The worst part is we know the line up because half of the girls were not on TikTok before and all those who had TikTok you could rank them based on their followers and engagement and it's the actual ranking of voting.

It was, all SONES went to look which girl group didn't greet SNSD, they even went to Weki Meki pages to say the girls were rude and turned out on the WEME vlogs it was shown that Weki Meki was in the audience with banners and lightstick watching SNSD and went directly to congratulate SNSD when they came down of the stage, then when they saw that GFRIEND wasn't there it was how rude they were etc. To the point that Source Music had to put a statement that GFRIEND pre-recorded their stages and wasn't even there to begin with and the day after they brought that cake.

No we didn't. I don't care about no weki meki 😭😆

Is praying for a f(x) reunion becoming like a November tradition in China or something?

 

We can dream though!

Article | "Uncertainty Over Full BTS Group Activities Post-Military Service? Misinterpretation Leads to Confusion… Big Hit: "In Close Discussion" [Oh! Ssen Fact Bomb]"

 

 

As BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) members take a temporary pause from full-group activities due to mandatory military service, confusion has arisen among fans regarding the timing of their return as a complete group. This uncertainty emerged following a conference call discussing HYBE's third-quarter earnings, during which certain statements were misinterpreted, leading to misunderstandings.

 

On the 5th, HYBE's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Lee Kyungjun addressed a question regarding projected revenue for 2026 during the company's third-quarter earnings call.

A reporter inquired, "When BTS makes a comeback and goes on tour in 2026, how much revenue contribution can we expect from BTS? Will it be over or under 50%? Please provide guidance."

 

To this, CFO Lee responded, "You asked about the revenue proportion if BTS were to return as a full group. We are currently discussing activities for 2026 with the members, so no specific projections have been established yet."

 

He added, "Of course, a full-group comeback would generate substantial revenue, but simultaneously, we expect the growth of our other artists and new ventures to mean that BTS's share of revenue may not be as high as it was in the past."

 

However, only a part of CFO Lee's response—"we are discussing activities for 2026 with the members"—was highlighted, leading to increased fan confusion and concerns over the possibility of an uncertain future for BTS's full-group activities post-military service.

 

The question and response focused on BTS's revenue contribution to HYBE's earnings in 2026, making it somewhat misleading to link this to the exact timing of a "full-group comeback." Moreover, if a 2026 tour were to happen, a full-group album would likely need to be released in the latter half of 2025 to make this feasible. Given that the question was focused on 2026, there was no mention of activities in 2025, and the response was simply that plans for 2026 are still "under discussion."

 

Both the agency and BTS members have previously indicated that they expect a group comeback in late 2025, following the completion of military service. Their coordinated enlistments were, in fact, arranged to enable them to return to fans as soon as possible. Consequently, industry consensus suggests that a full-group comeback is unlikely to be delayed until after 2026.

 

In response to the situation, BTS's agency, Big Hit Music, told OSEN, "We are in close discussions with the artists about their post-military service activity plans. Once the timing and format are finalised, we will inform fans at an appropriate time."

XG videos always look too good. I wonder what changed cause their first two singles looked like the usual cheap Jpop girlgroup video and then they came out with Shooting Star 

[Hay Amores]

That new IVE song is weird to say the least.

like what is it? It sounds so cheap, the video looks even cheaper.

Wonyoung better ask for a refund. Their pepsi commmercial even sounds and looks better than this.

All the videos probably cost the same, it was just a software update.
