We all have heard the rumors of groups in the making, which some are set to debut in 2022! As of now, we are sure of two groups that have been actively posting on their social media accounts.
&AUDITION Boys
The four confirmed members of the group are from the survival show I-Land that formed the boy group Enhypen.

Although we are still unsure if this is the official name of the group as the label is still recruiting new members to join this group through an audition program.
Even so, these four members have been posting pictures and interacting with fans through their Twitter account.
During the Weverse Con, which featured many other Hybe artists, a short trailer of the &AUDITION Boys was played which left fans eager to know if that was a teaser to their debut.
Trainee A
As of now, 6 members are revealed as members of Trainee A. The boys are still in the training process under the label.
The members are Leo, Sangwon, Jihoon, James, JJ, and Inhyuk. Junil who was a former member of the group left the team with undisclosed personal reasons.
However, they have already garnered many fans as they actively post on their TikTok account.

Previously, the boys shot vlogs as a way to communicate with fans through their YouTube account.
The group even has a fandom name called Aeon.
KOZ Boygroup Global Audition
Hybe’s Sub Label KOZ Entertainment was founded by rapper Zico. The label only has two artists signed, Zico and DVWN.
