SM Entertainment launches pre-debiut team 'SMRookies'
Dec 3, 2013 by C.
2013 is a busy year for SM Entertainment! In addition to comeback announcements and concert activities, the agency has now announced a pre-debut team called 'SMRookies'!
On the 3rd, SM revealed the four trainees on SMTOWN's official Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Seulgi (19), Taeyong (18), Seyeon (16), and Jeno (13) already showcased their strong visuals through individual teaser photos.
(from the upper left, clockwise: Seulgi, Taeyong, Seyeon, Jeno)
Particularly, trainees Seulgi and Seyeon are drawing attention as they were mentioned by SUPER JUNIOR's Kyuhyun and f(x) members on 'Radio Star' this August.
SM says, "SMRookies will introduce SM's new 'Co-Creation' system. Fans will be able to participate in events and showcases before the official debut. The rookies will form different groups with each other, showing their daily lives, skills, and various charms."
Let's look forward to SM's future superstars!
Netizens’ Comments

Seyeon’s visual reminds me of someone
SM really never disappoints with visuals
Seulgi and Seyeon must be really good if Kyuhyun and f(x) mentioned them even before debut

BACKSTORY
Sunhee was born on July 5, 2004, in Busan, South Korea, to her Japanese mother Kudo Yoko and her Korean father Park Seon-woo. She has three siblings; an older sister named Ji-min and two younger brothers named Dae-won and Dong-woo.
She comes from a lower-class family. Her parents have always struggled with money. They had to work multiple jobs to be able to afford a living.
Despite being half Japanese, Sunhee has never been to Japan. She spent her whole childhood in Busan. In high school, she got interested in K-pop after her friends told her about it. She really liked the idea and wanted to become an idol together with her friends, so she taught herself how to dance.
In November 2021, she went to Seoul with her friends for the SM Weekly Audition, even though her parents were against it. She performed NCT's Black on Black and got in.
On June 30, 2023, SM Entertainment announced the pre-debut reality show "NCT Universe : LASTART" which would create the fifth and the last NCT unit. On July 11, 2023, SM Entertainment released a video introducing Sunhee as a trainee who will be competing on the show. The first episode premiered on July 27.
On September 6, 2023, the final episode aired which announced Sunhee as one of the trainees debuting in NCT's new unit.
On October 19, 2023, NCT NEW TEAM with Sunhee as one of the members, released a pre-debut single "Hands Up".
On January 18, SM Entertainment announced NCT NEW TEAM will debut as NCT WISH.
FACTS / TRIVIA
She speaks Korean and Japanese.
She speaks very fast.
Hobbies: listening to music, playing games, sewing, watching anime
Her favorite anime is One Piece.
Her charming point is her small face and shoulders.
Ruda, born on March 16, 2001, in Kochi, Japan, to bakery owner Ogawa Chiyo and office worker Ogawa Masahiro, is the married couple’s first child. Her younger sister, Kei, was born five years later.
When someone mentions the word 'childhood', a smile always hints at Ruda’s face. Her most vivid memories are the ones she had spent with her friends in a music school club—where she developed a love for music and singing; laughing and singing their hearts out every time they were given a free hand, but also practicing diligently until their efforts were approved by the teacher’s confident nod.
It was only a few minutes of spotlight, but the feeling was something Ruda had never experienced at home. Not in the shadow of Kei, who, despite being a few years younger, was always first in their parents’ eyes. The constant question, “Did you spend time with Kei today?” instead of “How are you?” like Ruda was nothing but her sister’s babysitter, was tiring, almost making her hate her own sibling.
In the music school club, Ruda mattered. She got the attention she needed. She was someone there. That’s why, when Ruda’s friends showed her TWICE and Girls’ Generation’s sparkly outfits and perfect performances that caught everyone’s attention, she knew she had to try herself.
If she couldn’t be someone at home, she would be someone everywhere.

