“Including Taeyong and Yuta, they are expected to debut around September and October.”

[ +283 / -12] To be honest, their visual do not even come close to other SM Entertainment’s groups such as TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee and EXO. They all look like some pretty boys;;

[ +211 / -6] They should kick out Taeyong. Scamming and stuff at an early age, you never know what he will do later.

[ +181 / -4] That scam artist from joonggonara (ebay) is still debuting..

[ +46 / -1] I’m really questioning whether they are really SM hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah Right after Lee Soo Man quits, they become so different hahahahahahahahaaha I really expected more visual since it is the next group up after EXO hahahahahaha but…?

[ +43 / -2] No so you’re saying that scam artist is making a debut?

[ +40 / 0] Why do they look like some Japanese idols?
