This summer a new mixed-gender group will be formed with veteran artists Lee Hyori, Rain, and Yoo Jae Suk. An insider from MBC’s How Do You Play? shared on May 29 that ‘trainee’ Yoo Jae Suk will be teaming up with popular artists Lee Hyori and Rain to form this new group. The formation of the group is underway and the organizers are thinking of enlisting more people.
