On November 27, BTS' management agency confirmed to debut a new boy group in the first half of 2019.
At that time, no details regarding the group, such as the number of the members, concept, age were unveiled.
Following the news, a couple of male trainees who are speculated to be the members of this newly-launching group began spreading online.
Rumors stated that four members are Korean, and one is a mixed-race member.
They commented, "Whoa! I can tell that they are super good-looking. I'm so excited for their debut!", "They really remind me of JUNGKOOK. I guess that is the 'Big Hit look', just like how there is the 'SM look'.", "Can I join the fan club already?", and so on.
With the worldwide success of BTS, Big Hit Entertainment has become one of the most successful management agencies in Korea.
As it is the first time for Big Hit Entertainment to launch a boy group after BTS in 2013, all eyes are on this new boy group.
