Major entertaining companies keep teasing us with new idol groups, fans expectations are high. Some groups have more or less official information so stay tuned for upcoming updates.
Here is the list of 2018's boy groups to debut! Did you already decide to join one of those groups' fanclubs?
1- Stray Kids
JYP Entertainment is getting ready to debut the nine boys chosen from 'Stray Kids' survival show. TWICE was also created after the survival show 'SIXTEEN' of JYP and Mnet, that is why Stray Kids are called the male version of TWICE. The name of the group was chosen because they will show music that isn't tied to anything.
At first, it was planned to be a seven-member group, but seeing the popularity of the nine-member, JYP decided to debut Bang Chan, WooJin, Lee Know, ChangBin, HyunJin, Han, Felix, SeungMin, and I.N all together.
Their teaser 'Hellevator' already gathered much attention. Also in January, they had a pre-debut extended play (EP) named 'Mixtape'. JYP Entertainment is currently revealing more about Stray Kids through special episodes named ‘INTRO: I am NOT'.
