So are these guys also going to have their sub-company like Dreamcatcher does?
That would make a lot more sense than HappyFace just completely turning into Dreamcatcher Company.
Or are these guys in Dreamcatcher Company now and HFE doesn't exist anymore?

I see! I don't think it would be fair on these guys if they were under Dreamcatcher Company and not have their own sub-company or still under HFE as they would probably always be in Dreamcatcher's shadow if you know what I mean?
If Dreamcatcher are under their own sub-company and HNB are also under their own sub-company too, then they can both have much more focus on their own groups that way.
Although I love DC so much, I would feel sorry for HNB if they were under 'Dreamcatcher Company'.

Also, in their 'Falling in love' MV, Yoohyeon is in there! Although I'd very much prefer JiYoo :llama_laugh::pandalove:
I also like the song!

No. HNB was only the project name / default name for the possible trainees. Now that they are going to debut, they will have a new name. The old fans are probably still going to call them HNB tho XD (even tho HNB had 9 members...)

All the guys in the MVs are still part of the group!
1. MV (with Yoohyeon): Woo Jinyoung (Produce,Mix9 / First place) and Kim Hyunsoo (Mix9)
2. MV: Woo Jinyoung, Jung Yoojun (Boys24) and Park Woodam (Produce)

The 5. member Yonggue don't has a special MV released yet, but he is also known from Produce and Mix9

Woo Jinyoung and Kim Hyunsoo were pretty much confirmed since HNB was announced because of the big fanbase they already had.
