About the Group
King & Prince, originally Mr. King vs Mr. Prince was announced via a press conference on June 5th, 2015. The six members were split into two subgroups, Mr. King (Hirano Sho, Nagase Ren, and Takahashi Kaito) and Mr. Prince (Kishi Yuta, Jinguji Yuta, and Iwahasi Genki).
In January 2018 King & Prince’s debut was announced, with their debut single Cinderella Girl being released on May 23, 2018. The song was also used as the theme song for the drama Boys Over Flowers Season 2, which starred member Hirano Sho.
In November 2018, member Iwahashi Genki went on indefinite hiatus to focus on treatment for his panic disorder. He rejoined the group in February of 2019 but eventually left the group on March 31, 2021.
