Trainee A channels closed, another member seemed to quit. How do you feel? Should Hybe have handled them differently?

Big Hit and their content team should see hell for the way they handled this.

I'm so sorry for the members, they work hard and in the end it was all for nothing

Why are they leaving one by one?

Yorch didn't "quit" lol. The Trainee A project ended obviously before we knew, so he had already went back home etc. We just happened to just NOW see the picture of when he returned and the company likely told him to wait till the 23rd to get back on his social media accounts and wait to say something.

This whole situation came about because Leo left.

Him leaving was the beginning of the end for the group.

Leo was the main vocalist, lead rapper, producer, composer, main lyricist, English speaker, and was the main candidate for the Leader position in the group.

So he had A LOT of roles he was playing as one individual person. So you can see why him leaving would unravel everything.

Also Yorch has his military draft coming up in a few months. And that right there is already uncertainty, not knowing whether he'll go or not.

Why he signed up to be a idol, knowing this would be a issue popping up- is beyond me lmao.

But those 2 things was the main reasons why Trainee A ended.

Leo leaving was a huge hit to the company, in terms of how they had everything planned for the group musically.

Yorch with the military crap just happened to be the straw that broke the camels back.

The name "Aloners Association" is trademarked under BigHit Music, so they still gonna debut a new boy group. It'll just be in 2024 or late in 2023, and it'll be a whole new lineup.

Would like to see if they use the same predebut strategy with them or do the typical like they did for TXT. And curious if 1-3 members from Trainee A make it to the new lineup.

The project has ended according to Yorch. So the team got scrapped.

The leader was not chosen at all.

The thing is, it was announced at the end of August that Leo left. They still posted a song, some dance covers on Youtube and even had a live with the remaining six members with them promising more content rolling out later. Even an official Dingo performance by Woochan. But suddenly they stopped posting. And after 3 months of radio silence, their content team dropped the bomb that their social media will be closed. Hell knows what happened.

They should just focus on their current groups and if they want a new group that bad just debut and promote Zico's team.

Why would you have one person having this many positions?! He didn't need a group, hybe should have debuted them as soloist lol

Do you think some of them would debut in a different line up? Also, I know nothing about the group; how many of them were koreans?

Weird. Didn’t even know that this is a Bighit group. All this while I assume it’s under another sublabel of Hybe.

Too bad about this but I read the wiki page that Trainee A is a temporary group anyway. Is it possible that their trainee days are over and now will debut? Maybe not as the same group but will debut soon.

Quote from bartkun

I've checked their age because got this idea that maybe HYBE want's male version of NewJans

but those boys are all young... so they could do it.

The situation tho is bit similar to female SM Rookies, to Future 2NE1, and to MIXNINE female winners

none of those made debuts in the agencies they supposed to.

i still miss Lami

Why'd they replicate MHj's work when they already have her working for their label? She's debuting a new bg soon. I think Hybe was just looking for next bts and it didn't seem to work out well especially with their main guy leo gone. Let's see if Woochan leaves

This is what the thread is about, they aren't debuting, the project is done. they should have debuted this year but one guy, who was according to post above their main guy, left the group and you know the epilogue of it

i was thinking maybe it was just noise marketing but now it does feel like an end. Too bad for them. Leo was more important for them than i thought.

for bighit, this company has been acting very weird since early 2020 and idk why. Maybe fame/money does change people (not talking about the idols, but the management itself). Maybe it's better for the boys to debut under a different label which cares more about them and not just obsessed about creating 'next bts'.

Wishing all of them good luck in their future paths.

They were so focused on this group being the next BTS that they didn't realize their mistake until it was too late. I hope all the staff who didn't control the lyrics Leo wrote and rewarded him instead of warning and educating him were all fired.

Quote from bartkun

mhm... they wouldn't ever be able to market them as next BTS with k forums being flooded that they don't look like kpop group, that members are mixed or look like foreigners, and half of group really do were foreigners

Maybe they realised that and cancelled the debut. They were definitely supposed to be the next main character of hybe with bts on hiatus.

Whoever behind that content need to be fired....

when will everyone, including hybe, get into their heads that what makes bts bts is their members? you can give their songs to someone else and they would sound different, they would have a different vibe. you cannot replicate rm, jin, suga, jhope, jimin, v and jungkook, no matter how hard hybe wished for it you just cannot.

i'm sure trainee a boys are lovely and talented but they would never have a chance to become next bts

bh rookie department really f@cked up

I mean it was never confirmed that they were supposed to debut under BH. New male group under BH was also not mentioned under BH. So it's possible that they were supposed to debut under a different sub-label.

As much as I feel for the members - it's pretty standard in kpop that projects get cancelled and people are scrapped. They were ''candidates'' after all and not ''members''.

Tho they seemed to have a nice following, so it's a waste.

Feel bad for the boys having their dreams and hopes crushed like that after so long thinking they would debut as a team. I wish they find their path and are able to debut in the future, being it under other Hybe's sub labels or a different company.

I really though that they are going to debut soon. Because One of Enhypen's manager who used to be TXT's manager is not with Enhypen anymore. I thought that he'll be with TA. I hope everything goes well to all the trainee.

why is everyone saying trainee a was supposed to be the "next bts"? hybe didn't even say that and the group wasn't even promoted as the next bh group. people had to dig to figure out they were even associated to hybe/bh at first... some of y'all are straight up projecting here

it is a common tactic to build a group around one star trainee. even bts was built around namjoon. its just sad that leo didn't have a thick enough skin to overcome his controversy. honestly the lyrics weren't nearly as bad as people made them out to be and it was just another wokeism dogpile.

someone mentioned on reddit that predebut projects fall through all the time. it just happened to be on full display this time. trainee a just wasn't meant to be. i do hope to see some of the members debut later on, tho. jj seems like he could be rlly popular.

Quote from paradis

Damn that Trainee A stan in anons making tall claims about them being the next BTS must feel all sorts of way right now. That user was so certain all Armys were gonna flock to Trainee A after BTS enlists. Imagine the arrogance even before the group debuted. Even went around attacking TXT!!

Also reminds me of all those who thought P Dogg was going to be their main producer and all those jam sessions with American producers and P dogg were for Trainee A....Kpop stans never learn.

Anyway Pdogg is busy af with BTS solos and BTS continue to thrive as soloists.

Anon threads? Pretty sure those are setups. Bitter antis are always setting up new groups there.

Lami will debut as an actress tho

i know, but i wanted her to debut in smngg

They seen him most likely as a "all-rounder", and you know HYBE loves having at least one in their groups lls.

And honestly I just want Woochan, JJ, and Sangwon to be in the new Trainee A lineup. Their talent isn't easy to just " let go".

There was 4 Koreans at first, Leo was from Australia but ethnically Korean. Once he left it was 3 Koreans and 3 Foreigners.

Quote from Vanaheim58

i still miss Lami

I'LL NEVER FORGET.

THOUGH IT WAS CONFIRMED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO SHE'S DEBUTING AS AN ACTRESS SO.

It was obvious Leo was the core member and were building the group around him so once he quit everything fell apart. This is why it’s always tricky to put all your eggs in one basket.
