Young Posse will make its debut on Oct. 18, the girl group's agency DSP Media said Tuesday.

Young Posse is DSP Media's upcoming five-member girl group.

The group's name derives from the Latin word "posse," meaning "possible" and "to be able," implying that the group is of young people with a purpose, the agency said.

The teaser released Tuesday showed an animated illustration of the five members riding a skateboard, showing the band's "carefree energy," alongside a snippet of a track that is left yet to be announced.

Posse is co-produced with Beats Entertainment, an entertainment agency founded by producer and rapper Kiggen.

DSP Media is known for successfully launching K-pop artists over generations, including Sechskies and Fin.K.L to Kara, Rainbow and April.

Kiggen produced and wrote lyrics for many K-pop artists, including Seventeen, Twice, Wanna One and WJSN.
