do you think HYBE new gg will have the same fate as the other post-IOI and Wanna One group ?

I think they'll probably be on Enhypen's level.

I think they will do well because Hybe is a well known company that has enough stans also this upcoming gg will probably have 3 iz*one members so people will definitely check them out.

Quick note Weki meki has two i.o.i members Doyeon and Yoojung

What makes u think a group from hybe won't be successful? Lol. They'll be managed way better than any of those groups.

will do well but won't be surpassing izone peaks

remember this is under Source Music

Hybe has a lot of goodwill amongst the gp so if they promote them properly and the girls are upto hybe standards and the girls are 7 or 9 then we might be seeing ngg potential.

Quote from bartkun

the question is IF this will be gg directly under HYBE

because once again if this will be gg under Source Music then well...

Why won't hybe be in control? They r obviously offering these contracts to the most popular members with fanbase. They want instant success. They'd know better than to leave it to SoMu for promotions etc. I agree if they are under SoMu completely they'll become fads.

they are under hybe... sakura alone can make them have high physical sales

hopefully not but we'll see when we see

Quote from bartkun

I have faith in Min Heejin

unless later we will learn that this IZ*ONE/PD48 group isn't hers and was just a marketing decision to boost number of gg's in all HYBE Labels

and then Min Heejin group will debut with trainees carefully selected in global auditions in last 2 years

This isn't min heejin's group if the rumors r true which i think most probably are. This is just a izone sub unit type of thing. I expect her group to be full of new traniees. I hope hybe knows better than to give SoMu full power.

Min Heejin's group isn't the one that's going to have izone members. It's a new group under source x bighit. At least that's what people believe but we shall see

No.... since there was no Female Trainee from HYBE that was in the company while being on a Survival Show because the rule you are suggesting is Trainees that returned to their company to debut in their groups

Hybe make good music, unlike post ioi groups so they will have a brighter future.

[Hybe] TXT makes good music, unlike post ioi groups (except bopmaker Weki Meki) so they will have a brighter future.

I fixed it for you.

Hybe groups will always have a leg up because of Hybe stans, there are tons of them.

But the difference between good success and great success for this group is what happens with Wizones.

Solo stans and Hybestans could make the group sell 150k, which is huge for debut GG, but if you get a good amount of Wizones (not all, i'm sure there are some Wizones who have moved on and only care about OT12) to buy in, Hybe is looking at 200-300k albums.

To maximize profits and attract the most Wizones and even more solo stans, Hybe needs to just make an Izone subunit and NOT insert rando trainees nobody knows. This is what killed those other post IOI groups. Bring back Chaekura, Joyuriz, etc, bring back that Izone family, and watch the $$$$$ literally pour in to Hybe bank accounts.

If they want to capitalize on Wizones it should be an IZ*ONE sub-unit.

But even if it isn't it still has the Hybe factor, so it won't flop.
