hybe won’t debut their new girl group this year

i guess soumu having trouble now could be one of the reason?

Knowing Min Hee Jin, I feel like her girl group conceptually would be like f(x) and RV which isn’t bad but people might say the girl group is too ‘SM’ or that they don’t have that bighit/hybe color. It’s gonna be interesting too see if there’s a twist to this girlgroup she’s going to put out.

I'm super interested in what type of concept and sound the gg will have (perhaps an SM influence because of Min Hee Jin). Also the lore has become a staple with most Hybe groups, I wonder how that will translate to a gg (maybe kind of like Loona's lore?)

I am up for watching new talented ggs debuting. So will be rooting for them.

I don't think its that they didn't say they had recorded their debut album, but that they were working hard for their debut. They probably meant training. There was never a set date, but If anything they can still debut them in q4. I think the soumu/gfriend situation is the most probable cause for postponement (if there was one) the situation is pretty suspicious. There is also the rumor that most of their employees left the company and the phones weren't working, so i doubt they can debut a new group with no staff.

Personally I do hope they will do the storyline for the gg. It would be interesting to see how a gg story would go.

I still think they are gonna debut this year!

They may debut at the end of the year

Tbh, I'm still waiting to see if the July debut rumours are true. Especially now since Source Music is going through a rebrand.

And if Sakura ends up signing with Hybe, then I really doubt she will be added to the line-up (or at least I really hope she won't be in the line-up). It will be pure madness to add an idol with an established fandom and reputation to an already finalized line-up, that will just throw the future fandom topsy-turvy. And it also disturb the team balance if that was the case, and I really hope Hybe will prioritize teamwork as they do for the rest of their groups.

Next year they will compete with mnet gg so they will face competition anyways. Whenever they debut it will have hype bc it's 1) BTS sister gg however u wanna see it, 2) bh first gf since glam who debut like 9 years or so ago

The only area they could do badly is digitals but we don't know how a gg by bh even perform digitally bc they have none

I doubt bh is looking at anybody bc they didn't look at nobody when txt debut with X1 ( who die bc mnet ironically) and bh must be moving in their own bc the hype will be there anyways, a parallel to this is what 2ne1 was to bb when they debut bc yg took years to debut a new gg from a company that just had one big bg

Also txt is a example of how bh hype follow their groups, people didn't wanted a bg from them they wanted a gg and even then they got massive hype, imagine when they get the gg they been asking for. Also txt make the best music from the 4th gen and a gg finally getting good music in that gen would be nice

Well to be fair, next year the hybegg will have competition still - possible debut of yg gg, that planet survival show group, the iland gg (which would mean it would be hybe vs hybe if iland x hybengg debut in the same year). As people said, I think source's situation is what caused the postponement but I really hope they'll debut that year. If they debut late November or December, they'll not be eligible for some award shows while they will be for the late ones where aespa can't get nominated because they did last year so they'd swap trophies still

I’m sorry what gg is this? Min Hee Jin’s? Or source music’s? I’m sorry it’s so convoluted since hybe planned so many ggs

I just care if the girls have the talents that are on par with Aespa or StayC. I hope they do because to me it's the most important.

Quote from mygsbeat

it’s a joint group between source and bighit but min heejin is overlooking the creative aspect of the group (concept etc.)

but in the future min heejin will get her own sub label under hybe (like belift, pledis) and debut gg’s from there. this one is still associated with bighit so that’s why there’s a lot more hype. think of it as txt and bts’ half sister

if it’s from source music im not gonna support it after they did my gfriend girlies dirty 🤧 ig i gotta wait for min heejin’s own gg

I've been holding out hope all this year for a Hybe gg, this is sad but we don't really know. I'll keep hoping I get to see them soon!

I think Aespa's debut got shifted back too? I think that is normal for the new hybe gg too. Also before Gfriend disbandment there were some vague rumours about the new gg like this whole thread-

Also I agree that it doesn't make sense for Sakura to join the new gg. Honestly she is one of the few female idols that has a huge fandom willing to buy a lot of albums and can be profitable going solo.

I am very late here, but Hybe should really debut that girl group soon, soon meaning this year, the market is already hyper-saturated with new girl groups debuting all the time and now YG and even Jyp inminently debuting new girl groups, I think they should really launch that group already. I know that most likely at the end big 3 ggs and Hybe will end up dominating the scene anyway (and Stayc), but Hybe should rush their gg otherwise (even when still successful because of Bts, txt hype) they are at risk of being pointed out as copycats of the other group concepts (let's be honest, there are not so many concepts that a kpop group can choose from anyway) so they should really debut their group this year, or at least before YG and Jyp debut theirs.

YG i also postponing , which is a wise choice considering pandemic still going strong in domestic

wait... didn't they announce they are gonna start promoting their new gg this 2H?

Is this real? Can someone check? They're calling themselves BTS little sisters

yeah its be interesting to see New GG's from big4 debut same year but kinda have a feeling YG and HYBE will do it next year

They are debuting 2nd half of this year.My guess is probably November.

But my new faves!

Naw, you're on time

And I agree, HYBE NGG will end up dominating

Idk, personally I think hybe will debut gg this year anyway

Hello from the future, HYBE has debuted their new girl group, their name's LE SSERAFIM(and yes, it has a space).

They debuted on May 2nd 2022, a little less than a year after this thread was posted.

Quote from mygsbeat

this was not me your honor

But your post (from 2021) was correct.

They did not debut their new girl group in 2021.

Quote from Lizzinx

Suppose your theory backfired

HYBE debuted no girl group in 2021 though

I mean technically op is right. People forget that They’re under Source.
