for their big debut. Their lives consisting of eating, recording, doing lives and practicing, with a small portion of time set aside for hanging out with each other, as they're still teenage boys. But with the day getting closer, their determination only grew. Even then, with 7 members, every dance practice and recording, just felt...off.

With the group feeling like something was missing, YangYang and Kohki were added to the group. It also helped that the boys were persistent with adding another member(s) so Yoshiyuki and Zhengting had someone they could speak with in their native tongue. And now the group is completed with 9, with news dropping about the two new members only a few days later!! Plus the group's name: First Romance.

Soon late June rolled around and there was a countdown, along with daily lives still coming from the members. The boys occasionally did these lives in order to gain more attention, as well to let the public know about them. Debut day came and the boys were making their way up. Things were going well for them when suddenly February 2017 rolled around, and there was still no comeback. Yet, the boys still stayed positive and just continued practicing in hopes of hearing some news, until August of 2017 came.

The members had noticed the mistreatment of their maknae, and would always say something to their management. Though when seeing no improvement (actually things only worsening), Hyungwon, Jinhwan and Chan held a private discussion before a few days later holding another one, except this time with Zhengting, Yoshiyuki, Yeosang, Kohki and Felix joining. That day the 8 members came upon a mutual agreement to leave the company as a group.

Already having the majority, it was easy to convince YangYang the decision was what they truly wanted. A week later, with having enough of their makenae being mistreated (amongst other factors), the group came upon an agreement with their label and left.

For the next six months, there was no word of the boys' next project. Many assumed they had given up their dream, whereas others figured they went on an unofficial hiatus. Through SNS, the members continued to chat with fans, occasionally posting pictures and videos of them being together.
