〖🅝⋮🅒〗NCT Japan and SM Rookies Rumors and Updates

hmmmm I don't know if this is the wedding from 2020 or Doyoung's musical

Shohei is actually a 96 liner! He's definitely going into NCT.

A new 96 liner for Kun, Ten, and Doyoung.

The rumors for Eunseok and Seunghan's ages were correct so we potentially have a new maknae on our hands.

Hopefully this issue of WWD Korea will give us more info.

Tall? DJ?

English translations for their WWD interviews

Shohei is in this thread

this is the most interesting part to me... when asked what he wants to be doing a year from now, Seunghan said he will be with Shohei and Eunseok so they definitely seem to be intending to debut in a group together.

More rumors about Shohei. One thing about Japanese trainees is there's always a ton of pre-debut pics because they aren't locked down the way Korean trainees tend to be.

He's rumored to have auditioned for SM 10 times. (Not sure who the dude in the video is, but it may be someone who knew him in Avex.)

He also trained in the same company as Kep1er's Hikaru.

There's also a rumor he worked a backup dancer for EXO for one of their Japanese concerts.

New photos and teasers!

It's worth noting that Eunseok and Seunghan seem to be in the same place and Shohei is not.

So far Seunghan is the only member who hasn't been dragged so these guys are gonna be huge.

Quote from the101

It’s interesting how Seunghan can look so totally different depending on the angle. Just from a visual perspective, I liked Shohei the best but Seunghan is a sneaky sleeper.

He kind of lowkey reminds me of Doyoung in that he can look very soft or very sharp just depending on angle.

If the story is true, then he's instantly in my soft spot zone.
