The nation’s leading celebrity management company, YG Entertainment, over the weekend released three teaser photos of what is thought to be the company’s next highly anticipated group.

Posted on the company’s online blog www.yg-life.com, the teasers only show the stars from the neck down. The first teaser shows a woman wearing a black lace dress with black fingernails and pearl rings on both hands. The femme fatale is holding a black Pocky snack box with “NEW UNIT MILK CHOCOLATE” written on it. Right next to her photo is a mysterious plus symbol.

The next day saw the second teaser posted. The second photo has a lighter tone with pink as the main color. It’s another faceless woman’s torso, but with a more childish impression with blue jeans, a white shirt and a pink and white cardigan. She too is holding a Pocky box, which reads “NEW UNIT STRAWBERRY.” Next to the teaser is a division sign.

The third teaser shows a man dressed in a white shirt and holding an original red Pocky box.

Netizens believe the teasers represent YG’s new group that the company CEO Yang Hyun-seok has hinted will debut in November. According to the teasers, which read “Who’s next? 2014.11.11 0AM,” the new group will likely debut on November 11th.
