“Produce 101” contestant and I.B.I member Lee Soohyun will be a part of a new girl group!

On January 13, HYWY Entertainment stated, “We’ve recently finished signing an exclusive contract with Lee Soohyun. [She] is currently practicing hard in preparation for her debut in a girl group.”

HYWY Entertainment is a new agency that was formed by people with experience from various management agencies.

Lee Soohyun also relayed her thoughts, and said, “I’m happy to announce to our fans the news of my exclusive contract and girl group debut preparations. I’ll work hard to show good results.”

Many people are curious about Lee Soohyun’s girl group, its concept, and members. A source from HYWY Entertainment stated, “Members with good visuals and talent are preparing for their debut. They’ll debut in the first half of 2017 at the earliest.”

Lee Soohyun ranked 13th place in “Produce 101” and received lots of love from the audience. Afterwards, she was a part of the project girl group I.B.I and promoted with their single “Molae Molae.” She also appeared on various variety programs, including “God of Music 2” and “Hello I.B.I,” and is currently appearing as MC on Tooniverse.

for context: she, lee haein and seo hyerin competed representing ss entertainment, suhyun and haein sued for contract termination for various reasons and hyerin moved to star empire. they've been operating without an agency for a while (though affiliated with loen, due to ibi promotions)
i'm sad she and haein won't debut together :(

i thought she was actually a loen trainee and was so excited for her, haein and park soyeon

also civa/ibi>>>>>ioi

Yeah I assumed Loen had signed them for real? Or maybe they did but then HYWY had a better offer for her or she has personal connections to whoever formed it considering it's a 'newly formed agency'

When will I get park soyeon's debut, that's what's important to me anyway

I still remember OP having to painstakingly remind me of who half the P101 contestants were in one of the other posts.

Thankfully I do remember Lee Suhyun (I think) from the Monster cover and liking her hair (lol)

Wasn't she also supposed to debut in a group with Girl's Day's agency or was that just a rumour?

There's actually two girls with the same name! (The other one is frequently romanised as lee soohyeon) she's still practising with kang siwon

Haha, just when I thought I had everyone down, there's contestants with the same name?!! I'm going to give up now otherwise by the time I learn who all 101 girls were, the next series will probably start....
