They may have wealthy families that could get them higher places but that in of itself isn't nepotism. Sunny's uncle being CEO is true nepotism. 

Well yes, but most of the time the families are/become connected to the companies their children are in even if they don't have power within the company itself.  Like Chenle's parents are heavily invested in Label V which managed WayV and Jaehyun's family are involved with SM Entertainment US.

If the Asia tour was confirmed then we're gonna expect lightstick and full length album comeback before March after the Monsta X comeback cause there's no way they're going to tour with just 7 songs (6 songs and Queen of Hearts) and without official lightstick.

It’s going to be a Fan meeting tour in Asia I think. SS is already planning to sell 72k seats in Japan. 
 

Plus their next cb in Q1 is going to be a mini, so a total of at least 10 songs in their discography + special covers stage

I’m sure they’re coming back in February. (BP did have a world tour with like 9 songs )  

- Light stick reveal next month. 

I think an Asian tour is too soon but I guess it will be held in small theaters.

In some cases, it's the difference between a decade of having boy groups that smash in a specific part of the world versus a boy group that smashed beyond that scene.

I actually expect IVE next cb is gonna be a full length album. As much as I hesitant to bring SISTAR over again, IVE release sequence was very similar to SISTAR with 3 singles album within their rookie year and SISTAR next cb So Cool was a full album that released in August 2011 14 months after their debut in June 2010. I wouldn't be surprised SS repeat the release sequence on IVE given SISTAR was SS first successful group and IVE was smashing and popular now. 

 

I'm expect a mini album sized new tracks (Queen of Hearts Korean Version being one of the new track) with the title tracks and selected b-sides from the previous 3 single albums that made into their full album.

Spotify Global (12/26):

 

#34 Ditto - 2,305,471

#75 Dreamers - 1,565,813

#87 Antifragile - 1,318,042

#93 Left and Right - 1,263,448

#94 Shut Down - 1,258,305

#145 Pink Venom - 1,058,191

#153 Hype Boy - 1,036,408

 

Antifragile's longevity is impressive. It deserves to break every single record. I just can't enough of it. 

 

I need another IVE smasha soon too. Now that I think about it, I'm glad they didn't have a comeback this month.

I'm expect a mini album sized new tracks (expect Queen of Hearts Korean Version being one of the new song) with 6 existing tracks from the 3 single albums that made into their full album.

A collapse if we get a full album I just hope SS will stop being cheap and promote their b-sides and the most important the album has to be good.

Well we're expecting IVE cb after the Monsta X cb next month probably around February because of the rumored Asia "tour" on March-April.

They better have Love Dive 2.0 title track for Valentine's day and goddesses theme and concept.

 

In the meantime, apparently there's a demo leak and well I have no comment on this cause the beat just goes nowhere so I hope it's a fake leak.
