After the success of Produce 101, Mnet was inspired to form another girl group from a survival show -- this time, the group would last for more than just a few years. Thus, in 2017, Idol School was made. With over 41 participants in the show, it was slowly whittled down to the final 9 contestants that made it into the group we see today. Originally named just "fromis_", they changed it to add on 9 at the end.
Debuting under Off The Record Entertainment, a label co-managed by both MMO Entertainment and CJ ENM, they released three EPs and three single albums. It's worth noting that their original contract contract lasted for five years, ending on 2022. Due to the demolishment of the label, they were promptly moved to Pledis Entertainment. All but Gyuri signed a contract extension with Pledis for a few more undisclosed amount of years.

to:
* BeYourself: This is the main theme of Unlock My World, the themes especially obvious in some of their teaser pictures and "In The Mirror".
---> "I don't need to be perfect."
* BookEnds: The "#menow" music video starts with Saerom watching an airplane flying and ends with an airplane flying over them.
* CelebrityResemblance: Gyuri is often said to look similar toMusic/Blackpink Jisoo.Blackpink's Jisoo.
* CurseCutShort: Numerous times through "Wishlist", they cut themselves off before finishing their sentence.
---> "I'm not for you, so I don't give a--"
* CallBack: They did a fun one for "Fun!" when they sang it in the "Stay This Way" bridge.
---> '''Fun!:''' "Come on girls, get on the floor! Fromis get set ready show."
---> '''Stay This Way:''' "Get on the floor and show me some more!"
* ConceptVideo: They got a lot of ones, but the most remarkable is "Fun!" where they did various commercial parodies in the music video.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: For their first two mini albums, they had an SpokenWord album intro which they promptly dropped for their future mini albums afterwards.
* FunWithAcronyms: "DM" stands for 'Doesn't Matter', which confused many people who are used to it standing for 'Direct Message'.
* FairytaleMotifs: This is the main lyrical motif of "Glass Shoes", which uses the story of Cinderella.
---> "It’s past 12 o’clock and I have to go back."
* HairFlip: In some performances, the intro of "DM" choreograph has the girls doing this instead of taking off their hairtie.

** In Unlock My World, one might be still reeling from the intense climax of "Attitude" only to be hit by the midtempo title track "#menow". On the same album, one might be surprised by "Bring It On" being between two equally intense songs "Prom Night" and "What I Want".
** On From Our Memento Box, the emotional ballad "Blind Letter" is followed up by a fun, chill song "Cheese".
* ShoutOut: In "Fun!", they had an amusing line regarding Ariana Grande.
---> "In my imagination I’m Ariana Grande, but someone might say “What’s wrong with her?”"
* TruckDriversGearChange: For the final chorus of "Stay This Way".
