New boy band BAE173 will release its debut EP "Intersection: Spark" on Nov. 19, the band’s agency PocketDol Studio announced Friday.

The nine-member group includes Lee Han-gyul and Nam Do-hyon from boy band X1, the final group from the fourth season of cable channel Mnet’s 2019 audition program “Produce X 101."

J-min, Yoojun, Junseo, Muzin, Youngseo, Bit and Doha complete the BAE173 lineup.

The five-track album will include lead track “Crush on U.”

The agency introduced the group name as a combination of "BAE," which it says stands for "Before Anyone Else," the number 1, indicating perfection, and the lucky number 73.
