The group consists of seven members: Minwook, Jingxiang, Yeojun, Sungmin, Seungho, Kenshin, and Kyoungbae. They debuted on April 2, 2025, with the extended play (EP) Eternalt.

1. History

1.1. Formation through Project 7 and other activities

Close Your Eyes was formed through JTBC's reality competition series Project 7, which aired from October 18 to December 27, 2024. The show brought 98 contestants from around the world, primarily in South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Ukraine, the United States, and Australia, to compete and to debut in a multinational boy group.[24] Out of a pool of 200 contestants, only the top seven would make the final lineup.[25] All members were announced in the finale episode, which was broadcast live on December 27, and they'll be active for three years after debut under Uncore, a new label which jointly formed by SLL and YG Plus.[26]

Before appearing on the program, several members had already been active in the entertainment industry. Jeon Min-wook made his debut in the PocketDol Studio boy group BAE173 on November 19, 2020.[27][28] In 2021, Jang Yeo-jun participated in the MBC survival show Extreme Debut: Wild Idol but was eliminated in the third episode.[29] In 2023, Ma Jingxiang and Yeojun took part in the Mnet reality competition show Boys Planet. Yeojun was eliminated in the fifth episode after ranking 62nd. Subsequently, Ma Jingxiang ranked at 30th place and was eliminated in the eighth episode.[30]

On December 3, the 39th Golden Disc Awards, which took place on January 4–5, 2025, at Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka announced that the 7 members chosen through Project 7 would be part of the show line-up and would perform on the first day of the award show. They performed "Time After Time", one of the original songs from Project 7.[31]
