Let’s be very clear China has a different agenda in doing this.
They don’t won’t idols having more influence than the CCP itself. Anything that could be seen as a threat to the system has to be taking out.
That's also true.
Right now they are doing a clean up in their entertainment industry. After seeing idols and actors have more influence than them, they've literally say it, they are punishing every one that has some criminal record, from rape, sexual harassement, taux fraud, someones we don't even know what the've done, and they are deleting official weibo accounts, fandom weibo accouns and even dramas where they acted.

Hybengg and Ygngg.
Hybe gg because I want to see how their group will be after all these years, and probably won't be girl crush if they have the iz*one members.
Yg gg because it's yg and 2NE1 and BP are great, and interested to see their next group, and because as people has said here because it seems it won't be girl crush.
For the jypngg, I'm not interested in them, it seems it will be another girl crush group like the other 100 companies are debuting these days, but with the pros it comes with being from jyp.

I get where you’re coming from, but this is anti-freedom & not good for the most part
China is a dictatorship (not NK level, but still pretty strict), so not exactly anything to look up to
Blind defending teens aren’t exactly on my preferred list either. However they have the right to invest in their idols as much as they please, so long as they’re not hurting anyone or breaking any laws and the idea of having CCP level censorship towards that doesn’t rub me the right way
I agree, everyone should have the freedom to waste their money on what they want.
But I don't think it's a bad idea to punish fandoms from spreading lies and false rumors. And to point companies also are responsible for fandoms fights, because a lot of them are encouraged by them.
We've seen a lot of made up scandals that are a pain in the ass for everyone and are just an excuse to fight and attack idols to try to hurt their popularity.

The Chinese government plans to ward off "irrational idol worshipping," citing the recent fall of Kris Wu
The Chinese authorities are strengthening their management and watch over the celebrity fandoms in China.
The Global Times writes, "The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) published a notice on Friday on its website asking provincial offices to heighten the efforts to rectify the fan circle chaos and make entertainment-related platforms perform their duties to ward off irrational idol worshipping... tackling the long-controversial moves by teenage fans that blindly idolize celebrities, excessively spend money on their 'idols,' and exclude others, as distorted values within the circles have also bred cyberbullying and illegal fundraising."
According to the new plan, the release of celebrity popularity charts will be banned, and minors will also be restricted from spending money to support celebrities. In particular, celebrity fan clubs are prohibited from swearing or spreading false rumors online. Online platforms that do not properly manage these fandoms will be punished.
In addition, entertainment agencies will be responsible to lead the fan clubs properly. A pay-per-vote system on entertainment programs is prohibited. Any of the entertainment programs should not encourage fans to spend money on celebrity-related products.
Analysts state that China has recently stepped up its crackdown on pop culture because fan clubs have emerged as a social problem. These fandoms rise against each other, arguing and criticizing each other. In addition, these fandoms spend a lot of money on idol competition programs for their favorite stars.
Recently, Zhao Liying's fan club attacked Wang Yibo online on the news that the popular actor Zhao Liying will appear in a drama with Wang Yibo. More than 2,000 related accounts were closed on China's social media Weibo on the 25th.
Moreover, earlier in May of this year, fans bought a large amount of milk to give multiple votes to their favorite idol contestants in 'Youth With You - Season 3.' This led to a huge waste in perfectly fine milk, as the fans only needed the bottle to send in their votes. Therefore, China went on to ban idol survival shows.
These are not the only buzz coming from the Chinese entertainment industry recently.
The Chinese boy group called 'Panda Boys' was disbanded in just five days after their debut as they face criticisms of child exploitation. The boy group's average age was 8 years old, with the oldest member being 11 years old and the youngest member being only 7 years old, leading to the controversy. A Chinese Central broadcast CCTV stated in a commentary, "We should not make children debut before they are able to find their own path in life."
The Global Times also cited Kris Wu's recent downfall, writing, "A recent exposure of fan circle culture was the fall of pop star Kris Wu Yifan, who was in late July accused by some women of underage rape and sexual assault. Some of Wu's fans cyberbullied those women and netizens who voiced support to those women.
After police started investigations and detained Wu for suspected rape, some fans continued to blindly defend him, even saying they would risk breaking into jail to rescue Wu.
A viral screenshot showed an alleged fan of Wu stating, 'there are only about 2 million People's Liberation Army soldiers and about 2.5 million policemen in China, but Wu has 50 million followers on Weibo, we certainly could rescue him out of jail.'
Wu was involved in a sexual scandal a few years ago, but a fan of Wu with the web name of 'Righteousness' always believed that the disputes were out of a romantic relationship. The fan told the Global Times that her nine-year affection for the idol, and the time, money and emotions spent on him suddenly became a joke after Wu was proven to be a suspected criminal.
Another fan of Wu said, 'I didn't believe it and thought he was framed until he was sent to prison. Now I feel disgusted.'
Fans groups were such an enclosed circle that any doubts or different views about the idol are not permitted. Young fans receive a single narrative and believe their idol is perfect, hence dedicating their time and money to defend 'the perfection.'"

