In March 2017, it was announced that Mnet, the same channel responsible for several notable survival shows including Sixteen and Produce 101, would be launching a new reality survival show titled Idol School to form a new girl group.[10] The show premiered on July 13 and ended on September 29, 2017, with Jisun, Hayoung, Saerom, Chaeyoung, Nagyung, Jiwon, Seoyeon, Jiheon and Gyuri as the nine members of Fromis. The final line-up was solely decided through live and online votes of viewers.[11][12][13] Pledis Entertainment, led by CEO Han Sung-soo, managed the group's training and debut.[14]

Fromis premiered its own reality program on October 19 titled Fromis' Room about continuing the path to debut. It followed the format of a simulcast, where it combined pre-recorded materials and replays of Facebook Live broadcasts in their dorm.[15] The group's name was later changed to Fromis 9 following the final episode of Fromis' Room on November 23, with the "9" meaning the nine students who graduated from Idol School.[9]
