Rumored to Debut
With SM’s most recent debut being a boy group, fans are speculating that a girl group will debut next, and Ha-yeon might debut in that group, as her age is close to many of the other female trainees in the company. However, at this time, Ha-yeon has yet to be introduced officially as an SM Rookie.
