If K Pop did Talent Exchanges...

Let's pretend that K Pop had a Talent Exchange Program of sorts, where groups/ idols would be traded to another label for one year.

Perhaps this would be enough to get two maybe even three comebacks under a different creative, and at the very least, learn some things along the way.

I would trade:

Itzy & BTS to YG

Taemin & Red Velvet to JYP

TXT & Monsta X to SM

Twice & NCT 127 to Big Hit

Who would you trade, and why?

Quote from bartkun

this sound more like football (soccer) loan system

there is a real exchange one, for example, there are some Chinese labels that are sending their trainees for year or two to Korean dance academies/k-pop labels to get proper training.

I actually hate soccer with a passion lol. I was thinking more along the lines of pro wrestling and how talent would either be exchanged or go on excursions.

Ah, I did read something about Chinese talent going to different labels to get training.

That would be epic

Not only that, I feel that this would possibly bring out the best out of certain groups.

I think we can all agree that some labels do things better than others or specialize in different avenues, and I think a lot of idols, and the labels themselves, would benefit greatly from this.

NCT Dream to Fantiago cuz i love fantiago's concepts

Taeyeon to Jyp cuz im curious on what would happen

TXT to yg cuz again, im curious

Aespa to Big hit ( idky lmao)

I've never heard of Fantiago. What's their deal?

I can't believe I forgot about Taeyeon. Her with JYP would be interesting. I feel like JYP has never really gotten his mits on a vocalist quite like Taeyeon.

I could see YG making TXT a larger than life group.

As far as Aespa, I just want to see a GG from Big Hit.

same and idols in poorer companies can go to richer ones and vice versa

Interesting...

I could imagine Twice with that bop step that BH gives TXT, GFriend, and BTS

Quote from huang-renjun

Hmmm, cool idea. Maybe trade Oneus to Bighit and then they could continue with a cinematic concept like BTS' On or Enhypen's Given or Taken

Yes, this idea would really benefit groups like Oneus that have much potential but their labels just can't push them.

I think it would intriguing to hear what would happen mixing BP with RBW production.

I didn't mention Blackpink because I can't see Lisa or Jennie outside of YG but since you mentioned RBW, it could very well work. It would be intriguing to see a more subdued BP.

Why you want to send Itzy & BTS in the dungeon ?

I was under the assumption that the key to the dungeon would be thrown away before they got there

Quote from giskard

Jennie has proven to have a great voice in an R&B context that she doesn't really get to utilize with YG material to this point. I think RBW could make that happen.

Which just adds to why I think a talent exchange would be a great idea.
