why is trainee a’s predebut process so similar to bts?

  • the hidden members, the self produced songs, the youtube daily vlogs, now the busking in La and handing out flyers, all very similar to how Bts starts. Why Hybe didn’t let Txt, Enhypen have this much interaction with fans predebut but do this to Trainee A?

  • So this is what Bighit meant when they said they know the formula to BTS's success lol

  • TXT did the same thing when they debut

  • Simple, because they want BTS 2.0 and also the old Hip-Hop BTS, since BTS is doing Pop now.


    Why they didn't let TXT and Enha have pre-debut interaction like this is because they didn't know that time. As for Enha, they came from survival show, they already build their fandom before debut. While for TXT, they just didn't know. TXT is the first group from Bighit since BTS, they thought privilege of being BTS's little brother is enough to make them rise, but unfortunately it's not + TXT had to go through some hardships and lost a lot of fans because the members got sick.


    That's why they're promoting Trainee A even before debut so that they can build their fandom

  • They probably thought txt will easily get that bts fame but they proved wrong so now they're trying to create bts 2.0.

    Enhypen's case is different they're from survival show.

    omg yikes... will their fans preach "from the bottom and now we're here" later because they have footages of this? Imagine the cringe...

  • Didn’t TXT have like debut performances in US too like for 1000 people at few locations

  • Maybe they're exposing them to things like performing live and becoming more comfortable in a public environment. I know, crazy that they would want to emulate the most popular group that kpop has ever seen, and perhaps teach them the hard work and humility that BTS is known for above all else.


    Bottom line, it will be their talent, their gift of making music and their commitment and passion that will set them apart. If they have all these things, perhaps they can be a worthy successor to BTS and their legacy. If not, they'll be like every other run of the mill, dime a dozen kpop group.

  • Enhypen is and will will be much more famous. No one is gonna end their records and they'll take bts place right after they'll enlist.

    Enhypen best 4th gen bg

  • Why can’t 3 or more groups co-exist and all do well? I mean if BTS, EXO, NCT many versions and SVT can all sell millions & gain more , why cant 4th gen at least achieve what EXO , NCT and SVT achieve in a few yrs? We know BTS is exceptional. It’s hard to create another one like them anyways. But I think even achieving what the other 3 did above are realistic and still good. Kpop industry is getting bigger same with opportunities and source of income. It’s no longer limited to SK or few countries in ASIA. The physical sales esp for BG are a testament to that. Once the touring kicks in, BGs will still prevail. I think SKZ, Enhypen, TxT , Ateez, Treasure & eventually Trainee A will have more international fans. They can all be successful and make their companies earn more profit.

  • because, even after almost 10y, hybe doesn't know the reason behind bts' succes - the boys themselves.

    they think that if they replicate everything else, it will give them the same results, but it won't & it's sad to think even their own company doesn't see that.


    can't wait for the moment that hybe realises & accepts that whatever succes formula or solution they apply, they will always depend on bts & their brand name to have any relevancy in this industry.

  • If ur measurement to have relevancy is BTS then no one label in SK is relevant! No one even comes closer to BTS.


    If they can have 3-4 grps ( BGs-SVT, EN , TxT and possibly Trainee A in the future) selling over a million & , chart well in Spotify then another 3 ( maybe ggs) sellling half a million then chart well in SK , they are still relevant and can compete with SM, YG and JYP. BTS paved the way and made Hybe exceptionally better than the rest.

  • When they debut selling 400-500k, we're all going to laugh at the underdog story together.

    OP asked why trainee A's process was so similar to bts' & the only good anwser is bc hybe is trying to replicate bts' journey & succes. So it's not me who says hybe is desperate for that to happen & create a new bts by applying this "succes formula", but their actions are.


    Hybe has almost no status in the industry entertainment except for their bargaining chip, bts (we know what happened with hybe groups when bts decided to skip MBC). so no, they won't be at the level of the big3 if you don't include bts. Big3 had years to establish themselves with multiple iconic groups & make connections that go deep into the industry (why do you think lsm/yg gets away with some of the big accusations he got?).

  • People complained when TXT debuted with zero pre-debut content or activity, not even their voices were known until debut. Now people are complaining about Trainee A having pre-debut content and activity, saying HYBE is trying to make BTS 2.0. Please, pick a struggle.


    I hope their debut smashes just to see y'all seethe.
