Pre-debut

Three out of four members were known faces to the public prior to debuting with LeDeux.
The oldest and youngest members Eun and Lix (Kwon Eunbi and Felix Lee) were popular for their modeling gigs and many advertisement campaigns.
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. 

October 31, 2024: Comeback with "APEGO"

Exactly on Halloween 2024, DSF released the first comeback of the co-ed group with their own first full album. The release, titled "APEGO", featured the title track "You In Me", while the digital single "Don't Recall" co-created with the trainees from the DSF-centered show 9Lives, served as b-side. Another notable addition was the intro track "Tell My Momma", also released in full with an MV before the album was dropped, as well as two unit tracks, two more versions of "Don't Recall" (including an English ver. and Live Recording ver. from 9Lives), and two remixes of the debut tracks "Ring The Alarm" and "Oh NaNa".

Title track "You In Me" was written, composed, and produced by members Lua and Gin, the choreography was left at the hand of labelmate Jung Wooyoung of Janus. The song was described by Billboard's Tamar Herman, as a smooth EDM track containing elements of trap and dancehall, adding that the lyrics were about the desperation of love. The music video features members EUN and GIN acting as a lowlife couple acting as a foil to the classy pair of members LUA and LIX. The storyline unfolds, revealing that the women's unhealthy passion for their partners has created a shocking, Faulkner-esque situation, where each of the women is embracing not lovers but two corpses. Billboard described the video as "haunting", taking the edgy, obsessive nature of its lyrics. A supplement performance video for "Trust Me" was released, featuring an unreleased group version of the song, serving as a prequel film to the "You In Me" music video.

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 - GIN 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 Natty 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.
