GLG entertainment is best known for their strong management team consisting of CEO Han Jae Chul from Sidus and JTM Entertainment, director Hwang Hyun Hee from SM Entertainment and more.

Meanwhile, the predebut group previously caused controversies as Thai-member Sitala was uncovered to come from an elite family who has actively participated in anti-democratic movements in Thailand. 

The group will be making their debut with their 1st single 'Athletic Girl' on January 5, 6PM KST.

Interesting... well, the previous controversy has already gotten them attention, and perhaps they can benefit that even if it's bad attention i.e all press is good. Yeah there's boycotts and criticism, but people will check them out because of it.

But it's a bit early to think about expanding internationally before debuting. Focus on getting a following domestically. I can't see this group getting that much international attention that early on, but I guess we'll wait until debut to see what happens.
