Now that New Jeans are about to debut, it's true when people said that LSRF was rushed

  • I think during the making of New Jeans, Bang PD and MHJ got into conflicts bc Bang PD wanted his input in the group but MHJ refused. That's why they split up and MHJ formed her own label, took the girls that she handpicked with her. Then LSRF was created under SouMu (SouMu's CEO is Bang PD's friend) with Bang PD's touch on their music. One interesting thing is I see no familiar names in NJs' credits so I'm guessing it's all new people that MHJ recruited herself. There's also a speculation that Hybe/ SoMu executives might insist on putting Garam in NJs but MHJ rejected (honestly dodged a bullet) because she was then the first chosen member to be in LSRF. Didn't Gfriend disband around April/May last year? I think that was when some major decisions were made and they also started to recruit izone girls during that time too if I rmb correctly.

    Anyway, now it's interesting to see how both groups will interact with each other. I'm curious if Eunchae are friends with some NJs girlies because they're at the same age range and used to train together under SouMu.

    Approved the thread.
  • The 5 girls in NJ is the original line up for BH(hybe)×Soumu NGG. That's the fact i think everyone already knew


    Then SOMETHING happened

    This is where many speculations and theories being made

    -->The project was cancelled

    --> Izone girls being recruited to form a new group


    Then 5 girls had to be transferred to MHJ label and became her first gg. Poor girls.


    But it all work out for them

    So far. I guess...


    The plan to have her own label and group(s) was accepted by hybe b4 she had sighed with them. Not after the rumored conflict you speculate in OP


    And another thing is she has been preparing her own team for her own gg b4 joining hybe. That's why the NJ debut doesn't feel rushed like Lsrf one


    For sure it gonna be awkward for both groups when interacting. I hope they can be friends though

  • Lsrf look so much better in quality imo

  • Min Hee Jin's girl group was supposed to be HYBE's original first girl group and had been rumored long before Chaewon and Sakura even left Iz*One. So, I'm not sure why people are acting like it's some crazy conspiracy theory that the reason Lesserafim even came about was because Bang PD and Min Hee Jin happened to have so differences and so decided to split up in order to fully realize their own visions. It's actually a reasonable assumption to come to.
