B1A4's Sister Group to Debut in April!

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Hallyu idolgroup B1A4’s younger sister group will be entering the music industry.

On the 20th,according to the industry, it is expected that B1A4’s agency WM Entertainment will reveal their 8 member girl idol group in the first half of the year. Fans may be introduced to them as early as April with a mini-album released as their debut. In March, order to let people know of their debut, teasers will be revealed before they launch into their full-scale promotions.


On their debut album there will be around 3-4 songs, including the title song. Since last year, WM Entertainment has been collecting songs from various composers in preparation for the debut album.

Officials in the music industry who are involved in the album have said, “They are currently in the final difficult stages of placing the title song candidates” and also said, “They are ambitiously and meticulously preparing, so it would be great if you can look forward to it.”

The members have received at least 3-4 years of training at WM Entertainment and combine outstanding looks and abilities, becoming known as figurines. It is known that WM Entertainment has fine-tuned the trainees that they placed.

Around Asia, B1A4 has attracted Hallyu fans and have been reborn into top stars and there is interest on whether they will be able to receive the baton (t/n: like live up to B1A4 basically). In addition, it has drawn attention on whether this rookie girl group will be able to shine and differentiate themselves as well as become successful in the first half of the year amongst others such as Sonamoo and Lovelyz.

MTE!!! And I'm so excited for their interactions with B1A4. I just hope jealous fangirls don't come out of the woodwork ;~;

[polaroidsho-ts.livejournal.com]

i really really want jinyoung to produce for them or sthn ;A; or is that asking for too much haha
most banas tend to be pretty chill abt bipo w/ girls (albeit maybe slightly jealous in a cute way), like i dont think i recall any huge blow-ups - i'm looking at you jung jinyoung and all your kiss scenes hahah - it's one of the reasons why i really appreciate being in this fandom anw (':
but yeah there's bound to be a few hysterical ones maybe and ugh i really hope they get back in their lanes and not ruin the fact that b1a4 finally have official dongsaengs like HOW CUTE IS THAT SRSLY omg im so excited april feels so far awayyy

i heard a rumor a while ago that he is producing their title track. i wouldn't be surprised if he did produce a song or two for their mini

I'm really happy that, rather than seeing them as competition or saying nasty things about the group, BANAs are being so supportive of them. It's a heartwarming thing, and makes me love this fandom even more.

i hope they're good. wm completely rests on b1a4 so they do need some new acts. they should sign on actors/actresses, models and solo acts as well to diversify their portfolio.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

They're actually expanding and holding auditions for actors/actress/emcees etc so I hope good things are coming their way

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

yassssssss, also a+ icon. princess jieun looks so good and her solo was lovely

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Seriously she looked so gorgeous during her comeback ;_;

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

this is my first time hearing about this and am already excited. :) i need sandeul's solo too tho.

[mya13.livejournal.com]

srsly finally! i can't wait and im ready to stan if their music is as good as the stuff b1a4 releases! im always not pleased with the amount of members. big groups aren't my thing i wanted them to have 5 members but oh well ill take it. i really hope their concept is not a cute/innocent one or else ill cry.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually heard about this before, but I am so here for this! With BANAs pledging to give their full support to the group, I hope that means really great things for them in the future.

jfc 8 members?! That's very unnecessary, but hopefully WM managed to find a group of trainees that are as talented as bipo so were not having 4subvocal/visuals running around

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

How many debuts/come back in April? I wish them good luck

[shabirah.livejournal.com]

the 8 members part scared me a bit tbh. i like better if they only have 4-5 members.

yessss, i'm so excited about this. and hearing that Baro's sister might be in this group too? wow, i hope she is good. hopefully they didn't go for the innocent shy concept cuz that is so boring blergh~~~ and not too sexy too.
like someone have mention in OH, i hope they go for concept like Ladies Code used to do.
but most important for me is that they have good and strong vocalists like Sandeul Jinyoung CNU Gongchan and good rapper like Baro. no deadweight members please. and i hope that they are nice people with nice manners.

finally!! b1a4 is one of the best boy groups musically therefore im excited

also i noticed that in kpop whenever a new girl group is announced there is always a "but" but when a boy group is announced most people are like "yess give me now!!!" without any doubts

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

YEA I like every Bana out there, so fucking excited for this, I hope WM lets them do some of the ridiculous concepts B1A4 have done and doesn't force them into the cute/sexy thing, I want them to be able to be quirky.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! Hopefully we'll get Pink Punk this year too. I'm hf 2015 being the gg debut year.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised Banas are so supportive, considering how much hate the members of Dal Shabet got for performing with B1A4. But I hope the new girl group does well and I hope that they don't do the whole overbearingly cutesy thing.
