So the SOURCE GG is the GG with the SM executive, and is the one including the IZ*ONE members.

I have little faith in the group for being anything other then a quick cash grab of former popularity. Iv yet to see former temp group members go on to other groups and make a difference.

Good for her!

Still can’t believe that some users don’t want labels to take idols from former disbanded groups. I’m glad Hybe don’t have that “only the fresh and new girls will attract fans” mentality.

Good luck Sakura!

Ikr! Like I said earlier, the izone girls deserve more than a 2 year career. They worked hard all their lives and we don't get to decide when they should stop pursuing their dreams and whom they should sign with.

Intresting....

Honestly it's sad where kpop is the only place where singer have an expected expired date before their debut . Like 7 years,etc .

And only some group manage to break that

woahh..... the wotas are an extinct race, I can imagine what the girls of HYBE will have to deal with.

For me personally, its not about giving the IZ*ONE girls another chance. It's more like wtf have SOURCE/HYBE been doing.

Source lost GFRIEND, added this highly thought of exec from SM, have been rumours of this GG for 2 years now, and for a GG that suppose to be coming out in a year from now, they still dont have members and are now relying on buying out contracts to fill out roster spots.

interesting

Japanese focused GG

I've heard rumors about each one.

Pretty sure hi touch is as far as they go. Just like iz*one .

And the majority of people at iz*one HT are girls.

Pretty sure they won't go as far as make a 2 shot event ,etc.

Even HT are a reach coz we don't know who's gonna manage their JP activities.

Well whatever happens, hope she is happy with this arrangement and she can upload/stream on YT

this gg with the izone members will not be the same gg that has been promised to us lol. There will be 2 different groups

As for Hybe and Sakura, just the way this whole thing went down with Izone about to be extended, then Msnake suddenly disbanding them, then PUP becoming a real thing with Msnake coming onboard, then Msnake once again suddenly announcing that reunion efforts have failed...anyone else get a sneaking suspicion that Hybe was always in the background pulling strings to disband Izone and squash the PUP project so they could grab the members they wanted?

Chaewon, Sakura and Minju are not only the most popular among KWiz (along with Wonyoung) but they're also supposedly very popular amongst JWIZ.

Maybe Hybe wants this group to be their hybrid Korean/Japanese group, to be promoted in both places equally.

Frankly though, like i said before, HYBE needs to think real hard about mixing Izone members with rando trainees. KWIZ will support an all IZONE subunit, but i dunno if they will support a mixed group like this. Maybe the members have enough solo stans to overcome this obstacle, a problem that killed groups like Pristin, Weki, Gugudan, etc. But why take the risk? Wizones are a literal sure thing money pit.

The safest and ideal solution is to pair up Sakura, Chaewon, Minju with other Izone members who are fully available and willing, creating a core Izone subunit. Personally i think at least 7 members fit this description. Then bring back the other members on a project basis subject to their availability (eg Yena, Nako, Hitomi).

I seriously don’t care about what any labels are doing, so I don’t really understand your concern. As long as idols are able to work and get paid (and they chose labels, no one is holding a gun on their heads lol), I’m happy.

If Hybe is not a good choice, I’m sure Sakura will say no. Stop looking down on girl idols, they are capable of thinking for their selves.
