The K-Pop heroes recently dropped the music video for their single Flash and, safe to say, its an absolute bop.

The 11-member group are definitely the new kids on the block after being decided by public vote in the finale of Produce X 101 back in June.

However, that clearly hasnt slowed them down.

The guys recently voted for Seungwoo to become their leader, with all members except for the man himself choosing the Plan A Entertainment trainee.

Kim Yo Han said on V Live that he has always been our leader, while Son Dong Pyo added: I hope he will become a father to the 10 of us. But Im the youngest son that he cherishes the most.

Seungwoo himself voted for Cho Seung Youn as leader, saying: I think hed be a great help to everyone because hes an all-rounder whos good at singing, dancing, and rap, and I also think hed be a good mood maker.
