JYP Entertainment Rumored To Debut New Girl Group, K-Netz & I-Fans Worried About Future of Agency's Existing Roster
On April 17, netizens established an online thread titled, "Apparently, JYP is Debuting A New Girl Group."
The author posted a mysterious photo, which appeared to be the new trainees under JYP Entertainment, and was accompanied by a caption saying, "Babies are so cute."
"It's confirmed that they will be a four-membered group, and Park Jinyoung personally picked the members," OP shared. "Their concept would be similar to miss A."
OP continued, "They won't have intense-sounding songs, but songs that are easy to listen to. They said that their song would sound like LE SSERAFIM's 'EASY' if we were to compare with the currently released songs."
"They are planning to make their debut in January 2025," OP stated.
Korean netizens were less than happy with the post and directed their frustration towards JYP Entertainment for coming up with a new act instead of focusing on ITZY and NMIXX.
"JYP's producing and marketing are honestly hopeless. They seem to only trust in their pool of trainees."
"Before ITZY cemented their position in the industry, they launched NMIXX and before NMIXX finds their spot, they are launching yet another group. Is this a company that's in their right mind?"
"Can he take care of their existing groups instead? He's being such a jerk."
"No noise, and nobody cares. Try to save ITZY and NMIXX first before launching a new group."
"Please give NMIXX a good song instead."
International fans also had the same sentiments, stating how unwise it was for the company to launch a new group this early, given how NMIXX just debuted in 2022. Others speculated the trainees were an upcoming band. Read their comments below:
"I feel like NMIXX just debuted yesterday. This is such a bad move when they are yet to establish themselves."
"It's rumored they're a band."
"JYP can't stand competition and his groups not being on top of everyone, he's always greedy for more."
"NMIXX have only been around for 2 years? JYP is so unserious."
"JYP can't even promote NMIXX and ITZY correctly and he wants to debut a new girl group. This company."
Here's how netizens reacted on X (Twitter):
