In a new update, insiders from Weibo shared a photo of nine idol trainees who seemed to have been doing a dance cover of SNSD's "Gee." Although their faces were blurred, they ignited excitement as they already seemed like a group with their proportions and vibe complementing each other.
In still-cuts from what seems to be a filming studio, two members' faces were unveiled, and although they are still unnamed, Chinese and international fans can't hide their delight seeing the stunning beauty of the members.
