Big Bang was originally formed to be a six member group, but Hyunseung was dropped pretty late in the process. He later joined Beast, which, fun fact, also had Doojoon, who decided to become a singer after watching the Big Bang predebut documentary that Hyunseung was in.

@RandAlThor would know better but I only know of SMRGirlies AFTER aespa debuted: Hina, Koeun, Lami n others who trained yrs in SM but left/got cut before 2020 debut of aespa.
I only mostly know SM's trainees who didn’t debut(SNSD, aespa) no idea if pinkpunk rumored trainees were known at all.

the consensus back then was that Somi had a lot of individual cfs and solo activities and JYP didn't want her to continue too have them whilst in Itzy so she bailed
