History
2014: Dynamite
In January 2013, JS Entertainment recruited four members through auditions. In October of the same year, the agency recruited another member. The group was named by the media and fans as a "B-pop band" due to its influences in K-pop music and South Korean music groups, although the term "B-pop" had never been used by other artists.[1] The group spent two months in Seoul recording the "Dynamite" music video and took lessons with the choreographer of the hit song "Gangnam Style", Ju Sun Lee.
2015: disbandment
In 2015, the official breakup of Champs was announced by JS Entertainment in a letter that they would not continue with the group due to local problems.[2]
