Pre-debut activities and formation

On September 7, 2022, executives from ABS-CBN Corporation, MLD Entertainment, and Kamp Global signed a deal to debut a Filipino boy band in South Korea that will be trained and managed by the three companies.[1][2]

The members of the project boy band were determined through the survival competition series Dream Maker, which aired on A2Z and Kapamilya Channel from November 19, 2022 to February 12, 2023,[3][4] featuring 62 contestants competing to be part of the group.[5] At the conclusion of the show, Jeromy Batac, Marcus Cabais, Kyler Chua, Vinci Malizon, Reyster Yton, Kim Ng, and Winston Pineda were selected to form the lineup of Hori7on.[6][7][8]

The lineup of the group included several members who have held prior experience in the entertainment industry. Cabais started as a child actor, making his film debut in 2018, in Regal Films' My 2 Mommies, and later making appearances on It's Showtime[9] and Team Yey!,[10] before being part of a touring company of The Lion King musical, playing the role of young Simba from 2018 to 2020;[11] in 2017, Batac performed on Little Big Shots;[12] and in 2022, Ng competed on TV5's survival reality show, Top Class.[13]

The album and its lead single "Lucky" were released on March 2.[47][48] [49]To promote the album, Hori7on embarked on a mall tour across the Philippines in collaboration with SM Supermalls from March 15 to April 13.[50][51] The band released its second single album, Daytour 2, on August 13, which included "Sumayaw Sumunod", a cover of the 1978 song by the Boyfriends.[52] In support of Daytour and Daytour 2, the band held their second headlining concert Anchor High on November 3, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.[53]
