'so apparently Pledis debuted After School in 2009 + Bighit debuted GLAM in 2013 + Soumu debuted GFriend in 2015 which would technically make them Hybe's first three Kpop GGs

So Apparently PLEDIS Is Debuting A New Girl Group, Which Would Make It HYBEs 4th Kpop GG

i thought since Pledis was so trashy with Fromis_9, that they wouldn't want anymore girl groups.

but looks like someone (maybe Bang) talked to the CEO and told him a new girl group need to come out or something.

cuz i only knew about I'll-It for Belift and about KATSEYE for UMG/HYBE.

so 2 new HYBE rookie kpop girl groups coming in 2024!

and apparently most of the GP had forgotten about Afterschool and GLAM + GFriend disbanding only some time after SouMu's acquisition by the time LSRFM debuted rite~ (no hate to Chaewon and friends - or any Hybe GGs that debuted after LSRFM - btw )

but yeah a lot of us who know how Pledis's been handling fromis_9 since 2021 should still probably be wondering whether or not Saerom and friends are gonna be let go if that company's really debuting another GG so

(p.s. ik this may be controversial so lemme restate that I'm just pointing out some technicalities and don't mean to hate on any of the GGs that've debuted under the Hybe uniform since 2021 - also notice how I inserted the phrase "[group leader] and friends" at least once as a pronoun for the group names mentioned? you get the idea )

If this is the case then why is there PRISTIN ERASURE?!

yeah... sorry I didn't mention pristin bcuz I just wanted to focus on the earlier groups but still Nayoung and friends would technically be Hybe's 4th Kpop GG ever imho bcuz they debuted in 2017 under Pledis - I kinda understand why people have been calling LSRFM Hybe's first GG tho bcuz they debuted the year after Hybe as a corporate entity was formed (2021 -> 2022)
