WM Ggumnamu (WM꿈나무) is the collective name of trainees under WM Entertainment. The project eventually debuted ONF, USPEER, and soloists I (Cha Yoon Ji) and Lee Chae Yeon. After being acquired by RBW in 2021, WM Entertainment terminated all of their trainees’ contracts and has turned the Ggumnamu account into an audition page.
In 2023, RBW announced plans for WM to debut a new girl group in 2024,[1] though the Instagram page remains inactive.
