What time did 1d form?

One Direction (1D) was formed on July 23, 2010, during the seventh season of the British television show "The X Factor." The group was created when Simon Cowell, one of the show's judges, decided to combine five individual contestants—Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson—into a single band. They went on to achieve massive success and become one of the best-selling boy bands in history.
