I'm not quite sure why this news is gaining prominence now, when all the details were already announced in the Nizi Project announcement by JYP five months ago... Maybe it's just a slow news day for kpopmap? Or it took five months for the news announcements to go the rounds on twitter, where kpopmap is drawing from?
