               ▪ DVD debut (instead of CD debut) allows them to focus on a visual presentation of the group.
               ▪ No debut date, no news of a record label, but they WILL debut with DVD release; we’re a bit skeptical about the DVD.
               ▪ What’s up Johnny? Three groups debut in less than a year? Are you trying to get your favorites debuted before you die?! :O
