HYBE/BIGHIT To "Debut" New Boy Group Real Soon?!!...What Are Your Opinions On That?

• The new group is supposed to be HipHop + R&B
• Most likely a 7 member line-up, since it seemed like that's what they had in mind before
• BTS and TXT are all Korean, but if they aren't able to find Korean trainees with what they need, then I guess BigHit is now open to foreigners, which is new
• My GUESS is that this audition is for a new BigHit group for 2025-2026, since the ages they want the audition for is really young
• And my prediction is BigHit already have a boy group ready to debut, and they'll debut in late 2023 this year or early 2024..which I'm hoping the former

I know for a fact this group gonna be POPULAR asf.

I mean imagine debuting directly in the same company as BTS and TXT....they gonna make noise for sure when they debut.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINIONS?????

(they posted these audition flyers on their Twitter page yesterday)

ENHYPEN has 1 Japanese and &TEAM has 7 Japanese and 1 Taiwanese member

Yeah but thats BELIFT LAB and HYBE JAPAN.

Im talking about BigHit Music, who only have TWO groups BTS and TXT who are all Korean (I know Huening Kai is mixed with white, but his other half still Korean and is Korean nationality).

Quote from killingtime1934

wasn that the trainee a thing that got canceled?

BigHit new boy group was gonna happen regardless, whether it was the Trainee A members or not.

Personally I think its a new lineup, with 3 of the Trainee A boys (Woochan, JJ, Jihoon).

As you see BigHit finalized the name trademark Aloners Association in November, so 2 1/2 months ago.

And whatever vision they had for Trainee A, in terms of musically, image etc, was gonna go to that group, even with new faces

Quote from Disturbia

if they are running auditions its for at min 2 years

trainee a was the bg that got canned most likely

BigHit is debuting a new group soon.

Right now they only have BTS and TXT, which BTS as you know are on hiatus or whatever you wanna call it.

They need another active group apart from TXT, who can make them coins and boost the BigHit status even more while BTS as a group is away.

Cuz even though HYBE has different companies under them, its only percentages they get, that's it.

Where BigHit Music the MAIN company under HYBE, gets 100% of everything from BTS and TXT.

Like I said I think a new group gonna debut in late 2023 this year or 2024.

And that this audition is for a new group to debut in 2025 or 2026

Aloners Association

be fr

Yeah the association thing throw me off too.

Kinda remind me of losers club lol

Quote from timedisplace

I don't think they are understanding the fact that there is no demand for a new bg

You know BigHit looking for that second super star group apart from BTS.

Also money too.

While BTS is away till 2025, they need touring money and album sales.

While the girl groups under HYBE can dominate the charts and popularity status of the company. (Yes I know NewJeans and Le sserafim are doing great with sales. I was speaking generally lol).

Quote from itiswhatitisss

This isn't necessarily true though cause Trainee A had alot of hype and had accumulated a pretty stable fanbase before they split up

They didnt split up lol.

Leo left the group, and when he did it seemed like BigHit was gonna continue moving forward.

But since Leo played too many important roles in the group (main vocalist, lead rapper, producer, composer, main lyricist, English speaker, leader candidate), they realized they can't just go on.

So they figured they'll start everything over for the new group.

Yorch and James got cut, while the other 4 I ASSUME are still there, unless they willingly left.

And yeah their fan base was big for a pre debut group.

3.9 million on TikTok

1.7 million on Instagram

1.34 million on YouTube (average viewership 400k-900k)

473,000+ on Twitter

Quote from itiswhatitisss

They just need something that can stand out. The hip-hop/R&B concept they were supposed to go for with the last boy group makes no sense in an era where we already have the likes of Stray Kids & even ATEEZ.

And Aloners Association is a really questionable name for a group But I have a feeling they're gonna be BG equivalent to LSFM, more foreigners and more targeted to international market. TXT & NewJeans being equivalents of each other cause they have mostly Korean members and seem to be more targeted to domestic market. Idk I'm putting stuff out there

Also trying to deliberately make the "next BTS" has and will never work for them, so they should just avoid that.

No offense, like at all, but Stray Kids and Ateez music...

I know for a FACT just by looking at BTS earlier music and TXT music, that BigHit gonna bring something different and its gonna be GOOD.

I doubt BigHits hiphop + r&b gonna be anything like Stray Kids and Ateez.

For reference, and I'm NOT comparing, but using as a example- in reference to BigHit producers and composers :

And NO I don't think Aloners Association gonna sound exactly like this, but its gonna have that REAL music vibe and be modern

Quote from jajalx

They better hire more brain behind their content creator team...

Well i know once the new BigHit group debut, its gonna be more strict, far as in the stuff they put out there, and more people looking over the content, deciding if its okay or not

Quote from lialve

Well bighit boygroup was supposed to debut in 2022 so it's good that they postponed it. They won't debut anytime soon if they're still looking for members. I think 2024 at the earliest

Yeah my pick is late 2023 or early 2024.

Cuz BigHit need a new group now.

BTS are doing the military stuff soon, and TXT the only active group, and they about to hit 4 years next month.

Which is why I said this audition definitely is for another time period later, and that they have a group already to debut coming up... Most likely last minute preparations and figuring how they gonna promote this new group, since all eyes gonna be on them and BigHit

Quote from lialve

Yeah end of the year also seems reasonable. I just hope they're focusing on bts solos this year but it def makes sense to debut a bg soon, cause they don't have that many groups. I think this group is to find members to debut with the remaining trainee a members actually but we'll see when the time comes

Woochan and JJ better be there..period

Quote from nana18

I rarely get exited about a bg debut with this one got my interest them and the new Sm bg

Oh you know BigHit gonna bring some good good good music!

That's what I'm excited for..lol idc about any visuals or dancing

Quote from nana18

Also it's very possible that the group will end debuting this year, Kazuha was recruited to be a member of Lesserafim directly she went through a very short period of training she wasn't able to join the group because of Coronavirus so she kept on training in the Netherlands for her debut

Im hoping soooooo bad its around the end of this year, in October or November..i dont think i can wait any longer

Quote from Slayurfaves

they have debuted enough groups already

BigHit only has 2 groups..........plus BTS and TXT are 6 years apart, with TXT about to hit 4 years next month, so a new group is time.....

Quote from BTS-ae-1320

just i hope that they'll manage their other groups well yk?

but let's see what happens

imma need them ads on the debut MV, with 200 playlist for the Title track, and $5,000,000 spent on marketing and promotions

Quote from KpopJop

yeah HYBE is not BigHit, it’s not difficult to understand lol

THANK YOU✨

Quote from BTS-ae-1320

just for them to promote & treat their groups well !

 

Quote from omnimorphism

NCT BigHit?

No

This will be like a purely produced Bang PD group, like how BTS and TXT is.

Quote from KpopJop

there's a 40% chance someone is trolling when they mention NCT on a non-NCT thread, dw

Okay friend💗✨🍄🌹
