I'm starting to get worrying thoughts about Hanbin(former I-Land) and Tempest.

  • He joined Yuehua in the summer after suddenly leaving Belift. Many of his fans including myself thought Belift had a plan for him since they gave him a VLive fanmeet and he performed on the NYEL 2021 concert. Then he went radio silent until June, where Belift announced that he would leaving. Now it's radio silence again and I'm worried he would be left out of the Tempest lineup. There are two things that I feel could go against him debuting for Tempest: His age and his nationality. Vietnamese are not the main focus for companies and I doubt they'll ever be prioritized like chinese and japanese. And we got his age. He's 23 years old and that is still young. But it's not the ideal age to debut in Kpop if ya know what I mean. I usually don't make threads like this, but it's getting to the point where I see Hannies on twitter trying to highlight his situation.

  • i feel like they ditched him, but still hoping :cryc:

    I don't wanna think they signed him just to let him rot in their dungeon, but companies has done this before so I won't be surprised. :-( I'm afraid he's gonna end up in a similar situation like what happened to Miyu from PD48....

    True, Yuehua already has shelved their GG, Daylight as Aria Jin hit big, and Chen Hsen Wei was able to make a name for herself in GP999, but her Taiwan scandal hurt her badly in China.

  • Do you think the same thing could happen to Tempest as well?

    NGL no. Boy Groups do better than GGs. Daylight was formed for YWY as well -- only Aria Jin was near the finals and therefore had a big solo career as the "visual" of YWY. Then their vocalist, Thea left after several years of being in the dungeon. It makes sense that now that Yuehua sent Chen Hsin Wei to GP999 there are no other plans for Daylight.

    Unless there's another competition happening where they can send this group -- I feel like if they think Hanbin's hype is enough they will debut him. Unless the competition/sources are stretched thin, I think there's a chance he'll be included in the BG. Problem is the state of Chinese Entertainment RN-- Yuehua is...kinda stuck.

  • I feel like Hanbin wouldn't have left belift/hybe if he wasn't guaranteed a spot in the line up of the new company's group. My bet is that he simply didn't want to wait (hybe was going to debut him since they were promoting him but that wouldn't have happened anytime soon since they have many plans rn and he would have been most likely a soloist) so when he was promised to debut much sooner under another company he grabbed that chance. If I am wrong and nobody promised him anything and he just left then it would have been much better if he just stayed in hybe
