OMONA Predictions 2021: the reveal + share your predictions for 2022!



Welcome back to our annual prediction post here at OMONA, which is already in its fifth year! Wohoo! Never thought that I'd continue this series for so long but I clearly have no life and we're still in the middle of a goddamn pandemic so any distraction from the chaos going on outside is a welcome change. If you're like me and have nothing else to do right now you can check out the previous prediction posts and have a good laugh: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
As always, share your predictions for next year in the comments below!



TRUE


  • Aespa will continue to rise. The girls and their beep boop bitches had several comebacks this year with one of them taking their success to the "Next Level".

  • Ex-IZ*ONE Kwon Eunbi to debut solo. After Izone disbandment she opened the "Door" to her solo career.





PARTLY TRUE


  • EXO will make a group comeback. The boys did indeed come back with a new album and, to everyone's surprise, Lay found some time to participate in the recording and even sent his CGI brother to the MV shooting.

  • CLC disbands. While Cube still hasn't formally announced the disbandment of the group yet, members Elkie and Sorn have left both the group and agency this year and Yujin participated on Girls Planet 999 where she confirmed that the group is technically done.





NOT TRUE


  • Dreamcatcher will get their first music show win. The girls had 2 comebacks this year but sadly none of them got them first place on music shows. Maybe next year?

  • APRIL finally gets a breakout hit. Well, the group definitely made some headlines this year but not with their musical output. Instead we got a bullying scandal and the girls have since been on hiatus.

  • BTS will have a dating scandal. Every year we're hoping for one and this year we could have had it aaaaaaaaall, but... nope. Jungkook did have a rumor with Lee YoonBi but that got denied real quick. V got photgraphed with a chaebol daughter at an exhibit but that god also denied.

  • Lay leaves EXO. Again, we're wishing for another exodus every year but he's still part of EXO (and even participated in their comeback this year!). However, his contract ends next year so fingers crossed that I can finally check this one off the list in 12 months.




Another shitty year is over but thanks for keeping me entertained during these though times, OMONA. Wishing you all the best for the new year!

I've never really done this before but!

- INFINITE will finally have their post-enlistment era comeback after Myungsoo is out, and South Korea will eat it up
- FNC is going to push more SF9 members on broadcast dramas bc of the mess with jhi and sd, and someone's popularity blows up by playing the second male lead of a KBS, MBC, or SBS drama
- SF9 surprise 2nd full album before 93z enlist because it's FNC and they will take any opportunity for selling merch
- fromis_9 wins on a public broadcast music show and gets their first full album
- Kep1er will have 2 comebacks and a special single this year, and a member will feature on another artist's MV, which leads to chaos among fans because it's not their fave
- A TWICE solo debut? Maybe Jihyo or Nayeon?
- RV's KR comeback gets pushed back to the 2nd half of the year because of solo schedules

I would LOVE an Infinite comeback. Plus Hoya...but that isn't likely to happen, sadly.

Yeah, the odds are pretty low for Hoya joining, though they did increase by 0.001 percent because he's no longer under Glorious Ent. now

I wonder if he regrets leaving Infinite? I know he left because he wanted to do music he liked, but he hasn't put out that much since he left other than like a few songs? Then he went to the army. I understand that Woolim is a shit company and they probably kept pushing his requests of a solo, though. I wonder if the other members keep in touch with him? I think Sungkyu has mentioned him a few times, but I can't recall if the others have.

Yeah, I've always wondered that, though looking at his list of activities, he was really busy with dramas, a musical, and mentoring on Dancing High. As far as I know, Sunggyu's been the most vocal about keeping in touch with him?

Oh I forgot he was on that dancing show. Didn't know he was dramas, though!
