Quote from Catgirl

- two members from same group start dating
-

- BP solo songs that collab with each other but NOT under the BP label eg. Jennie feat. Lisa. That way they kick off their new era with a statement

- The divide between Melon and the rest of the major streaming services becomes most apparent with virtual K-idols swarming Melon. This might lead to people completely dismissing Melon if enough i-stans get annoyed

- The "5th gen BG wave" is over by Q3 2024

- We enter a period of comparing touring metrics as the 4th gen gg's settle into a bunch of tours and Melon becomes even more unreliable

- Hip hop in kpop gets pushed further aside for rave- and club-influenced genres

Majority of Hybe's new groups will not be promoted once they realize which groups are more popular.

A MAJOR scandal involving one of the top 4th gen gg's. Like possibly a career ending scandal or even group ending.

Not dating. Worse than that.
