Discography
Emergency: Quantum Leap (2019)
X1 provides examples of the following tropes:
- Affectionate Nickname: After an incident where Eunsang repeatedly misread Wooseok saying "pretty" as various words including "priki," fans have referred to Eunsang as "priki" and "our priki boy."
- Animal Motif: Wooseok is often said to look like a cat, Yohan is a bunny due to his large front teeth, and Dohyon is a hamster because of his chubby cheeks.
- The Baby of the Bunch: Dohyon is not only the youngest member, he is two years younger than the next member in age, and ten years younger than the oldest member. Predictably, he gets babied a lot.
- Dongpyo is cute and short, so he also gets babied a lot.
- Badass Adorable: Yohan is very cute especially with his bunny teeth, but was competitive in taekwando.
- Big Brother Bully: Yohan is this to Dongpyo, constantly teasing him and babying him, much to Dongpyo's displeasure.
- Big Eater: Dohyon is constantly eating and eats a lot of food, due to the fact that he's only 15.
- Child Popstar: Dohyon was only 14 when X1 debuted.
- Comic Trio: Seungyoun, Hangyul, and Dohyon.
- Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: After auditioning for Produce X, Hyeongjun and Minhee receive the X Rank, which is implied and understood by all the trainees to mean they will be eliminated on the spot. In reality, they are sent to a special training center to learn basic skills and the next week join all the other trainees again.
- Family Business: Seungwoo's older sister is an ex-idol and actor.
- Yohan comes from a family of competitive taekwondo players, which made it difficult for him to tell them he wanted to quit and become a singer.
- Funny Background Event: While members were solemnly choosing X1's leader one by one, the rest of the members were messing around in the back.
- Hates Being Touched: Dongpyo hates it when the members baby him, mostly excepting Seungwoo.
- Hidden Depths: Junho. At the start of Produce X, he was called a robot for his expressionlessness and seeming aloofness. In truth, he is a goofy jokester who is just a little shy.
- Inelegant Blubbering: In Produce X 101, Minhee, Hyeongjun, and especially Dongpyo and Wooseok, all cried heavily when they made it into the final lineup. When Seungwoo was announced, Dongpyo cried a second time.
- Hyeongjun broke down under the stress of being the X Rank's leader.
- Large and in Charge: Seungwoo is the leader of the group and the tallest member.
- The Leader: Seungwoo was picked unanimously by the members to be the leader.
- Like a Son to Me: Seungwoo and Dongpyo developed a father-and-son relationship during Produce X.
- Lovable Jock: Yohan competed in taekwondo for 13 years, and is very friendly and instantly likable.
- The Napoleon: Wooseok, though not the shortest member, is still short by kpop standards and hates it being pointed out.
- Older Than They Look: Dongpyo is 5'5note and has a very babyish face, so many are surpised to learn that he's not the maknae.
- Prone to Tears: Hyeongjun is known to cry very easily.
- The Quiet One: Junho. Don't be fooled though; he can be as chaotic as the rest of the members.
- Singer-Songwriter: Seungyoun, aka WOODZ. After his time as a member of UNIQ, he began gaining fame as a producer, only to decide he missed the stage and enter Produce X.
- Spell My Name With An S: Before Dohyon's name was officially romanized, fans spelled it as Dohyun.
- Stage Names: Seungyoun is known as WOODZ when producing/composing and for solo activities.
- Teen Idol: Six out of eleven members are teenagers.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Hangyul and Wooseok are constantly bickering and roughhousing with each other.
- Younger Than They Look: Hangyul has a very mature face, so it's surprising to people to learn that he's only 20.
