The members include <strong>Nicolas Alves<\/strong>, 16; <strong>Cruz Lee-Ojo<\/strong>, 19; <strong>Hendrik Christoffersen<\/strong>, 19; <strong>John Fadare<\/strong>, 17; <strong>Josh Olliver<\/strong>, 17; <strong>Danny Bretherton<\/strong>, 16; and<strong> Se\u00e1n Hayden<\/strong>, 19.<\/p>\n<p>Their debut video, a live acoustic cover of NSYNC\u2019s \u201cBye Bye Bye,: dropped on YouTube this week. Fans immediately fell in love. \u201cI put off watching the show because what I feared has come true. I\u2019m obsessed. I love a boyband I\u2019m so sorry. Acc im not sorry. They all have my support x,\u201d wrote one viewer. Another added, \u201cI just know they\u2019re going to be BIG.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One fan shared, \u201cI cried at nearly every Netflix episode watching all of your journeys and can\u2019t wait to see you all go far! Will be a life long fan! Good luck boys!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Name<\/h2>\n<p>The band\u2019s name, December 10, comes from the documentary\u2019s release date. Some fans speculate that the name might be a subtle nod to One Direction (often abbreviated as 1D), similar to December 10\u2019s abbreviation, D10.<\/p>\n<p>Cowell told<em> The Sun<\/em>\u00a0that he has full faith in the boys\u2019 potential. \u201cAll I know is, is that if people like them as much as I like them \u2013 and I really, really do have a bond with these boys \u2013 then I will be so happy. And they\u2019re real, they\u2019re not privileged, you know, they have no leg up apart from this. And I was thinking, where would they be without this opportunity? One of them is still working in a fast food restaurant. They\u2019re just lovely, funny boys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his excitement, Cowell admitted he feels the pressure. \u201cWhen you\u2019re putting a band together it\u2019s like mining for diamonds. As much as I love my job on TV, I miss where I started, which is signing artists and working with bands. There is a massive opportunity. I am going to find a new boy band. But there is a huge risk. If this goes wrong it will be \u2018Simon Cowell has lost it\u2019.
