Itzy, full koreans.
Nmixx, full koreans.
Is funny. With the big success of Twice, partly thanks to their foreign members. Anyone would think having foreign members in their next ggs is a good idea. Atleast japanese girls, since JYP presence in Japan is big. I wonder why? Foreign girls dont want to work in JYP anymore?

NMIXX is not full Korean. Did you forget about Lily?!
ITZY is the only one who doesn't have a foreign member. I think Somi supposed to be the foreign member for ITZY but she joined Blacklabel.
but Lily is Korean
her mom is Korean :)
her dad is Australian
so the meaning of thread probably was why they ain't TRUE/FULL foreigners in newer groups
Oh, i though Lily was born in Korea and then live in Australia.
Lily is half Korean and Half Aussie. She is mixed.
Yes, i was thinking in full foreigns. Like Twice members.
Hmmmm...
7(debut) girls of which one is Australian from "NMIXX"
8 Japanese and 1 American girl from "NiziU"
5 American 1 Canadian for "VCHA"
So 11 Korean, 9 Japanese, 6 American 1 Australian and 1 Canadian somehow in the OP's mind equals 0 foreigners. Let me just say your math is um unique. And your right. It is funny.

My apologies. I forgot to mention i was talkin about kpop girlgroups only. And full foreign, not mix.
I think it's a matter of the strategy used by the company
You can notice that the big 4 currently can be separate in 2 groups
JYP & SM = Localization strategy
HYBE & YG = Globalization strategy
Both SM & JYP are going for a more localized strategy currently, they create new team to target a certain public ( DearAlice, WayV, Wish, Vcha, Niziu...)
So i think now they prefer to keep their foreigner trainee for their futur group
JYP didn't debut any foreigner since Twice
SM who usually like to put at least 2 foreigner by group only choose one when debuting RIIZE, and i actually think Shotaro would have debut in Wish if fans didn't insist so much on keeping Sungtaro together
As for HYBE and YG they went for the global strategy where each time the goal of each team they debut is to gather the largest public
That's why even if we could count Katseye as a Localize GG cuz the goal is obviously to promote them in US so they become successfull here
Actually HYBE never try to label them as this and usually label them as a Global GG
And also the reason why there's always at least 2 foreigner (lesserafim, illit, baby monster, treasure, izna)
The poster wrote full Korean and NMIXX are not full Korean.
