Quote from ZestyMochi

99.9% of these bullying scandals aren't true. Honestly the only one I think of that was true is the Mina and Jimin situation. The accuser will simply go into hiding once people start pressing them for details and more evidence.

I mean yeah the members and company's reaction made it very obvious that Mina was telling the truth. The problem with predebut bullying accusations is that it's almost purely word of mouth since there's normally very little evidence. And Pann loves witch-hunting so even if a hundred positive school stories come out only the one negative one will get attention

Quote from minigee

Maybe they are targeting the Japanese audience, who knows...

Japan loves SHINee already so they don't really need to do much to target them

If it was it was only at most pushed up in the year since i doubt they would have waited another year to debut Victoria

ITZY had quite the debut year though I'm not sure that applies

Post produce groups didn't flop because of the IOI members but because of the low effort nature of them. WekiMeki was built around Yoojung and Doyeon and Fantagio continued to only support them individually. If you looked at promotions and variety WekiMeki might as well have been a duo. Same with Gugudan. It really should have just been SeMiNa it made the other members feel like filler even if they were talented. I feel like I don't need to mention DIA. As long as the companies properly integrate them into the group there should be no problem. Pristin did this with Pinky and Nayoung and they most likely would have been a 2nd tier(popular non big 3) girl group if not for Pledis. If you don't think the new Starship girl group isn't going to be at least moderately successful you're tripping

WooAh looks the most wholesome but that might just be the makeup. Also the name CRAXY still angers me.

Me who thinks Suho is EXO's best visual seeing the members in the OP:

I know it's actually because her technique has improved and she's older but I miss Ningning's huskier singing

Espada

All according to SM's keikaku(keikaku means plan)

Not y'all thinking that SM cares about not sexualizing underaged idols.

Quote from patrik-k

Feels a bit weird to be if they would add more members, why not add them from start in that case?

publicity stunt. Also SM is obsessed with unconventional debuts for some reason

Quote from neixban

They can’t dance

SM groups or Aespa specifically. Because Aespa is pretty consistent dancing wise. They're not dance crew tier but none of them look out of place on stage. If you're talking SM in general then lol

Quote from baepsaechan

Not saying it's bad or anything but they are probably going to end up being like a GG version of NCT

SM culled all of their female trainees so I doubt they'll be that similar to NCT.

What did SM mean by this?

to elaborate the text says "Are You Ready?" "Here It Comes" "New Player"

Also the Tetris blocks are arranged with 4(current Aespa) on one side and 3(rumored Helen, Rino, and Ouju) on the other

At this point it seems weird that SM would add members but it's SM and the inclusion of this is very odd

also there's this that's more of a reach

update: There's also three planets here

The real question is why are/were fans/sasaengs so certain that this was the line up in the first place. Most times when a group debuts there's not constant and immediate talk of new members being added

1. Replay

2. Good Evening

3. MTTM

4. Sherlock

5. Dream Girl

We both know that SM is pushing Karina and Winter. As much as I hope this would be the case I know full well that SM will not treat the foreign members fairly

Soshi are the queens of variety. As for boy groups in my opinion NCT as a whole but specifically WayV and Dream. The lack of parental/managerial supervision makes for great content. Video related for example

Quote from reiusagi

Where you get that info from sis?

Yoo Youngjin's version of forever is played as a snippet in this video. Which was clearly just a placeholder. And the end of NCT'S Coming Home was supposed to connect with the last Winter Station release. But SM just scrapped it all together for two years. At first I assumed it was because Chen was meant to feature on it and the whole marriage scandal made them ignore it. But that clearly was not the case. It makes me wonder if there exists a version with other SM trainees such as Hina who got cut last minute.

So I really wonder why SM cancelled this as being a predebut single in 2019. This was clearly the last song in the Winter SM Station project. What's interesting is that Giselle wasn't even in SM yet. So was there a complete line up change and SM said nevermind. But why release it still Christmas themed in February

EXID are 3rd gen right? Definitely them. As for fourth gen G-Idle are the most naturally funny so far
