As speculation grew about Na Haeun potentially joining an SM Entertainment girl group, K-pop fans eagerly anticipated her official debut as an idol. There was even more excitement surrounding her debut as SM Entertainment had plans to introduce a new girl group in the latter half of the year, amplifying expectations for Na Haeun’s debut.
