YH Entertainment is stirring up plenty of talk about its next boy group. The company once known as Yuehua Entertainment Korea just filed a batch of new trademark applications for possible group names. They’ve submitted names like ANDOUBLE, AND2BLE, and &DOUBLE to South Korea’s Intellectual Property Office.
This isn’t the first time they’ve done this, either. Earlier, they filed for NDOUBLE and its Korean version, which really points to them locking down branding for a new group. YH hasn’t said anything official yet about a debut, but in K-pop, trademark filings usually drop right before big announcements, so fans are watching closely.
There’s already a rumor going around online: people say a six-member boy group is coming in the second half of 2026. Fans are buzzing about whether some current idols from groups like ZEROBASEONE or EVNNE might join, but so far, nobody’s confirmed anything about the lineup.
Meanwhile, brand-new social media accounts using these trademarked names have popped up, though they’re still empty. It’s a classic move companies grab online handles early to stop fakes or squatters before any official promos start.
Fans aren’t holding back their opinions on the possible names, either. Some love the earlier options, others pick apart pronunciation or wonder how the names will fit with the group’s overall vibe. There’s a lot of debate about what will stick.
Industry experts are quick to point out that just because a name gets trademarked, it doesn’t guarantee it’ll be used. Still, the sheer number of applications shows YH Entertainment is gearing up for something big.
Right now, everyone’s waiting for the agency to break its silence and share some real details. Until then, the growing list of trademarks is only fueling more speculation about what could be one of 2026’s biggest rookie debuts.
