On the other hand, it was previously revealed that former NCT members Sungchan and Shotaro will join the lineup of SM’s new boy group, alongside trainees Eunseok and Seunghan. Lee Chan Young, the oldest son of famous musician Yoon Sang, along with 2 others hidden trainees, are also rumored to be members of the group. 

If the aforementioned speculations are true, RIIZE will be the first boy group to debut under SM Entertainment since NCT’s debut in 2016.
