A few months later, more precisely in September 2020, a report with predictions from YG Plus revealed that the group had already started preparations to make the long-awaited debut. The revelation was followed by a financial report from Hana Financial released in November of the same year, saying that YG would introduce the girls in early 2021.
As early as 2021, several communication portals revealed that the agency would introduce its new group soon. In May, YG confirmed one of them, the OSEN article that pointed out that the new formation (without mentioning the name of the group) would debut in the second half of that year.
The group did not make their debut that year, so new rumors emerged indicating that after August 2022 the girls would finally make their debut.
