Speculation is building around Pledis Entertainment as rumors of a new girl group under the label continue to gain traction among global K-pop fans.

Online discussions have recently pointed to two female trainees as potential members of the agency’s upcoming group. One of them is Park Seo Yeon, widely known as the younger sister of Jihyo of TWICE. The other trainee, Park Se Ah, is said to be a former child model who has been quietly preparing for her debut.

According to circulating fan accounts, both trainees have reportedly been spotted entering HYBE headquarters on multiple occasions. Observers also claim the two have been seen moving together in groups, further fueling speculation that they are part of a lineup being developed under Pledis.

While neither HYBE nor Pledis Entertainment has confirmed any details, international K-pop communities have been actively sharing alleged sightings and insider chatter, positioning the pair as strong candidates for the company’s next girl group.

Pledis has yet to officially announce plans for a new girl group. However, with rumors continuing to circulate, attention is steadily building around what could be the agency’s next major debut.

However, netizens are expressing concern over whether Pledis would be able to successfully manage another girl group.

These netizens commented:

"Pledis… girl groups… please do better."

"Pledis girl group… really…?"

"Pledis, do you have any conscience? You’re putting out a girl group?"

"If she’s Jihyo’s younger sister, she’ll at least be a good singer."

"They’re just going to neglect them midway and drop them again."

"They’re under HYBE now—no way they’re going to pull the same thing again, right!?"

"Pledis… debuting a girl group?"

"These days, there are a lot of former kid models, but Pledis doing a girl group? That’s shameless."

"Pledis again… If you have any conscience, don’t go near girl groups at all. Seriously."

"Are they going to abandon them again?"

"Pledis debuting a girl group…?"

"They’ve done it three times, and aside from a very small number of members, all three times ended with the members’ careers going nowhere. And now again?"
