In an unexpected twist, former Trainee A member JJ made headlines by transferring to SM Entertainment. This move comes almost two years after the disbandment of Trainee A, a group that had been training at the old BigHit Entertainment building. The group was anticipated to be the next big thing from the label that gave K-pop stans BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT). Although the project fell through, JJ‘s journey in the music scene has taken a promising turn with this news.
