[ASKKPOP] [Updated] SHINee's Key and INFINITE's Woohyun rumored to be forming a duo unit + SM Entertainment responds

According to an exclusive report by 'Ilgan Sports' a music insider revealed,"Key and Woohyun have formed a subunit to debut toward the end of this February and will bring music and performance that is totally different from their respective groups."

The media outlet states that they've confirmed with a rep from the agencies, who reportedly stated,"At the earliest, they plan to release an album next month or in March or April at the latest. We are exploring their various potential and forming an optimum combination... The team name has not been set yet and they are currently preparing for recording. It would be good to anticipate the synergy effect of the two same-aged members."

Although this might have sounded completely off in the previous years, it doesn't seem so now with the merger ofSM Entertainment'sSM C&CandWoollim Entertainment.We've also been seeingTASTY, another Woollim artist, joining SMTOWN concerts and opening forGirls' Generation, so a unit between a SHINee member and INFINITE member does sound quite possible.

Stay tuned for any updates that may come!