╰┈➤ ❝ MASTERLIST !
taglist: @alixnsuperstxr @jaeminslattes (send an ask if you want to be added!)
Ika’s style is all about color! She likes to have fun with clothes and likes to look her best, so she almost always puts effort into her outfits ("I dress to impress myself.").
You will barely find any black in her wardrobe. 99% of her clothes are colored and her outfits usually focus on one color. She likes to accessorize, doesn’t like hats. Most of the times she’s not dressed accordingly to the weather. She follows trends loosely.
Because of her style, she got the nickname 이콰일 (이카/Ika + 과일/fruit) because her fans think her outfits look like fruits 😭
She likes to wear full makeup and have her hair tied.
She thinks of her style as cute and aesthetic!
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ PRACTICE CLOTHES
To be honest, she isn’t very picky with practice clothes. She will wear anything as long as she can dance comfortably and not get too hot.
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ AIRPORT FASHION
Her airport outfits aren’t very different from her daily ones. If the flight is long, she will wear something simpler for more comfort. Also, she never matches with the group.
taglist: @alixnsuperstxr (send an ask to be added!)
They are on good terms, but they are not close. Although they tried, Sona has never felt any deeper connection to her mother. Their personalities clash a lot. Still, Sona thinks she is a good mother and is thankful for raising her.
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ SHIN SEOK-DONG, FATHER, 1967
They are very close. Her dad has always treated her like a princess and they used to do everything together when they lived in Japan. He taught her how to take care of animals, he got her singing lessons from one of the best teachers in Seoul, he went with her to the audition. Sona is basically a female version of him. She loves him and considers him her best friend.
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ SHIN SO-HYUK, BROTHER, 1998
They didn’t get along as kids, but now that they are both adults, their relationship is great. Both are very supportive of each other and are there for each other when they need it. She trusts him with her problems and sometimes opens up to him. Definitely more friend-like vibes, Sona still experienced the ‘older brother bullying’ though.
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ SHIN SO-JUN, BROTHER, 2004
Although they are not as close, mainly due to growing up separately (Sona became a trainee when Sojun was 9), they are still very fond of each other. Sojun is very supportive of Sona’s career. They often tease each other, Sojun saying her members would be better siblings than she is and Sona responding he is younger than Jisung, so he is not real (yes, she also believes people stopped being born after Jisung). Sona loves him a lot.
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ LEE GA-YEON, AUNT, 1975
Sona is her aunt’s favorite. She was the one who came up with Sona’s name, definitely the leader of ‘team Sona’ in the family. She is always somewhere in the crowd during concerts in Seoul. Very proud of her, likes to show her off and brag about her niece being famous. Sona finds her fangirling a little funny, but she loves her and appreciates her efforts.
Both Ruda and Sunhee live and share a room in NCT WISH’s dorm. They have the biggest room in the dorm.
Their room includes a bunk bed, a desk with a gaming setup and a small makeup area, and a built-in wardrobe. The design is bright and detailed and there's plenty of space there!
Ruda sleeps on the lower bed, Sunhee sleeps on the upper. Both don't like cleaning, so their room is always extremely messy. I’m talking empty cans and bottles on the desk, clothes all over the floor, unmade beds, unpacked bags and suitcases, random accessories and personal items in places they shouldn’t be… basically chaos. If they happen to be in a cleaning mood tho, they clean it together like… once a month, and it takes at least an hour. Yeah, they are NOT having anyone over.
taglist: @alixnsuperstxr (send an ask to be added!)
Sona's style is simple. She wants to look good, but not overdressed, so she usually goes for clean, slightly elegant outfits.
Most of her wardrobe is dark (especially the bottoms), but she does throw in some color from time to time! She likes to keep her hair down or in a low ponytail. She doesn't accessorize much, but always wears the DREAM friendship ring.
Must haves: fitted tops and graphic t-shirts, suit pants, jeans ("Not skinny, I'm not Haechan, but not too baggy either—that's Seyeon's thing. Also, they have to be blue or black."), sneakers, silver jewelry (stud earrings, rings, bracelets).
Because of her job, she wears makeup every day, but it's always light and 'natural'.
She thinks of her style as fashionable and comfortable!
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ PRACTICE CLOTHES
Comfort over anything! She feels quite comfortable around the members and staff/dancers, so she cares a little less about how she looks. She usually wears loose shirts, sweatpants, and sneakers. When she wants to feel herself more, she will dress up a little more, but that's rare. Still, expect her to look good!
╭┈──── ◌ೄ◌ྀ ˊˎ
╰┈➤ ❝ AIRPORT FASHION
Trust her, she will not disappoint! She puts more effort into her airport looks than her everyday ones, but she still keeps it simple. She will sometimes match other members' outfits if she wants to. In this case though, fashion over comfort.
