MODYSSEY released the music video for “HOOK (훜)” on Monday, April 13, marking the seven-member group’s official debut with its first single album. (youtube.com) The group’s official YouTube channel lists “Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony” as MODYSSEY’s first single album and shows the release time as 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time on April 13, 2026. The same channel had about 40,700 subscribers when the video went live. (youtube.com) Soompi’s rollout timeline shows the debut campaign began on March 19 with a scheduler, then moved through concept photos, a trailer film, a highlight medley, and two music video teasers before the full video arrived on April 13. (soompi.com) MODYSSEY enters the market with built-in survival-show recognition rather than a cold start. Soompi reported the group was formed through “Planet C: Home Race,” a “Boys II Planet” spin-off, under ONECEAD Entertainment, which it described as a new agency co-established by JYP China, CJ ENM, and Tencent Music Entertainment. (soompi.com) Mnet Plus identifies MODYSSEY as an active artist on its platform, and Wikipedia’s summary of “Boys II Planet” says the spin-off “Planet C: Home Race” premiered on December 6, 2025 and debuted a seven-member boy group named Modyssey. That gives the debut a direct link to one of K-pop’s established trainee-to-idol pipelines. (artist.mnetplus.world) (wikipedia.org) Fan-built profile databases list the seven members as Yichen, Hengyu, Rowan, Lynnlynn, Li Zihao, Suren, and Fan Zheyi, matching the individual “Personal ID” clips posted in the album rollout playlist on the group’s YouTube channel. (kprofiles.com) (youtube.com) The pre-debut push was not limited to teasers. The group’s channel also carried variety-style series including “JUST DO” and “AS WE ARE,” while M2 distributed “SAY SAY MODYSSEY” episodes in the days before launch. (youtube.com) Early trade and fan coverage treated “HOOK” as the formal handoff from audition program to commercial release. Allkpop’s launch-day report said the video was unveiled at 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time on April 13 and framed the debut around the group’s path through competitive audition shows. (allkpop.com) For now, the immediate test is simple: whether “HOOK” can convert survival-show viewers and teaser traffic into sustained audience growth after debut day. The group has already completed the part that every rookie act has to clear first — getting a finished single, a full music video, and a defined seven-member lineup into the market at once.
