Hanbin—a Vietnamese trainee who made a name for himself on I-LAND, the survival show that formed ENHYPEN—was seen in public for the very first time since he left BELIFT LAB for Yuehua Entertainment.

His fans were starting to get worried, as Hanbin hadn’t posted anything on SNS for several months. However, their worry morphed into joy when a fan posted photos their friend took showing Hanbin hanging out with a bunch of other Yuehua Entertainment trainees, like Ahn Hyeongseop and Lee Euiwoong. Like Hanbin, they participated in a survival show (Produce 101 season two, which formed Wanna One) before debuting as a duo.

When his fans saw him with Hyeongseop and Euiwoong, they got excited. Yuehua Entertainment is reportedly planning to debut a new boy group in the near future, and they think the three boys will be part of it.

On June 8, the agency filed an application of patent for “TEMPEST” and “TPST,” which fans believe could have something to do with the new boy group. Furthermore, Hyeongseop and Euiwoong’s Yuehua Project fancafe will be shut down on August 17, fueling rumors that the two are preparing to debut in the new boy group alongside Hanbin.
