Watch this just be mediaplay to get fans invested and then they still debut as a 7 member group. It would be brilliant marketing  

It is definitely media-play and all 7 girls will eventually debut in the group. It's a marketing tactic to make the audience more attached to the members, since people will now root for a specific or all members to debut, which will create more buzz in general.

 

JYP did the exact same thing with Stray Kids where every member was introduced through a pre-debut reality show airing on Mnet, and they even released a pre-debut EP. But somehow JYP decided to remove 2 of the members (Felix and Lee Know) from the lineup, to then suddenly making the public vote whether Felix and Lee Know should debut with the group or not. Then of course the public voted yes to Felix and Lee Know debuting in Stray Kids, since they were already attached to them and then Stray Kids debuted with all the members.

Boygroups are safe atm but I think in general kpop is moving away from large groups. 

Not even boy groups are safe anymore. The only reason why groups like SKZ (8 members) are thriving is because they debuted in 2018 and are already established. A new boy group debuting with 7+ members in todays Kpop will flop.

Do you think Nmess is still in the race? atp I think even StayC have a better chance than them.

They just don't work as a group, there is nothing interesting about them tbh.

NMIXX are already bigger than STAYC globally though due to company privilege alone.

Well Mrs. Jisoo is cooking good meals for iftar & Suhur with JS1 that's why

Maybe that's why YG might kick Haram out out and cancel her debut in BABYMONSTER since Ramadan is approaching?

YG know what they're doing with these "twist" because let's be real, Baemon's rollout so far are really uneventful even for YG's GG standard 

 

So they did this to get the people talking 

[Xalric]

Sorn just confirmed clc did not disband, they are working behind the scene to find a way to work as a group again... Might be why cube decided to be petty and reuploaded clc page with Seunghee, Yujin & Eunbean only.

 

And as for Baemon YG might have pulled out the 2009 and 2008, since it's too young to promote oversea.

 

[Pluto6]

Maybe the "N" in NMIXX is standing for "new"?

NewMIXX in your area 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

SKZ being #4 and almost outdoing every release so far this year with with a Japanese album  Btw, they would've debuted way higher if they didn't release the title track a whole month earlier

This has been around way longer than that. LSM started pushing the idea of rotational groups back in the mid-2000s. Super Junior were supposed to be a rotational group but fans were already invested in the boys because they were famous pre-debut so the fans forced them to include all of the members and scrap the rotations. It happened with Red Velvet, too.

 

YG is just being smart as hell and knows how to get people engaged. I didn’t watch half of the BaeMon debuts but I started watching immediately after his announcement.

[Dialamba]

YG best marketing strategy in kpop better than JYP leaking OO 
 

 

no one was tuning in then they said we will cut some members. Now everyone is rooting for the Yunjin&Garam clone and Lisa’s daughter

What significant group has released this year that's not above skz (&their 10 track album vs the others with 5 or fewer btw)?

This. Releasing fearless in Japanese is so lazy 

but on the other hand the Korean version already did sth their so it makes sense releasing a song you know the gp will eat up. 

[fauxtography]

ok the twice preview kinda looks like a full on RESET

agree

although I'd gladly eat up Antifragile in Japanese

[Hazy]

slaying effortlessly  I hope they won’t release any of their previous singles in Japanese, the Korean versions already did their thing 

 

edit: or maybe they should release Hype Boy to make that song even more iconic
