N-Sonic debuted the 6 October 2011 with their EP we are super boys, the group at that time consisted of 5 members : J.Heart, Eunho, Jonguk, Bong Jun and Byul. Without great success in Korea, the group was very active abroad, mostly in Japan and China.

The 3 February 2012, N-Sonic made their first concert in Japan. The 16 February of the same year was announced their fandom name : Super Sonic. After a concert in Japan, members Eunho and Jonguk left the group the 25 February for personal reasons. It was later announced that N-Sonic will have 4 new members.
