I assume there must be high demand for Idle because Yuqi is very popular there. Nice to see these groups about to make a lot of money. I wonder if companies are scrambling to add China to their tours.
Some groups might have a new lease on life. I wonder if a group like Everglow can bounce back due to having a Chinese member who spent time in their entertainment industry
Her vocals 
enjoy 
Qwer - They defied all odds in becoming a successful group. Most people thought they would be a gimmick and not amount to much but they've been a disruptor in the current kpop landscape. I am not sure how people they are internationally but they seem to be very popular in Korea
Dreamcatcher is amazing. They are one of my favorite groups. I think it helps that they have a strong international fan base, and seeing them get a win was one of my favorite kpop moments ever. Watching a win like that shows how much it means for groups from a smaller company when they win
This is very messy.
I assume Hybe feels they're still under contract and they don't approve of it. They want them to pay a penalty fee, but the girls said they're out and rebranded.
Personally, I think they should let them go, even though none of their girl groups would reach the height of NJZ. I think there's no way the girls can come to an agreement with them. Dragging this on is only hurting Hybe's other girl groups. Hybe is creating a group every other year and a BTS comeback will recover their losses without NJZ.
I like Hybe's girl groups and NJZ. This whole situation is messy and they need to let go because it's only damaging their other groups
I think they’ll do the opposite to Lsfm but then that could mean another cute/innocent gg in 5th gen
If they try to do another early gfriend concept that will be another school girl concept
I think another option would be a rock/punk concept! Something similar to Gidle Queencard and Tomboy! Bratty/punk vibes which I think Lsfm do in parts of their songs but not fully fleshed out
I hope they aren't doing a cute/innocent gg concept because the market is over flooded. We already have Illit, Fifty Fifty 2.0, the new starship and SM gg, and I am sure more to follow
A rock/punk concept would be cool and I am surprised only Dreamcatcher has attempted that. I guess there's a risk that kpop fans might not be that fond of that concept, but I want to see more groups dabble a bit into rock.
Something like Billlie's song Ring Ma Bell would be a killer concept
Source does have the ability to make that type of music becuase Le Sserafim b-side captured that
Excited for this. I thought they had a great 2024

Girls Never Die
Is she going to attempt a solo career?
I like midnight fiction a lot. I think that's their best song
She really should be so much more popular and well known than she is
It's the issue with being in a nugu or mid level group. You have a lot of members that get under-looked due to the group's popularity. There are plenty of idols in that tier that would thrive if they were in a popular or big 4 group. A lot of kpop is about luck and an idol can have the ingredients to be succesful, but it doesn't matter if they're in a group in this tier.
Some idols in this tier go viral, but it's very short-lived. It's why something like Kiss of Life is rare. They were nugu, went viral, and was able to maintain momentum.
It feels cruel to call an idol ugly. It might sound a bit shallow but a kpop company would not debut an idol if they're ugly. The issue here is most likely styling because that can correct a lot of things.
I do like her tone. I think sometimes she picks the wrong songs as title track because it doesn't showcase her talent
I am unsure why she releases so little music. It feels like the black label is doing her a disservice.
Not necessarily
I think Hybe's ultimate goal is to have a girl group to cover every area to undercut the competition. These groups are all planned in advance, so I don't think Illit being polarizing matters much. I think we'll only know if the 2 new groups have a similar concept to Illit. I assume Illit focus will be the Japanese market, but unsure which concept they will tackle with their new groups.
I think it's a mistake to have that many groups active at once and debut them in such a short time.I think the issue is Hybe doesn't care and they want to undercut the competition
Sadly they never came to my city
She looks like a toy sitting next to Yao Ming.
He's a giant. He made Shaq look small lol
Nice. She's a huge fan of basketball. Also, nice to get a signed Tatum jersey. Too bad LeBron didn't play
