trigger warning : drunk driving and subsequent arrest
back2u , typically stylized as BACK2U , is a five–membered boy group formed and managed by seventh heaven. following the twelve episode stretch of reality survival show r u the one? , the group made their debut with the extended play " crossroads " , with leader and main rapper yuanting , main vocalist kaita , lead vocalist and visual sangwoo , vocalist taein , vocalist miggy , and lead rapper and maknae hansol in april of 2016. kaita departed from the group in 2018 after being arrested for driving under the influence , and sangwoo assumed his role of main vocalist and taein was switched to lead vocalist.
despite being a promising group , with high quality music and sufficient promotions , back2u just never found the outstanding success that their labelmates have seemed to achieve with ease. although their releases would occasionally resonate with the public and chart well , the group itself never caught on , with only sangwoo being deemed popular. nevertheless , they did manage to earn a tightknit and dedicated fanbase that still support them to this day and all of the members are extremely close.
with the expiration of their contracts in 2023 , only two of the back2u members chose to remained signed to seventh heaven— sangwoo and taein— while the others chose to focus on their solo careers elsewhere. they've subsequently halted group activities , but swear to fans that this isn't the end and they'll eventually have a comeback.
