Omni_Tool #1
Scandalous ◇ The Trials of CoterieBy popular demand I present my fan account for my favorite boy group from South Korea! I guess I'll include some othr Circle Media things, but be warned: this is an OMNI account!
The inaugural post!
Facts about our boys Omni!
When Omni was getting ready to debut, there was a lot of talk about who would be part of Riot's little brother group.
A lot of fan assumed, correctly, that Produce 101 contestant Kaiden Woo would be part of the group. He gained quite a bit of popularity even though he didn't make the final lineup for Wannaone. There were also some other long standing trainees, and along with Kaiden, most assumed the lineup would be the following trainees:
Kim Daeho (97)
Kang Woosung (98)
Lee Hyukjin (00)
Park Ilwoo (99)
Im Dohyun (00)
Lee Jaeseok (00)
Seo Sihoo (01)
Obviously the first three didn't end up in the group, but up until about a month before the official debut, it was assumed the 8 mentioned would be the lineup. There is even practice videos of an unnamed song being practiced by all of them together. But then they finished introducing the group, including Gun as leader, and the three at the top weren't part of it. This including Daeho would had also participated in Produce though he ranked 29 and had little air time, but would have made sense to include him. Supposedly Woosung left the industry and went to his military service, but Hyukjin is an unknown at this time. He may have left to join another company or university.
Which, not gonna lie, is a shame since some of the predebut footage of Hyukjin with Jaeseok, Dohyun, and Sihoo is pretty cute. Plus their dance covers were amazing. A lot of the of those have been taken down, but if I find them I'll share. I'm also sad for Daeho leaving as a lot of people assumed he'd end up leader since the little bit of screentime there was of him showed he seemed pretty mature and nice.
But! Omni as we know it debuted with the lineup with Valkyrie! They really came into themselves musically after LIT with the release of A Song Written Easily.
Omni are a self-producing group with Gun and Ilwoo leading most of the song writing, and Kaiden leading their danceline to work on choreography.
I'm honestly hoping for a wolrd tour soon from them.

- He says he doesn't have a type, but just wants them to make him food.
