LAZ1

LAZ1 (Thai: ลาซวัน) was a Thai boy band under One Music, a subsidiary of GMM Grammy. All of the band members are winners from the show Laz Icon, Icon Pop Top Debut, who have been signed as artists under One 31 under Exact-Scenario Company Limited, a subsidiary of The One Enterprise. They are considered a sub-unit of the idol group Day One, which is a group of new artists from One 31, more than 30 people.^[1]

LAZ1 originated from the competition program Laz Icon Icon Pop Top Debut, which was a collaboration between One 31 and Lazada between October 9, 2021 – January 9, 2022. It brought together over 35 trainees from various agencies to select 5 winners from votes by the program's viewers.

Before their debut, One Music launched a special project, "LAZ iCON Road to Debut," to thank the five members for their continued support. The project included the release of two special songs: "Rak Diao" (from the sitcom Rak Diao) by Lazy Loxie, which was re-sung, and "LAST LOVE," a special song that was first performed on the final round of LAZ iCON.^[2] Including joining in the sitcom "Rak Diao" and debuting as a sub-unit of the idol group "Day One" through the show "ONE Sanan Jor..Ma Naen Naen" on March 12, 2022.

On March 21, 2022, One Music officially announced the group's name as "LAZ1" and gave fans the opportunity to participate in naming the group's fan club.^[3] On the following day (March 22), there was a live broadcast from One 31's newsroom in the GMM Studio building for the first time via social networks under the name LAZ1 LIVE 1ST NIGHT TO MEET YOU. The fan club name was announced as "LAZER" (laser), which comes from the word LASER, which means a beam of light that passes through until it becomes one light, similar to each drama's fan club that supports and votes for their own trainees until there are 5 winners in the competition. Another meaning comes from the words LAZ and -er, which together mean the creator or creator of LAZ1. The band's official colors are black and blue.^[4]

Later on March 27, One Music announced the band's official debut stage under the name CAN WE BE YOUR LAZ1, with the official debut stage scheduled for April 7, 2022, at CentralWorld Square, CentralWorld shopping center. On the same day, GMM Grammy will also release their official debut single and music video simultaneously.
