I figured Twice will prob have a comeback around Halloween like usual but yea they really need a break :/ Especially if they do more repackaged stuff around Christmas, I feel for the girls

Another boy group? Ohhhhh it’s the group with the kids, I’ll prob skip that lmao. And I’m surprised Somi’s gg debut might finally be arriving, I’m really curious about a new jyp GG group

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

if twice does end up making a comeback before 2018 ends, i hope it's on Halloween. in general, i'm not a fan of Christmas music (with the exception of Michael Buble and Bing Crosby's Christmas albums respectively because i'm old lol). but they seriously need a long and well-deserved break. their popularity won't die down if they just take a breather.

as for the boy group, for me, it'll depend on the debut song. i wasn't a fan of got7's debut single (but LOVED i like you) and i haven't heard a single straykids song (which i should do asap lol),

i hope somi makes her debut soon! i was really rooting for her during her produce 101 & ioi days, and was kinda disappointed with the drinking controversy and now she's laying low because of it. hopefully she pulls through because i miss seeing her on instagram and on tv lmao

sorry for the rant lol just needed to get this off my chest :P

TWICE is the main cash cow right now, they're bound to squeeze one if not two more promos out of them before the year ends. I do worry about their health though.

That boygroup is managed by a Chinese company and they already released songs before. It's just they haven't made their official debut yet just like Loona. Their MVs aren't published on JYPE's channel and no one talks about them so many people say they haven't seen them yet.

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

Still not on board with this pre-teen boy group. Smells like trouble all around.

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

i just wonder why jyp isn't focusing on his newer boy group .. maybe even got7?

Stray kids literally are in the middle on their 1st comeback right now! They are in full on, aggressive promo mode - multiple mv's, radio, music shows, variety. my stan self says so check out their mv for my pace and voices!!!

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

i'll definitely check those songs out after i come back from the hospital this weekend.

thank you :)

They're called Boystory and they're not a new group, they're managed by Chinese company Tencent: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZlgP_2MRnrPXRmqR5320BQ/videos

i really hope they don't somi's work group into the ground like twice. those girls need a massive rest.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Hopefully when JPYNGG debuts there will be a balanced schedule for both groups without either one being worked to the bone.

[oh-folk.livejournal.com]

I'm excited to see Somi finally debut with a group. She was great in I.O.I.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

i'm excited for shin ryujin and lee chaeryoung!!! hopefully if lee chaeyeon makes it into the pd48 debut group, the lee sisters can promote together, i think that'd be cool

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

And got7 just announced their cb somewhere in September also.

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

I just need Somi's group now tbh

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I also want Twice to get a break :( they could use a hiatus to work on a big, impressive comeback next year with a royalty concept like Girls Generation did with The Boys. They have a lot to do in Japan at the moment, they already had two successful Korean comebacks this year, their popularity is not going to vanish like that (especially if they keep having some occasional photoshoots/CFs/variety during that time).

Looking forward to Somi's group!!!

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Oooooh a royalty concept like The Boys would be amazing!! I bet they could totally pull it off.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Yes they would! And they're the current Kpop royalty so it would also be really appropriate haha. I think I've read that the next Japanese single is going to be more girl crush so it's possible that they'll come back in Korea with something along the same lines!!!
(Though I could be too hopeful too, I was hoping for WIL? to shake things up a bit and... LOL)

Edit: nevermind I've seen BDZ and it's still really cute lmao at least the styling is more mature?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Twice and their schedules remind me of T-ara when they were at their peak. Just comeback after comeback, schedule after schedules, no breaks - it took a scandal for them to end this. I don't hope that Twice have to put a hold on their career because of a scandal, but I also don't see then slowing down anytime soon. JYPE fucked up by not promoting the individual members more and giving them solo projects.

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of potential individually there, especially for reality and variety lineups. Unfortunately they're promoted as a package deal so nobody can really recognize individual members outside the fandom and they don't really have a mass appeal beyond the group.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

tzuyu was like one of the most popular members before her scandal, and then during shashasha sana blew up, but instead of promoting the individual members more the pushed the entire group. i understand that he wants to avoid another miss a/suzy case, but as lay would say, BALANCE is the key

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

When I hear Boystory it makes me think of Toy Story LMAO

[22-taken.livejournal.com]

At this point I'm only looking forward to Somi and Ryujin's group tbh

[wafflesnmilk.livejournal.com]

Even if JYPE is interested in squeezing the girls dry they could at least just take a small break from Korean activities and solidify their ground in Japan for a bit, they’re going to get to Taylor Swift’s level of overexposure :(

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

can't wait to see bb ryunjin debut <3

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I'm really excited for Somi's group. I've been following every bit of news about them and the potential lineup lol. I hope Lily M and Eunsoo are both in the final lineup.

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

JYP really seems to have their shit together and know how to make things happen...
