A trainee showcase is an event JYP Entertainment holds to give the trainees, who are close to debuting, a chance to showcase their skills and perform in front of an audience.
JYPn is a temporary name for JYP's new girl group, which will be their first idol group in three years since the debut of ITZY in January 2019. The "n" in the group name has several meanings such as "now," "next," and "new."

This past March, JYP Entertainment was rumored to have applied for the trademark "SQU4D." And so after the blind package was launched, many people speculated that it will be the official name of the group.
JYPn will be the fastest-debuting girl group among JYP female groups so far. For reference, Wonder Girls and Miss A had three years and five months in between, while TWICE and ITZY had three years and three months.
Prior to BAE, four members of JYP's new girl group have been unveiled through different covers: Jiwoo, Jinni, Sullyoon, and Kyujin.

Each division under JYP Entertainment was initially one big creative department but the company decided to split them into teams for each JYP artist. This means every division operates separately and basically works as an independent agency with its own staff.
The company first made a division for TWICE and saw that it worked well, hence, they established more divisions for their other artists. This led to the JYP artists having different promotions.
