you have my attention AND interest now

yas @ the leader being the same age as me. i'll be keeping an eye on them!!

So finally Moonkyu is here, I will have to keep an eye on this debut and hope they actually put something that appeal me.
About the members, the leader is such a cutie in that picture. The Sungwoon guy has some resemblance with BTS Jin. And look at that another Taehyun in the industry i see.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

i'm very intrigued! they seem to have a lot of potential after watching the videos in the previous post. i'm definitely keeping my eye out for them (:
and yaaaay, they're all born in 1993-1994 which makes half the group older than i am and the other half younger.

Are we sure these two aren't members of BTS?



Ex SM trainees? I'm rooting for them. Their looks resemble some of the popular boygroups right now so I can see them getting more attention than other nugu groups.

i KNEW sungwoon's (the top one) face looked familiar, but i couldn't place it cause i know bts, but i don't know know them like that

moonkyu is a famous ex sm trainee with the most history with SM, pretty sure he has his own fanbase set and ready to go (he did the traditional korean bow at the fanmeet, but i'm not sure if he's the only who did it or what's the story behind it yet)

I understand there's photographic evidence of the TaeminxMoonkyuxKai friendship, but how do people know the second part? Where do these profiles come from, the agency?

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

More than likely personal accounts along with evidence. For Sehun, they went to same school together, from the same company, with Amber, she thanked him in the Pinocchio album, even Kyuhyun mentioned him in Bonanama album thanks. It's little things, and then fans take note of and compile them

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Ah I see, thanks!

It's interesting to hear that he's bff with Niel, since it doesn't seem like Kai and Taemin are close with him....

The leader is really cute! Does he sing? I'll be looking out for Moonkyu once they debut. Coming from SM, I wonder why he didn't make it. And it says that Byungwoon is "inactive"? That means he's not in the group?

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

Junhyuk sings and composes. (Vol 5 in the previous post is sung & composed by him with moonkyu and hojung)

Still not sure what happened there, but I'm glad he's able to debut now.

At their fanmeet, Byungwoon didn't attend, and they said that he's ill, so for now, only 6 of them will be promoting, but he's still a part of the group.
