13 members is too much...they'll have to stop giving EXY so many lines then

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

13 members... sharing one song.

that's so many people. like seventeen is so fascinating to watch bc there are so many people.

i wonder where they will add her for MoMoMo.

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

What about those units that broke down to 3 ppl per each, and everyone representing a zodiac song?

[molly-hime.livejournal.com]

solo for yeonjung!

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

the only way I can see this truly working to each member's advantage is if they split the girls into subunits or something, at least for now since they're relatively new.

I'm here for yeonjung

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

oh my god yes!! i love her and i love wjsn im excited
is she like, ophiuchus? i had imagined that scenario but i didnt think this would happen

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Happy for her!! Hopefully she won't get shafted like with IOI. She's got amazing pipes.

i kind of figured that's the only approach starship has, they're not going to debut another girl group in a while and they need to capitalise on yeonjung's momentum from p101. i'm glad she doesn't have to wait endlessly in a basement and that starship didn't pull her from i.o.i just because she 'wasn't ready' for debut but to have her trained up to join wjsn.

clc gained some attention from eunbin becoming a member so i hope wjsn will also rise with yeonjung joining and dawon being on that singing show. they are such a fun group with huge playful personalities, easily one of my favourite rookie groups.

[mangomuffins.livejournal.com]

clc did not, they threw in eunbin and media played the hell out of it and their new song still couldn't even stay in the top 100 for more than a week

[mangomuffins.livejournal.com]

these companies don't seem to have like... any long term plans for these produce 101 girls. throwing in a semi-famous trainee will not suddenly make your flop group any more popular. i don't know why these companies are so scared of training these girls a little longer after p101/ioi and actually planning a thought-out debut for them, instead of squandering their potentials like this.

this this this

[contralilium.livejournal.com]

i'm glad that she gets the opportunity to be in a group so soon and get away from the awful treatment she got in IOI but I also don't think that starship is thinking about how to really make this work/successful. WJSN right now has a variety show on 1thek where they are building a fanbase based around the 12 girls and I hear that they're going to do a subunit yteen which I don't understand at all and are they gonna do anything with WJSN's original subunits?? The way Starship is managing them is so confusing but I'm rooting for them and looking forward to my vocal queens subunit Dawon-Yeonjung-SeolA.

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

i'm rly not up for a new member but i know i'll warm up to her soon 😩 these companies gotta stop messing w group dynamics tho

[lalaland-xx.livejournal.com]

Negl I hate this, yeonjung has so much potential and she won't shine on WJSN, I mean they're ok as a group but she will not stand out at all...

Now I'm scared DSP will throw chawkyung into April, she's been having way too many shcedules for a trainee but with april being just debuted last year I doubt they have plans for another group anytime soon...

[scribblyness-x.livejournal.com]

i think it's a bit different with dsp since they have a few more well known trainees with youngji, somin, chaekyung and shiyoon so it's not too inconceivable for them to debut a new gg, especially with kara's disbandment.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

this is a terrible idea so i must support her even more than before

EDIT: i want to elaborate that this is a terrible idea bc they (starship) is completely unable to manage the 12 they have. they can't even write songs where everyone has lines. they keep trying to use momentum like EXY, but have no clue how to do it. this feels like it's going to go a DIA/CLC/GX9 route rather than a Pledis Girlz route.

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

I just checked Melon for them, and they aren't in the top 100. I think Melon is the biggest music provider too.
They shoulda kept her in IOI and then sent her to some variety show while they trained her. They made her commit career suicide.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

with her personality her career is never gonna get anywhere so this is better than nothing tbh.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

is this a joke lol why would they ruin the concept/dynamic of wjsn by adding a 13th member. produce 101 continues to be a mess.
i'm not gonna only13 her or anything but i'm not here for this at all.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

the 13th constellation is an actual thing...

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

yaaassss her high notes are coming to snatch

[ineffabledesert.livejournal.com]

i have mixed feelings about this but mostly i just hope she won't get any more hate than she's already getting and that we'll get to see more of her and her many talents. also, i'm super happy she wasn't just randomly pulled out of the ioi subunit for no reason at all.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

actually I meant the 4 3 member units

[paravion23.livejournal.com]

People acting like seventeen doesn't also have thirteen members

[krunkri.livejournal.com]

lmao right

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Well that was quick.
Good luck to her and Cosmic Girls! And please start using those sub-units concepts

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[staaan.livejournal.com]

ok first of all... opiuchius is a lie it's not a legit thing this is such a pet peeve of mine lmao

2nd of all... they rly need to do a better job at making the girls stand out, to a casual viewer most of them are so interchangeable

[swegkitten.livejournal.com]

lmao i think this is a mess but ill cross my fingers for her anyway.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

this is some mbk realness...I thought starship was better than this

I guess I will have to stop irrationally disliking her now lmao. she's on a trial period

[cxxl.livejournal.com]

I kind of expected this. I mean a lot of the groups that are getting producer 101 members have been no name irrelevants who started last year maybe. They had no brand recognition, no power. Like it was more or less adding to a void. Same with Cosmic Girls to be honest. 13 members is a lot but a lot of the issue is more or less management and not the group itself so eh. I mean it was years before Sistar really were able to promote as individuals and not be Hyorin and them others and they only have 4 members. Yeonjung will likely bring in more attention (which I think they are expecting) and hopefully their comeback will gain some traction (along with Dawon being on that singing show).
