[UPDATE] HYBE x Source Music's new girl group reportedly recruiting some IZ*ONE members + Chae Won and Sakura joining HYBE

is this real, where the sauce?

also if its, didnt they sad this about sakura but she left to neve cmb to korea

Isnt that like not good?

Meaning they dont have enough trainees to make a GG, and they are kinda scrambling to take old IZ*ONE members?

I do wonder if companies of this girls made this post/articles to bring attention to the members, specially bc izone members barely make noise nowadays except for woonyoung who is in knetz mind EVERYDAY

Imo, if this gg involve bh a lot I dont see them debuting already debuted idols considering how txt went, and bh also already put trainees in a bts mv

sound like a mediaplay to me

interesting

If Source went under, I don't know what happened to their girl trainees. I think they need buzz.

So there's no good trainees, at this point why would you put 3 girls from Iz*one, they'll overshadow the group.... are they desperate to beat out competition in the fourth gen that bad? I would rather see new unique faces then old.

Fuck if it's true

Quote from quark12395

If true, I feel like it's a sign they aren't confident that they can draw buzz for this group on their own or they only have a small number of trainees ready for debut. Both seem wrong to me.

I dont think so, if u see the posts about the two trainees spotted in ptd, it was everywhere with numbers just big3 gg trainees pull

They had a pann post with 150k views bc they appear a couple of seconds

Wasn't Chaewon in talk for a solo debut (Woollim)? I'm not confusing her with Eunbi btw, I think I heard about both of them debuting solo.

this would be weird, how a company would sign already debuted idols from other companies to re-debut with young trainees? aren't the girls training under source rumored to be wonyoung's age or younger?

expecting the worst dynamics ever if it's true but I don't think hybe is that dumb

So basically a Izone sub unit? They should debut with new girls tbh.

They can though its literally HYBE lol

I think its bad to debut new girls with already existing popular girls or will they all be known girls? I dont really see the hype for that.

Actually, what Sakura said was "wait for official news" the only other thing she's said beside that is on Sakunoki "I want to keep being an idol for a very long time". So based on those things it only makes sense she's coming back to Korea. On top of the fact is that she rushed to leave HKT48. There is only one pretty clear logical explanation.

well some of them will be, but still, IZ*ONE members will overshadow them by a long run... I just want to see new faces lol.

Anyways, they better add Hitomi.

Chaewon is smart. Eunbi should’ve left too.

According to an exclusive media outlet report by Star News on August 17, former IZ*ONE member Kim Chae Won is headed to HYBE Labels.

Star News stated that Kim Chae Won is currently in talks to debut in the upcoming HYBE x Source Music girl group, a project that has received massive media attention for the past few years. Furthermore, it's reported that HYBE and Source Music is currently in the process of recruiting 2~3 former IZ*ONE members for their new girl group, including Miyawaki Sakura, whose contract discussion with HYBE made headlines last year.

Insiders say that HYBE has so far run into some difficulties in maneuvering around Miyawaki Sakura's contract with her Japanese agency. The other IZ*ONE member in talks for recruitment, whose identity has yet to be revealed, is still undecided as to whether or not they want to pursue a career in acting or continue in the idol industry.

Meanwhile, Source Music's first new girl group as a part of HYBE Labels is expected to have around 5 members. If HYBE x Source Music succeed in recruiting 3 former IZ*ONE members to their new group, it will have the largest number of members from the former project group of any succeeding IZ*ONE-counterparts.

and if I was Sakura, unless really loving being a k-idol, I wouldn't leave a safe solocareer on my country to re-debut with some younger girls and possible ex-teammates

I mean, objectically I dont see a new gg that will probably debut in 2022 debut with sakura who is a 1998 liner

specially considering enhypen and txt ages

This gg, at least the one mhj is managing is more likely to be very young or younger than those 2 groups (txt/enhypen)

So this isn't the min heejin group right? I am expecting Chaewon group debut news soon. They wouldn't be doing all this right now otherwise.

Quote from Park_Oppa

Chaewon is smart. Eunbi should’ve left too.

Sakura is a 98er and already considered "too old" for rookie ggs, imagine Eunbi... she probably didn't have the option (hybe offering to redebut her in a new gg) so woollim was her best option, they gave her a solo debut

It's better than joining Rocket Punch or become solo under woolim

Quote from girlgroupstan21

She left ?

This is so weird considering Woolim promoting her like crazy on their page just fine last week

I wonder what happen

that's what they said, who knows

I just know of eunbi news bc of her solo btw

"a five member group that has 2-3 other IZ*ONE members including a participant in produce 48 that did not make the group.

Another former IZ*ONE member who is more interested in acting than singing and is having debating whether to join."

so chaewon, sakura, hyewon (the acting member could also be Minju, but she's music core MC and hybe has problems with MBC), another izone member and a pd48 trainee?... maybe a japanese one because I think all the popular korean participants debuted already

This is confusing

Why Woollim would make a solo profile on their website, make a photoshoot of her just for her to leave a few days later?

are this 2 different groups

I mean not like bh even has woman there, also what happen to that iland gg ver

Doesn't sound like it'll work but i'm also not sure how much $$ the three izone members can pull. Was chaewon popular in her group?

Thinking of the artists involved, it’s a good thing because they will be employed and do things they they trained hard to do. Selfish fans with petty reasons might think differently but that’s normal.

On the label side, who cares. They are labels and they must have their reasons.

it seems they are planning a new gg with the ex-SM director, the survival show one and the izone relaunch... now I feel bad for fromis, they just joined
