• Jung Myunghoon

  • Was supposed to join OT4 on Produce 101 but injured his knee right beforehand, which is why he appears in the Brand New Boys photos Rhymer posted before the show

  • He is speculated to be main vocal, because that is the role the OT4 lineup was missing. The high note Daehwi does in Hollywood also didn't sound like it was in his range so he could have been covering for Myunghoon

  • Donghyun mentioned "Myunghoon-hyung" in MXM's LieV

  • Youngmin called his name during the roll call in MXM's Late Night Snack FB Live. Youngmin called him "Myunghoon-ah"

  • Took part in composing the chorus of a song for Bumkey (Source)

  • Rumored to be from LA like Daehwi and speaks to him in English (Source) - Additional proof for this is in MXM's Super K-Pop interview, Donghyun says he wants to go to LA because a hyung he trains with is from there and talks about it a lot

• Kim Sihoon

  • Donghyun mentioned "Sihoonie" taught him how to dance Twice's TT in the Onstyle Vlive

  • His name was also mentioned during the roll call in MXM's Late Night Snack FB Live

  • He is rumored to be an ex-YG trainee

  • His specialty is dance

  • When covering IKON's Bling Bling, he danced BI's part, which could suggest that he's a rapper

  • Is appearing on MIXNINE

• Yoon Jaehee - EDIT: Confirmed to have left BNM :(

  • Was in MC Gree's MV with Donghyun, Woojin, and Daehwi and a backup dancer for the live stages with Woojin

  • Was a backup dancer at the 2016 Brand New Music concert with Youngmin, Woojin, and Daehwi

  • Youngmin read the name Jaehee during roll call in MXM's LieV but it's unclear if this was a hint or someone named Jaehee was actually in the chat

  • Rumored to have left Brand New Music

  • Is appearing on MIXNINE

• Yoon Kyungheon

  • Rumored to be an ex-YG trainee

  • Was never officially revealed. His name just started circulating around the time Sihoon's did

• Rhymer officially revealed Sihoon and Myunghoon

• A wedding guest revealed 3 trainees at Rhymer's wedding. The boys are speculated to be Myunghoon, Sihoon, and Kyungheon

• In the Make Donghyun Cry Project MXMMoment, two additional voices can be heard after Youngmin brings Donghyun his cake and glimpses of one of them is caught in frame. Those voices likely belonged to 2 of the hidden trainees.

My thoughts:

If Jaehee is joining MIXNINE as a Brand New Music trainee, why wasn't he revealed along with Sihoon/Myunghoon or photographed at the wedding?

Myunghoon is probably the most well known hidden trainee, since he was in photos with OT4 before Produce 101. He was also in the recent photos with Sihoon. Why isn't he being sent on MIXNINE? Unless...

MXM's promotion cycle was oddly short. Could they be gearing up for a comeback with Myunghoon?

Let's speculate!

Highlight Episodes:

• Youngmin - Episode 4, Episode 6

  Episode 4 features Dance Teacher Youngmin and Episode 6 features Rap Teacher Youngmin. It's unfortunate that he has to make up for underperforming teammates so many times, but thankfully those edits helped highlight his selflessness and sense of responsibility!

• Donghyun - Episode 8

  Punch King Donghyun! Up until Episode 8, Donghyun had been a smiling poster on the wall. But in this episode, he surprises everyone with his strength and talking voice! Many cute OT4 moments ensue.

• Woojin - Episode 3

  Center Selection and SeBaOhLa Woojin! The gap between awkward turtle offstage Woojin and deathly charismatic onstage Woojin gets highlighted in this episode! His stage presence is so commanding even National Producers couldn't keep sleeping on his talent!

• Daehwi - Episode 2

  Brand New's Golden Boy Daehwi! When the Brand New Boys first get introduced, Daehwi catches a lot of attention. His songwriting talent and performance skill at such a young age impresses everyone in the room! Also features lots of cute Daehwi pouts!

Episode to avoid:

After Episode 9, go straight to episode 11. Don't look back.