S.E.S for me.
While I also love SNSD and Red Velvet songs, they have such a bops, imo S.E.S has the best discography, I love their title tracks and their bsides equally.
For Aespa, I like Next Level, but I'm waiting for their album too see how their bsides will be.

Because the company was full focused on Ahn Ji-young.
Ji-yoon was her shadow, at the start she did some raps and some singing, but their latest comebacks she didn't, and with Ji-young also composing and writing almost al their songs Ji-yoon left because she wanted to sing and make her music.
Right now Ji-yoon has released some music as a soloist and posts some covers on her YouTube channel.
-
It's been almost a year since Ahn Ji-Young, now solosist known as Bol4, took a break due anxiety, she hasn't posted anything on social medias after announcing her break either.
And this came after announcing her friend Woo Ji Yoon leaves the duo, with drama sorrounding the news.
I don't know why, but I don't have the best feeling about this, I don't know if she will stop making music, she will leave her company...

Japanese Media Reports Miyawaki Sakura Has Officially Signed A Contract With HYBE
A Japanese media outlet has reported that Miyawaki Sakura has officially signed an exclusive contract with HYBE.
According to an exclusive report from Japanese media outlet WoW Korea via Newsen, Miyawaki Sakura has signed a contract with HYBE. Based on the report, one of Miyawaki Sakura’s representatives also confirmed the signing.
Quote"Miyawaki Sakura signed a contract with HYBE and will depart from Japan and head to Korea within August."
— Miyawaki Sakura’s representativeEarlier, it was reported that HYBE was attempting to recruit Miyawaki Sakura alongside fellow IZ*ONE member Kim Chaewon to join their company to lead their new upcoming girl group. HYBE at the time, HYBE simply stated that they had no comment. It was also reported back in March that Miyawaki Sakura would be joining HYBE and back then, they simply said nothing was decided.

this is quite risky, is either be a huge mess or a huge success, adding 2 super not only popular but experienced idols with trainees could end in unbalanced line up, individual popularity is not proportional to group popularity, is not even sure all Sakura or Chaewon fans will follow them to the new gg (we already saw in previous pd101 groups) and will bring a HUGE amount of akgaes, their fans were literally fighting for izone 1 week ago.
Hybe gg would had huge hype without previous idols with a relative peaceful debut and more balanced line up.
Is not even about money since Hybe had auditions for trainees for which they spend already money for them. Also all the girls are gonna have similar contracts? if is difference between contracts and girls like Sakura or Chaewon makes more than the rest of the girls, could end with problems inside group in time.
I guess we need to see what hybe do with them.
I agree, the best outcome imo is launching a group with just izone members, or if you will make a group with other trainees they should be famous too at least.
But we will see, I would like to think Hybe isn't that stupid to do a group of 3/4 izone members and 1/2 unknown trainees.

Do they just want minimal input with maximum profit?
I think some people here doesn't know Hybe is a company and they want to make money.
Not for you but here people seems like they can't think more than 3 second without suffering, because is not like Hybe is scared, scared of what?, is not like they don't have good trainees, they have the money, the most reasonable answer is that they saw the opportunity of launching a group that will sell a lot since their debut. Hell even Gfriend, who after they disbanded seems like everyone liked them here, couldn't sell 100k with any of their albums, and probably with this group just with their mini debut they can double that.
If you can't see why they want to debut a group with izones members is just that you probably want them to fail, because it won't go wrong and if it's just a unit with just izone it will go very well.

don't they have kcon or did have kcon when covid was nonexistent ?
Kcon aren't just performances?

For the ones who don't know what the E3 is, is an event for the video game industry where companies like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo announce their upcoming releases like new consoles and games, and usually it lasts a week and players are usually really hyped about it.
I think it would be really cool to also have something like that in K-pop, imagine a week where the big companies make conferences to announce new comebacks, groups, content...
Imagine YG doing a conference and showing a concept trailer about the new BB comeback, same for BP and ending the conference with "one more thing" and then they show the new GG.
