It’s been two months since SM Entertainment first annouched that a new male group was steadily preparing for a spring 2011 debut, and today the public will receive its first look at this mysterious group!

Temporarily dubbed “M1″ until the official name is released, the group appears to consist of seven members. As the picture was taken in one of SME’s dance facilities, it looks like the group will be yet another group geared toward the dance pop genre. Rumor has it that Jino (remember him from project group, SM The Ballad), who already turned heads with his power vocals last November, will debut in this band.

Previous announcements suggested a debut in March or April, so if things are still going as scheduled, “M1″ will be officially stepping onto the scene at some point in the next five weeks.

SM Entertainment last debuted a group in September 2009 when f(x) was unveiled out of nowhere, receiving explosive attention across the Korean entertainment community. With anticipation already building up for M1’s debut, we’re positive that they’ll be shaking up the music scene very soon as well. Tell us your thoughts below — are you excited for this debut?
