K-netizens react to the potential members of SM's foreign boy group

AKP STAFF

Recent news about SM Entertainment's production of a foreign boy group has sparked some reactions from K-netizens. According to rumors, SM Entertainment is collaborating with a British entertainment company to launch a local boy group.

According to reports, photos of the potential members have already been unofficially released. The photos were shared in a popular online community.

The netizen who shared this information revealed, "I heard that information has already been released in the UK, almost officially. Maybe because it's a localized group? The boys really look like a British boy band. They look like faces I've seen in Western boy bands before." They added, "I saw a lot of comments mentioning One Direction, so I looked it up. The British entertainment company that collaborated with SM is the same company that created the show where One Direction was formed."

Korean netizens commented:
"Wow."

"Wow, they are all foreigners. Honestly, I thought there would be at least one Korean."

"I thought I saw Harry Styles."

"I guess it's not a K-pop group."

"Oh I'm curious about this."

"It's just basically One Direction."

"Wow, that's interesting."

"I wish they would be tall."

"I thought there would be one Korean American."

"One Direction."

I still don't understand the reason behind this and I think it's a terrible idea, but best of luck to them.
