Most K-pop groups change concepts from album to album. P1Harmony have spent six years telling one story. They started as kids who sensed something was wrong with the world, became the heroes who fixed it, then sang about how lonely being a hero felt, went on strike, and came back. On November 6, 2026, their 10th mini album, BLOW UP, sends that hero on a final mission.

That makes now a good time to start. This guide covers who the six members are, how the story fits together, the songs to try first and the official videos worth your time.

Who are P1Harmony?

P1Harmony (피원하모니) are a six-member boy group from FNC Entertainment. They debuted on October 28, 2020, with their first mini album, DISHARMONY : STAND OUT. FNC: P1Harmony profile

The name explains the idea. FNC’s description of the debut video says the name combines Plus, the number 1 and Harmony. In FNC’s English translation, it describes “children with unlimited potential to create various harmonies with ‘Team’ and ‘One’ added.”

The debut title track was SIREN. FNC called it the song that opened “P1Harmony’s growth narrative struggling to find harmony in a twisted world.” In the video, the members sound a warning to the world, and FNC says that moment announces “the emergence of a new hero.” Keep that word in mind. It comes back on almost every album since.

Meet the six members

FNC’s profile lists the members with their birth dates, in this order. THEO is the oldest and JONGSEOB the youngest.

Every card opens a solo video from the official P1Harmony YouTube channel. FNC’s profile doesn’t list positions, so we haven’t added them.

What the album pages do show is how much of the music the members write. On the last three Korean mini albums, FNC credits INTAK and JONGSEOB with lyrics on every song. JIUNG writes lyrics too, and has composing credits, including Flashy on DUH!. KEEHO composed Pretty Boy and It’s Alright, and FNC says he helped plan the concept of SAD SONG from the start.

The story so far

FNC describes P1Harmony’s albums as one connected story. The first six mini albums came in two series, DISHARMONY and HARMONY. In FNC’s words, through them the group achieved “a perfect harmony and balance between +WORLD (a metaverse world) and REAL WORLD (real world).”

Series Releases (dates from FNC’s profile)
DISHARMONY STAND OUT (October 28, 2020), BREAK OUT (April 20, 2021), FIND OUT (January 3, 2022)
HARMONY ZERO IN (July 20, 2022), SET IN (November 30, 2022), ALL IN (June 8, 2023)

The title tracks from that stretch are SIREN, Scared, Do It Like This, Doom Du Doom, Back Down and JUMP. All six videos are in the table further down.

Then came the first full album. 때깔 (Killin’ It) was released on February 5, 2024. FNC’s English description calls it the album where P1Harmony, “who finally completed their harmonious world,” prove themselves as “hidden HEROES (NEW KIDS) and protagonists facing the world.” It has ten songs, and FNC says the members worked on all of them.

Our take: You don’t need to follow the whole storyline to enjoy the songs. But knowing that “hero” is the thread makes the newer albums much easier to read.

The hero chapters

Since the full album, each mini album has added one chapter to the hero story. Read in order, they work like episodes.

SAD SONG (September 20, 2024). After saving the world, the hero feels empty. FNC says the title track sings about “the emptiness and loneliness that came to P1Harmony, who became a HERO after saving the world and restoring peace.” The album also has WASP, the group’s first unit song, by INTAK and JONGSEOB.

DUH! (May 8, 2025). The hero goes on strike. FNC describes a hero “who refuses to be taken for granted,” asking, “You really don’t need us?” Our DUH! album guide covers all six songs.

UNIQUE (March 12, 2026). The hero comes back. FNC says the album follows the group, “who had declared a strike, as they return to their roles as heroes.” Its title track is built on Brazilian funk. Our UNIQUE album guide goes through it track by track.

BLOW UP (November 6, 2026). The last mission. FNC’s pre-order notice says P1Harmony return as heroes to complete the journey they have followed since debut. The trailer, FINAL MISSION COMPLETE, went up on October 20.

Songs in English

P1Harmony also release music made for English-speaking listeners. FNC’s profile lists three U.S. singles: English versions of Do It Like This (2022), JUMP (2023) and 때깔 (Killin’ It) (2024). There are also collaborations with Pink Sweat$ (Gotta Get Back), New Hope Club (Super Chic) and producer C. “Tricky” Stewart (Fall In Love Again).

On September 26, 2025, they released their first English album, EX. FNC’s English description says it is “based on the concept of a quirky ‘Game Lovers Club,’” and that the members’ experiences of love are told “through the lens of digital games.” It has five tracks, ending with a Spanish version of the title song, and FNC says it is the first album where the members are credited as creative producers.

FNC’s page for EX also notes that the group had reached the upper part of the Billboard 200 with four releases in a row before it. FNC: EX

On stage

Touring is a big part of the P1Harmony story. FNC’s profile lists:

Solo stages are a highlight of these concerts. KEEHO’s and THEO’s member-card videos both come from the 2026 encore concert. Fan meetings have their own concept names too. The 2026 one was called P1uspace H : Horror Haven.
