But the promotions for their initial groups will be a priority; it will be more like an extension of the six members' activities as if going solo or kicking off an acting career.

Currently, TAEMIN, KAI, BAEKHYUN, TAEYONG, MARK and LUCAS are said to be devoting themselves to their practice for upcoming re-debut.Not long after this report was published, SM Entertainment gave their response. 

The agency stated, "We will be revealing more details regarding our new boy group on August 8."
