Instead they replaced it with a practical explanation of "shining as brightly as LED whenever they perform" which was eventually referred to as a tribute to their role-model, Led Zeppelin. The word "Apple" in the band's name is supposed to represent their fresh image as idols and fresh music that they release,the name was changed later in August 18, 2015 as they stated to start as LedT from September 1, 2015. As of 2011, fans of LEDApple are officially known as "LEDAs".

On October 6, 2010, Led Apple performed their debut promotional single "Dash", which is a remake of a song originally sung by Baek Ji-young at the Busan International Film Festival and the music video was released the next day.〔 The band's single was released alongside their single album, ''Logic Egoism Delete''.〔 They later performed the promotional single on November 11, 2010 on Mnet's ''M! Countdown'' as their debut stage. On February 1, 2011, member I-OH announced his departure from the group on Twitter due to tuberculosis, however he did state that he would remain with the company.

Who Do You Think You Are''); Hyoseok, Jaehoon and Kyumin with Jaehoon becoming leader of the band. On June 13, 2011, the band released a comeback teaser for their mini-album and title track of the same name. However, the teaser was criticized for featuring the band in a club and drinking alcohol. Three members of Led Apple were minors at the time, and so the teaser was considered a bad influence towards youths. The band's first mini-album, ''Niga Mwonde'' and lead single of the same name were released on June 15, 2011 alongside two different music videos; a regular version and a drama version. However, the band faced another controversy after many internet communities claimed that Led Apple's single "Niga Mwonde" had plagiarized CN Blue's song, "Love". However, Starkim Entertainment later released a statement addressing the plagiarism issue, stating that both songs were composed by Lee Sang-ho which is why they sounded similar. ''Niga Mwonde'' peaked at number sixty-seven on the Gaon Chart. On July 19, 2011, Led Apple released their second promotional single from the mini-album ''Niga Mwonde'', "Birthday Killer". The song was released in an attempt to make anti-fans realise that their hate comments can cause idols to do extreme things out of their misery. The music video was praised for being "powerful" in bringing out a message by critics and fans alike. However the song was not a commercial success and didn't manage to peak within the top one-hundred on the Gaon Chart.〔 After ending their promotions for the ''Niga Mwonde'' mini-album, leader Jaehoon left the band citing personal reasons; no other information was disclosed. On October 28, 2011, the band announced a new member would be joining them for their upcoming single, Keon U who is well known as the son of famous composer, Park Kwang-hyun. Another new member, Hanbyul was also announced on November 3 as the new appointed leader of the group alongside teaser photos of the rest of the band, thus making them a six-member group. On November 7, the teaser for their next mini-album, ''CODA'' was released and it also revealed Led Apple's new sci-fi concept. An extended nine-minute version of the teaser was also released on November 9 and was dubbed the "drama teaser". The music video for their next single, "Eojjeoda Majuchin" ((朝鮮語:어쩌다 마주친); ''lit. Ran Into You By Chance'') was released on November 11 and it featured former SeeYa member, Nam Gyu-ri as a cyborg and love interest in the video.
