SM Entertainment to debut "M1" in March?

Quote:

SM Entertainment has announced that a new boy band named "M1" will be debuting in March or April 2011. When fans heard this news, they immediately connected the name to the "male Girls' Generation" that SM had been preparing.

What do you think about this new group?

(I took out the part about the rumors about them dissing TVXQ, Super Junior and SHINee because according to someone on OmonaTheyDidn't, it wasn't even in the original source)

Another article from akp:

Quote:

SM Entertainment announced on January 27th that they will debut a new male idol group in March or April of this year.

Currently working under the codename “M1” (the same name that SNSD worked under before their debut), netizens have been referring to them as ‘소년천지‘ (literally “Boy’s Heaven” or “Land of Boys”).

From speculations as to the exact identity and number of members to pinning their concept as the “next generation TVXQ,” the secret group’s popularity is quickly brimming over with promise. Though this is the first time that SME has ever officially acknowledged the existence of “M1”, the buzz on internet boards has already reached such proportions that one would think this group was being anticipated for years.

With the promise of more information to come soon, SM Entertainment has also revealed plans to incorporate this new group into the OST of its co-production drama, “Paradise Ranch”. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, however.

The fans’ reactions to the news have been, to say the least, tremendous. Forums are flooded with comments like, “They’re coming, they’re coming! They’re really really coming!,” “Don’t toy with me SM!” and “Oh no, another male group- this time with kids born in 1992?.”

With no additional information at the time, we guess we’ll just have to wait till March or April to see if this group is another SM match made in heaven or have us saying “heaven help us.”

Does anyone know where to find previous articles about them? If there was more info then we can add it to the first post or something.

apparently SHINee has debuted instead of them... interesting.

They all are so ugly :(

^^ According to people in Omona and this thread in soompi .. SHINee pretty much came out of nowhere ._. .. Imagine if a group with a totally different line-up debuts two weeks from now :laugh

Oh don't worry, pre-debut pics are almost always lq and the idols look really young and stuff, so they look really bad XD

a vid of Kyuwan singing, he's pretty good ! :

and lol I had a feeling kim munkyu would be the diva of the group xD

oh my... they're younger than me! LOL

omg how many groups like this are there in Korea now? I get the feeling that every person in the country aged 16 to 20 is in one of these groups. xD
