A-Peace (in Japanese, エーピース; in Korean, 에이피스), formerly known as Double B 21 (더블 비 투원) or Double B, is a Korean boyband consisting of South Korean singers and dancers. All members are Korean, although they work in Japan. The group contains 21 members, making it the largest K-pop boy band as of 2011.

The group is subdivided into three smaller groups: Lapis, Jade and Onyx (each with 7 members). The members were chosen and produced by Kim Kyungwook, known for working with groups such as H.O.T., Shinhwa and TVXQ. The name of their fan club is "Hana-One".

Pre-Debut
In 2009, members of A-Peace, DuHwan and WanChul were members of the group from XING (Crossing in New Genre) (Hangul: 씽) from XING Entertainment, along with some members of the X-5, U-KISS, B2ST and DGNA (The Boss), in which they promoted singles such as "In Your Hands", "My Girl", "The White of Winter" and "Memorize", and digital singles as "T Express" and "Hive-Five".

2010: Debut of Unit Sky of "Double B21" with "One"
The first line-up of A-Peace (at that time known as Double B21 or Double B) differs greatly from the current one. At the beginning of its formation, the group consisted of Kim WanChul, Min Jin Hong, Jeong Eun Ho, Kim Dae Gun, Im Young Gyun, Hwang Seok Hyun, Jung Man Soo, Im Ho Jun and Lee Ha Neul, containing only four subgroups (Sky, Earth, River and Burning), with only the Sky subgroup being revealed on August 25, 2010 with the Single "One". All were taken from training, the only members who were already known being Kim WanChul and Min Jin Hong.
