Established in July 2017,[1] the sub-unit consists of two members: Block B's main vocalist Taeil, and the vocalist and dancer U-Kwon. The sub-unit, which is primarily active in Japan, debuted their first mini album, entitled T2U, on September 26, 2018.[2][3]
History
T2U first toured Japan in August and September 2017, with seven shows in Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Saitama, Sendai, and Tokyo.[4][5] The sub-unit toured Japan again in May 2018, performing in Saitama, Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo,[6][7] and selling out all shows.[8] Additional shows were scheduled for September 2018 in Osaka and Tokyo.[9][10][11]
The first T2U singles were two songs included on Block B's Japanese album, Block B The Best, which was released in June 2018.[12][13] The following month, it was announced that T2U would release the first mini-album under the subunit's name on September 26, 2018. The album included the song "Ocean" as well as solo songs.[14][15][16]
