I don't like when companies add members from past groups into their new groups.

I get Iz*one fans will be happy, but theirs rumors that their group will have 5 members, so if they want 3 members, then there will only be 2 new girls. I don't know how to feel about this, I thought their girl group would be big, like 10 members. I can't really understand why HYBE would want past Iz*one members so bad...is it because their already famous? I know Sakura and Chaewon are very talented but why? I guess people might say I'm selfish to want to see new faces around for 4th gen, but there will be a huge popularity difference in their new girl group if this is really happening.

Isnt that literally the purpose of produce groups like IZ*ONE and IOI?

I don't know I never watched a produce series. But its stupid, they should have made them permanent groups or extended their contract to 7 years, because half of them go to new groups and their new groups flop, and the ex-ioi or Iz*one member is always the popular one and the rest get paid dust. companies think there groups will hit it big with past members of produce but it's very unlikely.

Mino is one of the most popular members of Winner.

Yeah, but the group itself isn't popular.

Quote from ripia

its about the music

is it really though? lol I like to see new faces new personalites new everything

Quote from ripia

Music >>>>>>>> all that.

Id love to see some disbanded groups try again why should they miss out when they have talent?

because if they had chances then we'd have to give every single artist that has talent a chance too. Plus, sometimes music sucks. Like, I just want to see visuals and abs.

talent doesn't equal interest, it's a tough life out there in the industry.

Quote from selfmate

companies and idols can do whatever they want though

if they want to debut new members great if they want to capitalise and use members of existing groups great...

it's purely a matter of freedom and choice...

true, but its not a good choice in the long run.

Quote from Poetry

There's a whole bg made of ex-members of disbanded groups. They're called Omega X. They debuted 1 month ago. Their debut video has >5M views.

I think I watched the MV once to check it out. Maybe I'll watch it again after I finish this post.

I remeber them, I think I watched this MV, I don't know about the song though, maybe not for me. good luck to them tho.

what do you want them to do be jobless its either debut again in a new group or go solo

they need to start an entertainment company and take out YG entertainment that's for sure.

Quote from pinky-hwi

A lot of groups are made out of ex-members of other groups. For example a boy group named WEi, where a good chunk of the members are from previous temporary groups, or from survival shows.

good for them but I want to see new people. out with the old and in with the new. sorry

Quote from SendFoodPics

I don't know how this will go but I've been streaming Gfriend all day and this news suddenly drops

make sure to stream apple.

Quote from SAINTROSE

I think izone members should feel hesitant to be in a group after what happened to post ioi groups and post ioi soloists. Soloists did far better.

yup, idk why suddenly everyone wants to be in a group now.

Quote from selfmate

but you never know though right?

hindsight is 20/20 and one can never know how a group will do regardless of what's happened before though?

you might end up with the next black swan/rania or the next BP/Twice

what group has ever gotten big with a bunch of old members I think new trainees should get a chance.

Quote from Haolat

kpop and its obsession with new faces

you want to see old people forever?! damn!

Quote from SendFoodPics

I had a thread earlier, being a soloist is hard , especially a new one and it is hard to get new fans and you will not have a strong fandom, unless you're Somi who was number 1 in produce and trended for days after sixteen. My point is, it is harder to succeed.

why can't everyone just be an ACTOR. let trainees have a chance!

Quote from prodigy210

korean gp hates idol actors/actress's lol

LOL korean GP loves actors more than idols, thats for sure.

Quote from SendFoodPics

being an actor or musical actor is worse

everyone thinks actors > idols and idol actors are usually not casted because they usually are bad except for some exceptions. musical actors, have it EVEN worse because a ton of vocal practice especially in an environment they don't know, imagine cracking? usually only 1 actor/actress makes it out of a group and that's usually the visual idols that may/usually not be good at acting. Also there's acting trainees that are probably even more mad at idols.

the only other option is to just be JOBLESS.
