Tentatively named 'Zenith', these girls are said to be EXO's female counterpart, though no other news has been released by the company. Many are reeling in shock because of the news, and the fact that SM is preparing another girl group brings up a lot of questions with fans.

"Nothing is set in stone," A SM representative said at a press conference earlier today. "These girls have been training for a long time, some even longer than their Red Velvet sunbaes, and we feel like it's the right time to announce the group's formation. Please watch over these girls, just as you have watched over the rest of the SM family."

Some netizens have begun to pull up old trainee files, and some believe that one of the contestants from the first season of KPOP Star will be debuting in this group, while many believe that this is SM's continued attempt to cover up something to do with f(x), as Sulli's mysterious hiatus has yet to be explained.
