How did One Direction meet?

 

Answer:

They all auditioned as solos on The XFactor. All 5 made it to boot camp but judges said that they weren't strong enough individually so they made them into a group, which named One Direction (Harry's idea).The exact time One direction formed was July 23, 2010 at 8:22pm Also when they formed One Direction theyalso formed Little Mix, they were formed for the same reason as OneDirection
