The K-pop world is buzzing after former ILLIT member Youngseo was seen at YG Entertainment’s building.
Netizens quickly started rumors that she could be joining YG’s new 4-member girl group, with the first member reveal set for May 28.
Youngseo first caught attention on JTBC’s survival show R U Next? and was originally supposed to debut with ILLIT under HYBE’s Belift Lab.
But she left the group before their official debut in early 2024. Since then, netizens have been curious about what she would do next.


Recently, photos of a trainee who looks like Youngseo entering YG’s building have spread online. This has made fans excited but also divided—some say the person looks a bit different in height and appearance, while others believe her talent and strong stage presence make her a perfect fit for YG’s style.
These rumors come just as YG announced a new girl group, following their recent debut of BABYMONSTER. Some critics worry that launching another group so soon might split YG’s attention and resources.
However, many netizens feel that adding fresh faces like Youngseo could bring new energy and help YG stay competitive in K-pop.
As the hype grows, everyone is waiting for YG Entertainment to officially introduce the members of their new girl group. If Youngseo is part of it, this could be a big new start for her and might change the K-pop scene.
