Previously, there were rumors in the industry that PLEDIS will debut a new boy group next year. Since the news broke, netizens have been speculating about who the members will be, causing quite a stir among the online community.

On the 21st, a Korean netizen uploaded several photos from Chinese Xiaohongshu users, and indicated that netizens had spotted members of a new group.

The netizen stated in the post, "This is an eyewitness account from yesterday. They are currently (presumably) shooting a music video in Belgium. They are a group of six, with members born in '03, '05, '05, '06, '06, and '07 respectively."

And explained to the members, "The one wearing the denim jacket is the team leader born in 2003, who has been a trainee for 6 to 7 years. Before PLEDIS was acquired by HYBE, he was probably already a PLEDIS trainee."

Netizens also pointed out that "the member with headphones around the neck is from China, probably born in 2005 or 2006, has been a trainee for over a year, and is currently attending Hanlim Arts High School."

A netizen continued, "The member on the right wearing the denim jacket is Han Ji-hoon (tentative translation), a former trainee of Big Hit, born in '06. He also spent time at YG and JYP, and he's an excellent dancer. He's likely the main dancer in the group."

Netizens who read the introduction of the members also exclaimed in admiration, saying, "Wow! So handsome," "Chinese members really seem to be PLEDIS's type," "Wonder if this group will also have members with long hair," "As expected, handsome men are all practicing in the basement," "Is this the first time HYBE is debuting Chinese members?" "The Chinese member looks so much like JUN from Seventeen," "Uh… another Chinese… I'm stepping back," "I don't find it impressive, doesn't have the trendy look," "Really have a thing for Chinese members…" "The Chinese member is the most good-looking," "Why does PLEDI do this when other HYBE groups don't need to cater to Chinese tastes?" "Now I really feel like they're about to debut!"
