[theqoo] HYBE reveals they'll debut 2 girl groups in 2025

Did HYBE confirm who will be plagiarizing from whom?

Is there is material left over from MHJ?

As I wrote earlier, HYBE is taking the idol training and launching to the next level, it is assembly lines now, and idols are like SKUs,

No big deal if one fails or even succeeds, just keep pushing them out.

There are enough suckers to be fans anyway.

Don't bother about building the brand & loyalty for few years, at least without internal competition.

If folks want to be loyal, let them bow to paapa JuiceMan Bang Si Hyuk

And y'all were saying debuting groups unnecessarily isn't worse than purchasing subsidiaries.

I don't care if they debut new groups but PLEASEEEEE do it right this time. Don't let history repeat itself cuz that'll actually be the downfall of HYBE (well they're already falling but it'll accelerate the process).

No LSF and ILLIT vocal controversy.

No NewJeans mistreatment.

DO IT RIGHT!

They have katseye, illit and lsfm as their active ggs why would they debut another 2?

they are a plague

HYBE knows the company stans will support the groups they churn out...so why not churn out more.

If you let your kids debut under Pledis, then you don’t really love them, because that shit can’t manage any girl group properly.

I’m also wondering who hybe is trying to replace now. But for sure, illit will be in danger. They’re not hybe’s princess like lsf, and their original purpose was just to reduce Nj’s dominance. Let’s be real, they’re just some disposable pawns for hybe to use to save themselves. With illit reputation shaky both in Korea and internationally, I’m afraid the girls will put in the shadow and only used as a shield for the company while hybe debuts a new girl group they want to put next to lsf as their main gg.

Lol Illit is in no danger by any means. The ones who should be worried are the girls from Newjeans, who will get the crumbs in terms of songs. Btw I'm not fan of Illit.

It looks like Illit will be mostly in Japan in 2025

The slop factory with more slop incoming.

Of no great surprise.

What are you even talking about? Nj is already out of hybe, and even if they're still in that company in some parallel universe, they have their own separate team to make their songs. Why join the convo if you don’t know anything?

This is why a cctv should just stay as one tbh...

Well HYBE does both

JYPE doesn't promote their groups right.

SM plays favorites. The rest basically get pushed backstage.

YG is just greedy. They aim for fast success and domination.

Meanwhile HYBE is all of the above but you can't say they don't promote their groups.

Illit is actually very popular here in the US

So, by 'very popular,' you must mean the girls are a household name in the US, recognized even by the gp. I didn’t realize Illit is more successful than Bts there, especially since not even Bts could achieve that. Congrats to the girls!

exciting year ahead for Kpop GG fanwar enthusiasts like myself

I've never seen a company debut this many groups back to back. SM waits about 4 years until they debut a new girl group, Hybe waits a good 9 months. There is absolutely no reason to debut 2 more girl groups when they already have enough. At this point they are competing with themselves, and yet aespa and newjeans still remain on top. When will we be free of HYBE. Release US please.

I honestly think HYBE is legitimately ruining K-Pop almost singlehandedly.

I guess some of the big labels want to go for a quantity over quality approach nowadays.

Honestly, if you look at their concept is very japanese idol. And I think their actual target is japanese market. They didn't expect that magnetic going viral.

Is hybe in it's right mind? Not one but 2 ggs this soon after all the mess with the current ones, im expecting some drama related to these groups as soon as they debut, it's a must with hybe ggs.

The more the merrier....I suppose

Sm was like this too during the first generation. As a result, Sm had many failed groups during the first generation despite having such a strong start with H.O.T., SES, Shinhwa, Fly to the Sky, and even BoA because of overproduction without much demand and their groups end up competing with each other. During the second generation, while they slowed down, still as the results of debuting 5 groups under the same generation, Shinee and f(x) were still severely overshadowed. Both groups were not as strong in sales, hype and fanbase size compared to their seniors. At least Shinee had time to truly flourish, while f(x), unfortunately, did not.

It's funny how hybe didn't learn from those mistakes, which is why now Sm is no longer doing that anymore. It's never a good business model and definitely not sustainable in the long run. Sooner or later, this will happen to hybe too.

Isn't Illit a survival show group? Are they stilla standard 7 year contract group or a bit more shakey ala izone and kep1er?

Also I’m pretty sure they will have identity crisis with their new ggs. There were already 3 Njs in Hybe(Njs, Illit, Katseye) and now another 2 ggs…..

Eventually their groups will start to flop and then I guess they will stop porducing more groups

Labels will NEVER change.

Well with that mindset, no they won't.

I'm gonna keep manifesting for that change. You should too.

Aren't y'all the ones saying that HYBE is shoving their groups in your faces??

Magnetic's better-than-expected success did skew its plans but it will turn into a completely Japanese act by the end of the year

I remember a time when everyone was begging HYBE to debut GGs.
