HYBE Will Have Two NEWJEANS, After I'LL-IT Officially Debuts

It'll be funny if they become the top gg

The basic strategy is to debut new girl group every 2 years to appeal to a next batch of 10-12 year old girls.

I hope I'll-It music similar to Enhypen lol

I think they be different to NJ and Le Sserafim musically and concept wise. It's going to be interesting regardless.

This group will be directly under Hybe and not a subsidiary?

Quote from tokki-swag

yep!

HYBE officially bought all the shares from CJ Entertainment, for BE:LIFT.

So HYBE owns 100% of Be:lift now, which is the company that has Enhypen and now I'll-It

That's why I said they're pretty much Bang PDs group, just like Le sserafim is directed by him, in terms of music and the concept for the group.

so

Source Music - Le Sserafim

BE:LIFT - ILL-EAT

ADOR - NewJeans

Pledis Entertainment - Fromis_9

All under Hybe.

I guess their USA group will be under 'Hybe America'

I wonder what their concept will be like. Some of the members look like New Jeans members.

I'm still debating if I should watch R U Next.

I don't know any of the girls, so I'm not even spoiled on the members at this point.

Hi,

I can't unsee this vision in my mind.

Someone will make a version of these threads:

"Who'se better? Baemon or I'll IT?"

"I'll IT has better vocals than Baemon"

"Baemon has better vocals than I'll IT"

"I'll IT better than Baemon, here's why"

"Baemon better than I'll IT, here's why"

"Both Baemon and I'll IT have terrible names"

"Baemon more popular than IVE and NJ"

etc etc etc

The cycle of madness continues. This forum is very much like a sports message board. LOL

As long as that fake Minju changes her stage name to something else, i will be happy with whatever happens to Illin'.

Tbh, i havent watched the show either💀

all I've heard about it was some popular girls that were on the show didn't make it to the debut team, and there was some ruckus about that.

And that the girl Iroha is Enhypen Ni-Ki cousin.

I didn't start caring about them until they started posting vlogs on YouTube and pics and vids on Twitter and Instagram lol

Most people aren't talking about them right now though because they just want the music and want to see their group concept first...they debuting I think in second quarter of next year

Wasn't there a girl on there who is Hyein's childhood friend? Did she get in?

Did nepotism win?

And you think there is enough 10-12 years old girls every 2 years looking for new girl groups to justify such investments in this supposed strategy? And are these groups going to be disposable as soon as they underperform or are they supposed to have tons of different groups cannibalizing themselves in HYBE? The way the birthrate is going in SK and even in neighboring countries soon there might not even be enough trainees to debut

In I-Land Bang was the producer of the show and always appeared also with Pdogg and Sungdeuk being directors, for the R U Next I did not see such involvement. I know Sungdeuk is heavily involved with the Dream Academy project and interesting enough Bang posted a photo with the contestants together with the LE SSERAFIM, I don't see a similar photo with R U Next despite the final group already being formed.

I believe Tsuki from Billlie said on a TV show that there are around 1 Million trainees trying to become idols at any point.

The kpop Machine chews them up and less than .01 percent are spit out to become our faves.

Maybe the declining birth rate will mean the machine gets less material to chew.

Then again, as they go global, there are people from all over Asia wanting to sign up, more bodies for the machine.

You’ll regret it. At least I do

Iroha is niki cousin. Really or just a joke because they look alike?

I read through reactions on reddit. Nobody had anything nice to say about it.

And the episodes are like movie length. I don't want to commit that much time to something not even entertaining

I am sure there many teenagers looking for what they think it's an easy way to stardom especially the ones who let's say have some trouble studying in school. But how many of these supposed 1 Million trainees are either talented enough or marketable or even have the necessary mental drive to succeed in the cutthroat business enough to debut?

Allegedly already Korean boys would rather be part of the Korean Hip Hop scene than become idols or just become some Youtuber or similar.

The fans and companies won't accept foreigners taking over unless there is some big change in SK. Especially considering most of those countries they either consider inferior or have political problems with like CH/JP

Like new jeans, they have that "little sister" type of visual.

Even if they don't end up as successful as NJ, I'm sure they will be selling a million in their first year.

Nah

This new group seems mainly targeted towards East Asia whereas NewJeans clearly has a more international target audience.

buy one jeans get one free??

Quote from tokki-swag

Tbh, I'll accept it lmaooo

Bang PD might got him something with this group, if he really can make them another "NewJeans".

I know people say be original and there's already one blahblahblah

But it might not be so bad if he can operate it right and have the NewJeans vibe with them, while still giving them their own identity in a way.

I'm just looking forward in general

time will tell my friend...

even if illit has the fraction of the success of NJ then it can be very successful in it's own right...

and competition begets competition...keeps those on their toes to do better

NJ & who ???

Yes the goal is to get younger girls who haven't yet stanned a group and keep them as fan for the next 7 years.

Girl groups have moved away from trying to get males as fans, because they are really fickle and not loyal. While females once they stan a group, tend in general to stay as fans for a long time.

This is why the members of NJ, Illit and BM are so young. It is to attract the younger t(w)eens who are more likely to stan younger idols.

They just give HYBE GG vibes lol

Quote from tokki-swag

I'LL-IT ✨️

I know the name dumb asf

It stands for "I'll be it" or something.

I think after a year once they debut, people will end up getting used to the name and used to spelling it

That's the hybe X geffen GG???

Quick question, why would Hitman Bang be involved with I'll It !??!.

While yes he is involved with the other HYBE survival groups, like enhypen, &team and the final DA group

but this one I don't think he will be involved with this group.

Sure he can produce their music and other HYBE groups in the future, definitely. If he actually have time and space to produce or get himself involved with their or 24kumi future music of course.

Too many groups already, and there's the American group coming next. Pledis also getting a new group soon too right?
