Do you think I-land 2 girl group will be successful in Korea or they will pull Enhypen&Kep1er and only have physicals?

I wasn't there when i-land was airing, so idk how big it was, but I read IU ost did good? Cmiiw

Enhypen flopped on charts, but they do great with album sales and are now 1m sellers. I read they're popular overseas, especially in very important k-pop markets - Japan and SEA(idk if this one is true though).

I am divided. Kep1er didn't do well the way mnet wanted them to do?

Enhypen hype will definitely help them get attention overseas, but Korea? Maybe Hybe tag and if Hybe & CJ manage to bring really popular female mentors, it will help them domestically? Also hybe gave Enhypen some bops, so when they promote it and if the members are charming and charismatic, they will do better than kep1er?

Why is HYBE making so many girl groups all at once

1. They don't want to depend on bts which is why they debut more groups. They are not 1 entity but a unification or something of many groups - source, pledis, ador, big hit which are all independent from eo.

2. this group and enhypen are collaborations between hybe and CJ. Cj want their own popular permanent group since produce ones are temporary

3. it's been known for 2 years they will debut a girl group version of enhypen

4. each gg was supposed to debut in different years, but pandemic changed plans.

Quote from ZestyMochi

Either Iland 2 group flops because everyone cares about LSR and NJ or Iland steals the the thunder from the other groups because the thing Korea loves more than a gg is a new gg. Either way I hope they wait at least till 2024.

they postponed it to 2023, so they will debut in 2023, most likely

Quote from sadsavely

So we are pretending Enha doesn't have several international hit songs I see

Idk that much about them, but I did say they' popular overseas. Digitally in Korea they're flops

Quote from Tenken101

I mean........I-land S1 flopped in Korea. GP999 flopped. Queendom S2 flopped (compared to S1). Do we really need more evidence that Mnet is on an idol show flopping spree?

I did say kep1er is a flop, but since they will have hybe tag and their idols/mentors will be on the show, + if trainees are charming and charismatic, maybe they will catch SK's attention. Maybe.
