LeDeux (Korean: 르 듀, RR: Leu Dyu) is a South Korean co-ed group that recently debuted under Diamond Soul Factory. The group is composed of 4 members: Eun, Gin, Lua and Lix.
The group made their official debut on December 13, 2023, with the EP "Ring The Alarm", featuring the mononymous title song "Ring The Alarm". Their official fandom name was released to be "LesPremiers", and their official colors are vivid red and faded silver.
They are DSF's first co-ed group since the company was established.

Pre-debut
Three out of four members were known faces to the public prior to debuting with LeDeux. The only one that is somewhat of a wild card is Ven (birth name Park Seonghwa), who was scouted while teaching dance lessons in a small private dance studio.
The oldest and youngest members Eun and Lix (Kwon Eunbi and Felix Lee) were popular for their modeling gigs and many advertisement campaigns.
Lastly, but definitely not by merit, member Lua (Moon Sua), is notoriously known as the permanent trainee. She had been part of DSF's roster for many years, even releasing songs under their CARAT XY brand, taking part in in-house survival shows, promotional content and penning a hefty chunk of songs, later released by other groups or performers. She was most known as a songwriter and producer, and with people thinking she had ditched training to be an idol, it came as a shock to see her competing in the Mnet survival show "Produce 999". She was an instant favourite of the audience, consistently securing high placements and showing great skills, only to be left just short of the winning debut lineup right at the final episode. People were outraged, but not long enough after that episode aired, DSF began teasing their new group LeDeux, and the release of Lua's teaser picture caused record-breaking results and generated buzz.
Career
December 13, 2023: Debut
December 13, 2023 marked the official debut of the co-ed group LeDeux, notably the first co-ed group under Diamond Soul Factory since its establishment and one of the very few groups in k-pop to employ the risky co-ed concept. The group debuted with 4 members (Eun, Ven, Lua, and Lix), with their debut EP "Ring The Alarm", which featured title tracks "Ring The Alarm" and "Oh Nana", as well as the b-side "Into You". The song was written by members Lua and Lix with the help of BENJMN while ex-trainee-turned-in-house-producer Shin Ryujin lent a hand to Lix and BENJMN in producing it. "Ring the Alarm" is a Moombahton song with elements of K-pop. An official music video for the song was released on the same day as the release.
Awards and achievements
At the 2024 Lunar Festival Awards, LeDeux and certain members were nominated in various categories, and won awards in the following ones: Fans Choice Award and Next Generation Star.
Members of LeDeux participated in several special stages of the Lunar Festival - Ven and Lix were joined on stage by labelmates from Janus and Royal Flush Hanbin, Yeosang, Wooyoung, and ACE to perform a dance cover of Shinhwa's hit "Hey, come on!" and Eun had a special stage cover of Jessica Jung's Lilac, along with Yuqi of DIA and two more idols.
LeDeux also performed a solo stage of their own - causing a ruckus when they performed a remix of their track Oh NaNa as an intro, followed by their debut single Ring The Alarm.
