M1 ?

SM Entertainment has announced that a new boy band named “M1” will be debuting in March or April 2011. When fans heard this news, they immediately connected the name to the “female Girls’ Generation” that SM had been preparing.

The nine-member boy band had been dubbed “So Nyun Chun Ji,” or “Boys’ Land.” The rumored members of SNCJ include Jino, who already debuted through SM the Ballad. Others include:

However, SNCJ already have a lot of antis even before they have debuted. The boys had been brought to TVXQ’s Mirotic concert and had sat playing on their Nintendo DS in the VIP seats, to many Cassiopeian’s anger. They have also said on their Cyworlds that TVXQ, Super Junior, and SHINee were guinea pigs for their debut and that they could not debut because the three groups had not broken up. Some members have even cursed on TVXQ songs “Don’t Say Goodbye” and “Love in the Ice.”
Although these comments surfaced on the boys Cyworld and have since been deleted, posts about them on Korean community sites are still negative. Netizens have continuously blogged about the trainees because of their past comments.
Unfortunately, as the original Cyworld comments have been deleted, we are unable to link directly to the comments. However, we have included numerous blogs that have been commenting on these trainees since their comments.
