The group was first hinted at in September 2022 through leaked schedules referencing an unnamed girl group.
Later, SM Ent's training unit fueled speculation by releasing silhouette photos of eight trainees. The following month, a showcase introduced potential members, accompanied by posts of unclear trainee images.
