A tripleS member has been linked as being one of Source Music's trainees for the original debut team of NewJeans.
During a live stream earlier this year, tripleS member Gong Yubin held a live stream. There, she revealed she was a former trainee under Source Music. She revealed she trained there for around 7-8 months before signing with MODHAUS.
Yubin trained with NewJeans at Source Music and described her difficulties: “I cried almost everyday and my mental health was not good. Therefore I lost my willpower a lot.”

She spoke about the difficulties she experienced as a trainee under Source Music, and how she almost cried every day. She added that her mental health was bad and she lost her willpower often.
However, due to the hardships she experienced, her "inner self" became stronger, and she gained a stronger mentality. Now, she cries less and has regained her willpower. Now that she is under MODHAUS, Gong Yubin reveals she has become more earnest and continues to chase after her dreams passionately.
It didn't take long for netizens to discover a photo of NewJeans's original eight-member debut team. Starting from the left side of the photo below, we see Haerin, Hanni, and Hyein. The fourth person, whose face is covered by her smartphone, is rumored to be Yongseo, a pre-debut member of ILLIT.
The fifth member is Gong Yubin, and the sixth member is Ryu Han Bi. The latter was previously signed under ADOR and was supposed to debut as the maknae of NewJeans, but left before their debut. She was previously active as a child actress. Next to her are Minji and Hanni.
