Fans even managed to brighten the photo to the extent that they tried to decipher some of the names of the trainees.

When the image was released, netizens couldn’t help but get excited. It seems like the trainees were being evaluated, and one user pointed out that while eight might be the number, the showcase could determine the lineup.

While many pointed out that it was unlikely that they would make all debut, others shared their excitement at the idea of another larger SM girl group similar to the Girls’ Generation.

Although those attending were not allowed to take photos or even their phones into the venue, netizens shared their experiences on social media.

The possibility of the new SM Entertainment girl group debuting was made even more likely after someone who had attended the showcase revealed that there were 21 trainees in total that performed at the event. It seems like these eight girls must be training together.

In particular, when the photos were initially revealed, many fans couldn’t get over how tall the trainees were. While many explained that it could’ve been due to how the photo was taken, one OP explained that all the trainees seemed “Tall.”

While many fans attending mentioned well-known trainee Na Haeun, it seems like any of the trainees could eventually debut and be part of SM Entertainment’s newest group.
