I just randomly found out about that today. Lapone Entertainment wich was originaly specificly created for Produce 101 Japan who is curently home of INI and JO1 who are the winner groups of the two seasons Produce 101 Japan is having a trainee-group right now. As it looks like on their website, Lapone is not only having male trainees right now but they also are searching for people that would aply for a girlgroup.
The trainees under Lapone's trainee group are curently called "Lapone Boys" and obvisiously if girls are going to aply it will be called "Lapone Girls", but they don't have female trainees now or at least nothing was revealed at the moment.
Lapone's trainee boygroup was officialy revealed in December as it looks like because this is the date where they started to be on Youtube and Twitter (Probably Instagram too, but I didn't checked that yet).
