Although no official name, concept, or debut date has been released, industry insiders and fans have already pieced together a likely lineup, featuring some familiar faces who didn\u2019t quite make it in other groups.<\/p>\n<p>One big name in the rumor mill is Youngseo, originally set to debut with ILLIT. She famously dropped out at the last minute, then mysteriously vanished from the spotlight. However, she was later spotted hanging out with YG trainees, sparking theories she\u2019d signed with THE BLACK LABEL (or YG for that matter). Though she didn\u2019t join MEOVV as expected, the buzz now points to her as part of this new co-ed group.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tblprojectpics\/status\/1930930131037565115\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THEBLACKLABEL&#39;s upcoming CO-ED(mix gender) group members<\/p>\n<p>LEE YOUNGSEO\ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf72005<br \/>(FORMER PREDEBUT ILLIT MEMBER)<\/p>\n<p>ANNIE MOON\ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf72002<br \/>(SAMSUNG CHAIRMAN&#39;S GRANDDAUGHTER)<\/p>\n<p>BAILEY SOK\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf72004<br \/>(WORLD FAMOUS DANCER)<\/p>\n<p>JO WOOCHAN\ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf72005<br \/>(EX CUBE-BIGHIT, TRAINEE A)<\/p>\n<p>LEE CHAEWON\ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf72002\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dP3FrkY88l\">pic.twitter.com\/dP3FrkY88l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; adp pics (@adprojectpics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/adprojectpics\/status\/1930930131037565115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Another hot name? <strong>Jo Woochan<\/strong>, a former CUBE and BIGHIT trainee best known from \u201cShow Me The Money 6\u201d and the pre-debut team Trainee A.
