7 Profile of Trainee Member A, the New K-Pop Idol Candidate Produced by Big Hit Music that Starts to Be Revealed

Kapanlagi.com - Until now, Big Hit Music, formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment, still has two boy groups under its wing, namely BTS and TXT. Based on the business plan revealed by HYBE, Big Hit Music plans to debut a new K-Pop idol, specifically a boy group, in 2022.

This plan gradually unfolds through the presence of Trainee A. As known since last year, Trainee A's YouTube account has attracted netizens' attention, as it features videos of young people practicing vocals, rap, dance, and even producing their own music in the old building of Big Hit Entertainment.

Netizens then believed that they were Big Hit trainees. This belief became even clearer after the trainees recorded several times in HYBE's new building. At the beginning of this year, new facts were revealed.

Through a latest video titled 'Can we debut...? [A Road] EP. 1', netizens were shown seven trainees with exceptional talent who were selected in the debut line-up. From here, netizens then believed that Big Hit wants to invite them to follow every process that Trainee A must go through before actually debuting as a new boy group.

Interestingly, instead of being introduced by the agency, these Trainee A members introduce themselves to the public through alternating vlogs. Apparently, they are not ordinary individuals. To satisfy your curiosity, here is the latest profile of the seventh Trainee A member that has started to be revealed to the public.

Among the members of Trainee A, Sangwon is one of the longest-serving trainees, since 2016. He attends Hanlim Multi Arts School and is known to be close to Jay and Heeseung of ENHYPEN. The three of them were even known to have vacationed together in Brunei Darussalam while they were trainees.
