What did Jo1 members do before Produce 101 Japan?

Japanese boys idol group that calls "JO1".

They became an idol group through a survival audition program "Produce 101 Japan". As people know, This program is a kind of Japanese version of "Produce 101" series. The program is from Korea though, this Japanese version is created by Korean and Japanese companies.

However, The most different thing is about participated trainees. The trainees in Korea basically have training and lessons from their agencies.
On the contrary, Japanese trainees don't belong to any talent agencies. The meaning is most of them have never had any experiences and lessons.

Some of them were idols or backup dancers before, but most of JO1 members lived like normal people.
