Rumor: One Hundred, At Area, P.Nation interested in signing Everglow

Another group for One Hundred to buy 😅 I'm surprised they didn't just buy Gfriend from SouMus, unless they can't afford to buy the IP 😅

That seems brutal to want only the Korean members and leave out Yiren. I hope that doesn't happen because that's not fair.

Who is At Area, and why won't they sign Yiren (bar the possible reason of xenophobia)?

They're the company that HyunA is signed to, so that might explain it all. Other than her they seem to focus on K-Hip-Hop. The only thing I can think of is xenophobia/sinophobia for not wanting to sign Yiren. She's their most popular member, so why wouldn't a company want to sign her?

As soon as you said HyunA, I was...

Yep. Defo xenophobia.

interesting

the question is would yiren want to continue being an idol in SK or do as most of her fellow countrywomen do and return to China

the issue is she is not as known in China so hmm...

I think she attempted that and I am unsure if it went well for her.

she tried but yeah the problem is most of the female idols who return to china after their kpop stint turn to acting which is much more lucrative and variety shows

the most success of which is Victoria from fx

recently though Yuqi is gaining popularity but most of that is because of her permanent role on Keep Running (Chinese version of Running Man) than her singing abilities

Aren't the Chinese members in WJSN doing well there? I remember reading things are going well for Cheng Xiao.

Yeah, it's not that easy to just show up in China and expect to do well because there's still a lot of competition.

they are doing ok with cheng xiao being the most popular

they are getting some main roles and supporting roles and feature here and there on variety shows

but yes they face a lot of competition

it's nice to see there are multiple companies wanted the sign with Everglow

now that the group have experienced signing contracts with YueHua in the past, I hope the members negotiate the terms and conditions thoroughly before signing with a new company

I hope them all the best
