alleged HYBE internal reports 2022-1-26
VIVIZ
debut schedule
: The debut date has announced, it will be on February 9th. The title of the album is “BEAM OF PRISM”. Still, I think the agency paid attention to making the members look “pretty”, but it may be quite far from the aesthetic consciousness that we made right before the disbandment of GFRIEND. The company recruited many artists, not just VIVIZ, and it’s MC MONG’s company. I think these producers will make the songs that will be released.
: Speaking of which, Yuju, who went to KONNECT, made her solo debut and released 17,000 albums in five days. She made some media play about her teaser in a hanbok, and the title of the song is “Play,” with a tacky, gloomy melancholy oriental feel. And as the lyrics of the chorus, “-,” the result of her transformation from girlfriend to witch makes me sad, she even participated in the lyrics herself.

NMIXX
debut schedule
: It is scheduled to debut on the 22nd. The title song is called “O.O.” It is surprising that it will come out with self-replication of “T.T” from the beginning. It is also introducing a new genre called “Mix Pop,” which is so similar to TWICE Ooh-aah, that the company seems to be focusing on finding a replacement for TWICE.
: I think there were some stories about how pretty the members were when they came out before their debut, but when the teaser started, maybe it’s because they didn’t take good pictures, but they’re not pretty. There are already some likes and dislikes because it’s an esoteric concept like a mixture of LOONA and Street Women Fighters in the trailer video. And the video that serves as the opening before that is so similar to ENHYPEN‘s public intro video that there seems to be no minimum self-esteem.
Fandom seemed to want to see pretty and refreshing princesses, but it was a video that contained same as ITZY‘s excessive self-esteem, so there’s a bit of a sense of frustration.
:But the fans responded well to Weekly Idols’ surprise live video. It was introduced in a way that I wanted to see the members’ faces without much directing, but it’s a big problem that I can’t see the center’s faces. There was also a reason for the new teams that recently responded. It’s not as easy to be pretty on average as STAYC, and IVE‘s clear Wonyoung-Yujin two-top center is not common. If you ask who’s pretty in TWICE, each person has different preferences.
: Of course, apart from this, the music performance can be quite good. Since Kep1er WADADA continued to broadcast, it ranked in the top 100 every day, and fromis_9, which started in various disadvantages, also reached a higher ranking, so it seems that the girl group is still in high public demand.

ADOR girl group (New Jeans)
Instagram
: A red lollipop image was posted on Instagram account, and fans are interpreting it as a hint of the world view. HYBE’s original story ‘Crimson Heart,’ which will be released in May, and there was a prediction that it would be related to the world view of the team, so INSTIZ has some reactions.
:As Min Hee-jin Kids are still in the community, there is a mood with some guaranteed expectations in terms of design and styling. I think LE SSERAFIM can get synergy from the confrontation with this team when it comes to it, but it’s a shame that we’re not in a situation where we’re going to be in such close coordination.
:And overall, as the issue of the HYBE girl group is slow to progress, fans who want to update the news about the S team tend to show dissatisfaction little by little. It is a time when the weird logic of “Japan is better than China” spreads to the community, so I think Sakura‘s bowing in Hanbok could solve various suspicions, but I’m sorry that I can’t use the chance. Kim Chae-won’s fans are also bored because Yena‘s solo performance is going well, but there is no news.

Treasure
Recent condition
: The group is not even getting much attention on what I’m doing after the promotion. I heard that they’re going to do a dance cover contest for “JIK-JIN”, and the reaction video related to the event was uploaded. The team failed to create an issue power. If Big Bang‘s song had some fast beat, they would have released a cover, but it’s hard to get help from Big Bang. As a junior, they are the only team that can become an excuse even if they mention Big Bang, but…
An idol who cooks ramen
: Na Young-seok launched a new program with Hyun-seok and Ji-hoon. The teaser came out, and it’s a way to upload it on YouTube, where two people cook ramen at their dorm. Fans say Na Young-seok has good eyes, but it is the idea of recycling “The Man Who Cooks Ramen” and he has YG connections such as SONG MINO, and it’s sure that company put it in. And even from the teaser, the kids have no sense and no sense of wit.
DKZ
Comeback
: Songs, choreography, and music videos that have a strong “smell of small and medium-sized enterprises.” I was nervous when I saw the title “Love Thief,” It seems they were too motivated to do something that others didn’t do, so they didn’t review “Why others didn’t do it.”
: Set in the local town, the store sign is named using the members’ names. The song is incredibly old even if it comes out in the same month as INDIGO’s “Please Take Care of Summer.” Except for Jaechan, the other members are all faces that will fall off at the first quick ceremony when they appear on Produce 101.
: Nevertheless, pre-orders were reported to have exceeded 60,000 due to the “semantic error.” The first day sales were 25,000 copies and the initial sales were 1,400 copies. Since dramas were also popular in China, most of the albums must have been purchased to apply for a video call fan signing event. They wrote “Taiwan” on their official account during their comeback, which received complaints from Chinese fans.
After all, they deleted it and posted an apology, and the response was not good in Korea this time. It is all the more problematic that the CEO of the company is from Taiwan. It is understandable to lean on popularity in China rather than popularity in Korea, which may disappear any time. BL dramas will pour out from now on.

BTS
Las Vegas
: This performance had a strong feeling of ‘thank you festival’ for the members and fans, but it was resolved well as RM expressed his feelings with a big bow. International fans understand that this ceremony is a sincere gesture to express gratitude and respect, so they are thrilled that RM conveyed his feelings in the best way. Foreign dancers also bowed loudly at the end of the performance, and this trend exists.
:Jungkook prepared a lot for English on this tour. Fans were grateful when Jungkook spoke English at first, but now they are admiring Jungkook’s efforts and ambitions as a star. In this schedule, photos of V and Jin were also mentioned a lot, including paparazzi, but Jungkook was by far the most mentioned in the stage photos. Jungkook proved his presence as an artist on stage, not just as a team but also as an individual.
:There are no problems with the tour, so I think the press issue was controversial for a longer time than I thought.
