In confirmation of the adage that all publicity is good publicity, the aspiring starlet convicted of smoking marijuana with Big Bang's T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun) has revealed her debut plans.

Han Seo-hee is to be part of a four-member manufactured girl band that will be launched in January next year. She is currently serving a four-year suspended sentence.

She announced the schedule in a live feed on Instagram on Sunday. "I decided to give it a try because I will be blamed anyway even if I keep quiet", she said.

She admitted that she smoked marijuana but claimed that T.O.P encouraged her and that she was in a relationship with him.

Han immediately started trending on social media, though many commenters took a dim view of the publicity stunt, and her agency's server went down on Sunday morning.

After appearing on an MBC's talent show in 2012, Han joined a management agency but failed to make a debut. Now she is with a small new agency, which has not yet made any official comments about the plan.
