The trainees associated with Teddy's THEBLACKLABEL are causing quite a buzz in online communities.

Recent photos of these trainees have sparked speculation that they might be the upcoming members of producer Teddy's highly-anticipated new girl group.

The hints of this new project, combined with the trainees' captivating visuals, have raised expectations among fans.

One notable trainee is Ella Gross, the model famously known as "Little Jennie (of BLACKPINK)." Netizens are particularly intrigued by her presence.

Among the trainees, there's also renowned dancer Bailey Sok, who has caught the attention of fans with her impressive skills (pictured below).

Additionally, there's Moon Seo Yoon, rumored to be the granddaughter of the influential chairman of the Korean chaebol retail company, Shinsegae Group.

Fans are expressing their excitement, praising the trainees for bringing back the "hip BLACKPINK vibe" and applauding their mesmerizing visuals.

However, some skeptics are questioning Moon Seo Yoon's identity, suggesting she might be a lookalike. Notably, her Instagram account recently turned private, adding to the mystery.

Discussions on a forum revealed that Frederic Arnault from LVMH, previously linked to dating rumors with BLACKPINK's Lisa, 'liked' a post shared by Moon Seo Yoon.

Bailey Sok has also stirred enthusiasm, with some fans speculating whether she's a member or perhaps the choreographer for the new group.

Online discussions have revealed the ages of these trainees: Ella Gross (born in 2008), Moon Seo Yoon (born in 2002), and Bailey Sok (born in 2004).

As of now, THEBLACKLABEL has not officially announced the trainees or members of their new girl group.

Reactions from fans include:

"Oh my god, this was what I was looking for."

"THIS!"

"It's this. This is it."

"Will they become rivals with BABYMONSTER?"

"THEBLACKLABEL took all the best of YG with them."

"Looks more YG than YG…"

"Teddy has taken the best of the best."

"He's really reviving the feel of BLACKPINK."

"They are so pretty….."

"I think Bailey is just the choreographer for them."

"Bailey Sok could have just collaborated as a dancer."

"So….when are they debuting??"

"Please just debut."

"Teddy knows best"

"I can't believe that she is the granddaughter of Shinsegae."

"She must just be a lookalike.."

"Bailey Sok is honestly amazing at dancing. She's becoming an idol, though??"
