History
2017: Pre-debut
In mid-2016, American Idol and Spice Girls's creator Simon Fuller was in search of new talents for a group formed with members of diverse parts of the world, through the reality show Now United.
The show selected 14 people of different nationalities, counting on a different selection system, since it would not use TV programs. Around the world, the selection took place through digital platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and also watchers. Just in Brazil, the reality show also counted on the platform Queremos! (We want!) as one of the channels to integrate the selection.
