Hybe just released info about their next project group, which is going to be another global girl group. Any post about this so far has been flooded with confused, annoyed, and hateful comments by people. I get those sentiments, but I do question why it’s mainly Kpop fans (judging by the profile pictures at least) that are so upset about this, when this is literally just how fastpaced the kpop market moves.
Kpop companies have always been known for putting out new groups like factories and at quick pace, so why are they so surprised that Hybe is taking the very logical route of cashing in on their attempt at a global girl group, which is dominating social media right now.
Adding to this, I don’t know why people are surprised that members from the Popstar academy are joining this group. Do people forget just how common it is for idols to still debut in other groups after their first attempt of joining didn’t work out? Chaeryoung, Chaeyeon, Somi and Natty all participated in Sixteen in their hopes of joining Twice, yet still managed to debut in hugely popular groups themselves after this.
Yunjin got 26th place on produce 48 and still later managed to become part of a hugely succesful group. Half of the members from &team participated in I-land…
A lot of the times, becoming part of a lineup isn’t a showcase of who is the most talented, just who is most liked by the public, whose the most attractive (sad but undeniable reality), and who fits into the group the most.
Adding adding to this (lol), I do just want to say I find the overall reactions I’ve seen towards Emily disgusting, like did she do something to warrant all these comments attacking her appearance because I can’t find an actual reason? Very upsetting to see
