Who or Which

Hi! Is the below correct? Thanks, Fulvio

1. The popular boy band which has 9 members will be going on a world tour next year.

"which" rather than "who" is correct, but, as you've written it, "which has 9 members" is defining -- in other words, it tells us which boy band is meant. Almost certainly you want this instead: The popular boy band, which has nine members, will be going on a world tour next year. With the commas, "which has nine members" is additional information.
