The group debuted on August 8, 2016, with their single Square One, which spawned their first number-one single in their home country, “Whistle.” The single also included “Boombayah,” their first number one on Billboard World Digital Songs chart, which set the record as the most-viewed debut music video by a Korean act. With the group’s commercial success in their first five months, they were hailed as the New Artist of the Year at the 31st Golden Disc Awards and the 26th Seoul Music Awards.
