Possible new group from SM Entertainment?
by AKApop - March 21, 2010 at 7:18 am

Last week, March14th 2010, a cryptic message was posted in SM.Ent’s official website. Most presumed it to be a hacker, playing unfunny tricks on avid fans stalking the website for any news updates for their respective idol groups. Though SM. Entertainment has yet to deliver any statement towards the issue, netizens found it odd to still be there the next morning.

A week later, the page has yet to be put down and instead, was updated.

D-Tour was written in bold, shining silver letters. Netizens are buzzing with excitement at the possibility of a new group from one of the big three. Though this could well be simply a hoax, fans of the SM Family all over the world have been bombarding the forums continuously with possible concepts for the new group.

Neither CEO Kim Young Min nor founder Lee Soo Man has made any comments regarding the mysterious new page on SM. Ent’s website, though.

Excited to know more about the supposed new idol group? So are we! Stay tuned to allkpop for further information.

The dripping sweat, tears and secrets
Even all the times we hated each other
But I can love all those times – we’ve already…
We can’t grow apart – then I will miss you –
I love my friends

Foreword

Note: Anything in red is important.

Information:

D-TOUR
“After SNSD, girls have become more feminine, but the price is that they strive for unattainable perfection. After f(x), they’re starting to see that being strong isn’t all that bad either, you can’t always be the damsel in distress, but still, they cannot shake away the futile attempt to be perfect as they see those girls on stage.

“But that’s not what I want to aim for. I want the girls out there to know that they can be as diverse as they can; they are all unique and they are all beautiful in their own way. They are all perfect. I want to see that, a group that doesn’t follow mainstream, instead, goes on their way. Young Min-ssi, I request for you to ask the trainers to give me 6 trainees they think are capable. For a group to be able to reach out to every kind of person in the world – with their music, their characters, themselves in particular – one that can be compared to as an international idol group; we have our concept.”

It's already been a year... *sigh* I miss this story so much.

Ahhh late comment! I'm sorry OTL
I've been busy for the past week and didn't have time to read the update right away. But I loved it, especially the length! Haha :D
Seriously, I was waiting for the girls to finally be all together, and I'm not disappointed.

The interactions between the girls are so funny! Jaerin is really entertaining and so is Jieun but in a different way. Jieun is just an dorable brat while Jaerin sounds like an amusing diva. However, I have to say Aecha surprised me. I expected a fiery little woman but she seems rather like a pacifying and very friendly girl.
I can't wait to see more of Yuen and Nara interacting with the other girls. Well Nara did a little bit here, but she's still really keeping to herself. As for Yuen, survival comes before socializing huh? That girl is going to outlive all of us x)
But the girls are lucky she's here, it's going to be hard living in that... "dorm". And Leeteuk complaining "Girls are always so favored." just made me burst into laughter!

Ah and we're slowly moving toward their debut. Isn't that what you're waiting the most too? :)
Well, I know that I can't wait for it!
Good luck on your exams Gie :)

omq.
Their "dorm" is crap.
Look at Yuen, cleaning the kitchen already ; ~ ; such a kind appa, lol.
Jaehwa is doing well as the responsible leader /nods head. I want to be her friend x)
Lol Jaerin is so feisty xD And lol Jieun "I'm calling my lawyer". Such a princess haha
Nara is so quiet!! How cute :3 And Cha Cha's little burst of Spanish. But I'd probably have the same reaction if I sat on a bed that dusty o_o gross.
But they're living together now!! They're one step closer to really becoming D-Tour~

Good luck with your exams!! :D

I've commented on the lost chapter so I haven't much more to say than what I already did... :)

But I had to say the "You know you're a U-Turn when" is awesome! So funny x) Oh and I noticed you changed the color of the group. Wasn't it something like timberwolf gray?
also, putting three photos instead of three for the member's "profiles" is good, we can picture them better this way.
It's too bad for the wikipedia page though, you must have worked hard on it. I'm glad I could saw it before it was lost.

Anyway, I can't wait for the next update! :D

When I read this, I was like "wait........was that website here last time....? Huh? What? What's going on!?" lol. I still think I've gone crazy tho.

But yessssssssss. You keep coming up with the best tumblr-blogs yessssssssss.

(sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing right now since I just woke up, ate breakfast, and went back to bed orz)

Again, I love everything <3 it all looks uh-mazing <3

And I have no idea what you meant about wikipedia page ;A; I forgot to check it last time and I'm lost D:

Weeeeee~ Maknae and leader moment, :'3 I totally love this relationship and really really reminds me of evil kyu and angel teukie :3 Jae unnie, omg, let me love you~! (It sounded like I was creeper didn't I?) you're gonna be one of the great leaders in kpop!
Finally! They're gonna be together, and I already sense drama on its way. I can't wait! Goodluck on the exams unnie~ haha we both have exams to take so yeah, shisus be with us
