I think their fans are very delusional to think Hybe would sign any of the girls.
Let's be honest, Hybe want Sakura, Chaewon and Minju just for the quick cash and instant fans to protect that group after GFriend 's disbandment.
But in Kep1er, none of the members are as popular as Sakura or at least as Chaewon in Korea. They have nothing to offer. Xiaoting? Nj's members has bigger China fanbase than her. Bahiyyih? Her popularity is quite overrated. Not even in top 5 if she's in Izone. Hikaru? She's not that popular in Japan especially compare to Sakura. Besides, Bahiyyih and Hikaru visual is not what Hybe looking for based on their current gg. Dayeon? She's not even popular, even for her dating scandal, nobody bat an eye. Chaehyun? The weakest center ever in Mnet survival show. Not even that popular while her fans claim she's that popular in Korea, she's not.
I wonder how anyone would think Hybe will put any interest for any of these girls. Their individual popularity with Izone is really huge.
