Bang Si Hyuk extended a warm welcome to Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae Won following the news that they have signed exclusive contracts with Source Music x HYBE Labels and are currently preparing to debut under a new girl group.

The former HYBE CEO took to his personal Instagram on March 14 KST, captioning a pair of photos with "Welcome!" In the set, he is seen standing in between the two idols, who are both dressed in denim jeans and white tops. For one of the photos, they also raise their fists in a 'Fighting!' stance.

Meanwhile, Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae Won previously debuted together through the 'Produce 48' project group IZ*ONE. Fellow 'Produce 48' contestant Heo Yun Jin is also rumored to be joining the new group, though HYBE has yet to confirm these claims.
