yeah but got7 was a HUGE international asset to JYP, will there really be another bg as big in Korea and internationally?

well stray kids fills that position don't they?

i mean JYP is always after the next big thing and with GOT7 gone (well when i say gone i mean gone from JYP) he needs something after Stray Kids right?

wait i don't understand, the nizi project that consisted of girls is going to be a kpop group under jyp or is it going to be jpop under another company? i'm literally so confused, considering itzy is basically new, i wonder how is jyp going to manage all this,

are companies debuting groups yearly now?

The LOUD group really is more of a replacement for Day6, since the leader should be entering military service sometime this year, and possibly most of the rest in the next year... which is probably when the LOUD group will debut. Div. 4 will have plenty of staff available to handle them.

Also, keep in mind that it would still take quite a while before the Nizi Project male season is launched. I mean, JYP publicly announced the plans for the Japanese girl group nearly 2 years in advance at the JYP 2.0 presentation, and even when he launched the start of the Nizi Project at the press conference, it still took about a year and a half of auditions and training before they actually debuted. So even if he does launch the recruitment immediately (which is unlikely), it would still probably be minimum 2 years before we see this Japanese male group debut on stage.

The only thing is that if this Japanese male group launches, we will probably see a reshuffling of artists under the different divisions. But there are multiple factors to consider in two years' time, since TWICE, Day6 and maybe 2PM's contracts would be due for renewal around then.

Frankly, it just makes good business sense to capitalise on the remarkable popularity and branding of the Nizi Project, before too much of its' hype has faded. The Produce series created four groups in a row, debuting one year after the other. Two years is probably a reasonable time gap between the female and male versions, given the coronavirus conditions. Though maybe once the vaccine is properly distributed in both Japan and Korea, they can go into higher levels of activity.

EDIT: But it will probably be a harder fight for the male group than the female group, because quarantine and work-from-home conditions would be different, leading to possibly less of an audience being able to stay at home and watch the audition show. (Though they might move it into a bigger primetime slot now that the first show did so well). And also, they would have to challenge Johnny's boy groups in Japan, which is tough. But maybe by that time Stray Kids would have developed enough of a Japanese fanbase to have a similar senpai effect for this new group that TWICE had for NiziU.

Wait what’s happening with his female girl group did he decide not to do it or is he just waiting for a while

All the best to JYP ent and the employees who will work day and night without a break.

Huh? Which girl group do you mean? Are you talking about NiziU? (I.e. the girl group that was formed out of the first Nizi Project?) They debuted already late last year. Shot to #1 on the Oricon charts with both their pre-debut song and their debut song. About to start promoting another comeback in Japan fairly soon, once they complete the Covid quarantine for international travel.

First public announcement that JYP Ent was planning a Japanese girl group was in Jul 2018, press conference to launch Nizi Project auditions was in Feb 2019, Nizi Project auditions and training ran from Jul 2019-May 2020, NiziU debuted Dec 2020.

LOL haha good luck competing with JE

Not the nizi project they are a Japanese girl group jyp said he was deciding between a American girl group and a Japanese boy group but will ultimately do both so I was wondering if there was any news

He needs to stop, we don’t need no pervy dude and someone that’s wants to be better than the frickin trainees, that old hag can go get a life

idk how I feel about it

Love that the trainees get to be let of the dungeon, but I would want the money to go to better resources

I'm interested ngl, I love Treasure's j line so I wonder if this bg will be as interesting as them.

Ah, I see. Yeah... no news about them yet, as far as I know. I guess he just decided to go ahead with the Japanese boys group first. Especially considering the state of the coronavirus situation in Japan vs. the U.S.
