No because they’re nothing but exploitative. Even if all the members are grown adults that doesn’t mean they’ll be comfortable doing a concept like that.

Sign has risen to #114 on MelOn daily! I’m so proud of the girls!

Quote from Yama-Chan

Twice

BLACKPINK

NewJeans (the highest since SNSD)

Good talk.

Newjeans being the most recent is interesting.

And before you guys say “It was a different time it’s hard to-“ IDC!

Try your best and tell me who at least comes the closest to being as big as snsd in their peak in sokor.

Jungeun’s voice is so good!! Definitely one of the best singers in 5th gen

izna’s sign has risen to #122 on MelOn daily charts!

Quote from bartkun

there is rumor that Girls Planet 999 season 2 will be broadcasted in 2026

I always believed that survivals with more trainees attract more attention

I-LAND 2 had just 24 girls

just 10 girls were in final

even with that pretty nice amount of people watched that final live

but to multiply it

what they need is to take 99-109 trainees

and make sure it will be a bigger group

one or pros of IZ*ONE was that group had tons of members

there was 12 girls

this means more drama in semi-final and then in final

the main goal should be to keep people interested as long as it's possible

so maybe create something like Universe Ticket had when Elisia got upgraded rank and made her a confirmed group member before finale

another good point would be like it was in survival shows where trainees got ranked in grades/classes and aimed to go up but some of them also got downgraded during show and later on needed to buckle up and fight for better spot to survive

Mnet should definitely bring back the larger lineups. Idk why they even have survival shows with a vast amount of girls only for 7 or 9 to make it…feels redundant.

Another 11 or 12 member gg for a survival would make waves.

Izna has reached another new peak of #127 on Melon Daily!

And it will tank. If I wanna listen to rap I’m definitely not going for khip hop

Quote from JiminieKookie

Kep1er exists

also they have the Japanese girlgroup ME:I too

And like I said, IZ*ONE was their last vastly successful girl group.

Quote from momamae

Agreed.

I also atribute Kepler's terrible management the fault for their struggles

Kep1er’s career trajectory can also be a domino effect into the decline in survival show groups success.

But I feel like that’s an entire can of worms on its own.

Quote from foreveraespaaa

Tbh I have a feeling JYP will skip 5th gen and start 6th gen gg! Like what YG did with BM and 5th gen

They have 4 active gg and now Niziu have started promoting in Korea I can’t see them adding another group

I think their main goal is managing their current groups! Maybe 2027/28 will be the start of 6th gen

There were financial reports of them debuting a girl group this year or next year.

Quote from momamae

I don't think so. MNET has let us down too many times.

Is it me or does survivor shows very outdated now?

I think they definitely don’t have the same hype as they did when produce was in its prime.

Mnet hasn’t really been able to bounce back from the rigging scandal (at least when it comes to their ggs) so who knows what the future holds

Objectively speaking, their last BIG survival show girl group was IZ*ONE.

Their popularity in korea was unmatched and they also made waves in asia, especially japan.

Since Izone’s disbandment no other girl group from an mnet survival show has really been as influential and successful as Izone was. So do you think if mnet does another survival show, will they get a girl group as big as izone this time around or has their luck run out?

Quote from Popper-of-Ks

You mean JYP's newer groups failing to surpass Twice isn't good. There's nothing inherently bad about Twice continuing to do their thing. They are one of the most successful groups in Kpop. If they were struggling mightily then you might have a point, but that isn't the case.

I think you’re misunderstanding my point.

Yes there’s nothing wrong with Twice still being successful this long into their career, I’m not disputing that.

But what I AM saying is that on JYP’s part, it’s a risk that none of their newer groups are getting as big or at least coming close to the heights of Twice. It’s not good that they’ll still be depending on Twice to comeback every year instead of one of their newer groups bringing in the profits.

Quote from BIGnorBANG

Couldn't agree more. TBH, Itzy hasn't had a cohesive concept since Guess Who? or Checkmate, so going for a bigger group might be a good thing, with a similar age bracket as to when Twice started out for the members, too.

And honestly a larger group like early Twice has been missing from 4th gen AND 5th gen (thus far).

That girl next door feel has been missing and jyp has a golden opportunity to bring it back.

Quote from Popper-of-Ks

You aren't given the reins, you take them. No one has been able to take the reins, which means they didn't deserve them. Given that Twice have already proven their ability to juggle all sorts of solo career ventures and still have regular comebacks as a group, this idea that they should be replaced "just because" is frankly preposterous. This isn't SM we're talking about here.

Twice being JYP’s main money maker when it comes to their ggs isn’t good either. Especially considering they’ve debuted two and neither one could bring in the profits Twice has.

Now before yall try and say “Well Niziu” I’m talking in terms of korean girl groups.

Anywayyyy…

JYP as a company are in an interesting position when it comes to their girl groups. Although they have ITZY and Nmixx, neither group has overcome TWICE or even come close to their impact and success.

All the other big companies have rolled out their new girl groups for the 5th generation (SM, Hybe, YG, Starship, etc) yet JYP hasn’t. And it could be bcs Nmixx is entering their 3rd year as a group but by the time Itzy were in their 3rd year, Nmixx had debuted.

Now that TWICE are entering their 10th year as a group, I think it’s high time that JYP debut their next large girl group and let them take the reins over from Twice. Twice has cemented themselves as kpop legends and yet they’re still the gg bringing in the most income for JYP. The Twice members are growing older and surely want to enter into other things like acting, modeling, and solos (which they’re doing already). Which won’t leave much room for actual comebacks.

So now, imo, with Itzy starting to debut as soloist and Nmixx growing older is the perfect time for JYP to debut another group with the “girls next door” feel that TWICE brought to kpop.

The difference is the timing of their debut.

Blackpink debuted in a time where innocent/cute girl groups were the trend so they obviously stood out with their hard hitting girl crush. + with them being the first YG gg in 7 years…they had a lot of hype.

Babymonster on the other hand, took forever to even release batter up after the whole survival show thing and then there was the issue with Ahyeon not even being with the group during the BU era (which is why YG media plays Sheesh as being the debut )

Anyway, the point i’m making is that Kpop wasn’t missing a GG like Babymonster since there were already groups like Gidle, Aespa, Le Sserafim, and so on. They added nothing new to the industry whereas Blackpink did. That’s what they have that Babymonster doesn’t.
