A20 Entertainment, the new label founded by Lee Soo Man, recently introduced its trainees through a performance video uploaded to its official YouTube channel.

The trainees showcased their talents with a rendition of the Chinese version of H.O.T's iconic song "Candy," impressing many with their skills.
