I was really upset when the final lineup was announced. I don't want to outright call the members "untalented" but there were so many trainees who deserved to debut instead of some members. imo yunah, minju and youngseo were the only ones who deserved to debut. the other girls can improve but it still pisses me off that the talented trainees didn't have a chance to debut just because of their age and visuals or whatever reasons. At the end of the day none of these girls deserve hate.

Maybe MHJ always go against HYBE's decision and complains to them vocally. I guess HYBE realized that they cannot control MHJ easily and only wants a YES-man person on their company so they want to remove MHJ ASAP.

[@celiarose8791]

Here's my opinion: HYBE asked MHJ to be CEO in Ador and promise her to make her own female group concept. When MHJ was ready to debut NewJeans, BSH hold it so Le Sserafim can debut first. Probably he thinks that Le Sserafim has Sakura and will get more popularity, means more views, more sellling albums, more money. Then MHJ debut with NewJeans, finally! It become success, new fresh concept, catchy songs, the icon of that year, really stood out among all other concept. But.. BSH didn't expect NewJeans will surpass Le Sserafim, he doesn't want to 'lose' and make ILLIT debut stealing NewJeans concept, thinking he can make more money and also 'crush' MHJ's work.

[@mariamfaizul2839]

Mhj wanted to have nj to debut first but she ask for the debut to be postponed because of certain things so bang pd said to have leserrafim debut first because there also other sublabels under hybe that was supposed to debut and so they debut leserrafim who was under source. As a big corporation and had many sublabels under them, hybe must also consider other sublabels and not just ador/mhj and before mhj create ador, she is also from source. Hybe allowed her to create ador and she even take one of the girl from source to join nj. Even all that was given to mhj, she still complaint, thats really is something. Both illit and nj are under hybe so theres no copyright issue taking place because they are own by hybe.

[@sanjaykumartripathi7200]

No one in their right minds will invest soo much if they think the group will "flop" NEWJEANS and ADOR recieved massive investment of that time. It was mhj who decided not to debut newjeans first because it would create pressure on girls, she said that in an interview in 2021. Source music was going bankrupt and mhj already took some of their promising trainees under ADOR, so source music had to hire sakura and chaewon. Ador was trademarked in 2021 march, while sakura and chaewon joined in August and November 2021, after which it was decided to debut lesserafim with other trainees who had less training (kazuha-6 months) source music would've gone bankrupt, and there would not be any lesserafim today if they decided to delay the debut.

The problem with hybe is that it wanted to become the biggest kpop company and compete with the big 3, and it did succeed in term of monetary, but hybe have to understand that this big 3 companies were not created in a span of 2-3 years. It has taken a lot of effort and time to reach the top. Maybe if bighit has remained with bts and actually waited for the right time to debut new groups by properly training them it would have been better, but i guess bang was too greedy and wanted to reach the top with shortcut method and he is paying the price for it now.

You said it all. That's exactly my thought. Big hit was at its climax when it was only about BTS and TXT. Both groups were ruling kpop and had original concepts. But once Hybe was created, it just became a factory, debuting tons of groups.

When people choose popularity over talent this is gonna happen at any cost

[@tiredbylife.5589]

They should have waited to debut them: First, they should have worked on their skills. They are K-Pop idols not J-Pop idols (J-Pop idols prioritize their charisma over skills generally. There are exceptions but if you look at the most successful idols, 48 family (AKB, SKE, etc), you get what I mean). Their vocals should at least be average when live. We are not expecting 5 main vocalists. Secondly, they should have made sure that the concept of the group dis not overlap way too much with one of the most popular girl groups in the industry at the moment. Thirdly, they should have waitrd with the pre-debut activities because I remember the girls getting hate from being invited to Paris Fashion Week when most people didn't even know them. It would have made more sense, at the time, to send LS or NJ. Fourth, from what I had watch of R U Next?, there were more skilled and loved trainees than the ones that debuted in ILLIT. I still believe that the lineup was rigged. Their original sixth member was talented af. But, in hindsight, it's for the best.

[@Unknownandbyes]

I don't think they were ever praised group. Since their survival show they were the most hated members. It was called rigged show for a reason. I was a one of viewers who has watched whole show and it truly hurts not to see potential members to debut although I accepted the group final members hoping they'll bring something but their company and the group themselves just won't get out of controversies

Heck I even turned off smart shuffle entirely just because of that, HYBE is just known to be incredibly aggressive when it comes to their stream numbers so in regards to the payola accusations you really can't deny because there is some truth to it.

Normally I wouldn’t believe the accusations about Bang PD being biased against NJ because he didn’t produce them, but I’m actually starting to believe it. His lack of photos with them, no congratulations, NJ’s parents claims that he won’t accept their greetings to his massive difference of the promotion budgets of the two groups when they debuted. Damn, that man is petty.

[@angel_t3338]

Not saying this is true, but with everything that has come out so far, it wouldn't be the first time that a man's pride is bruised because of a woman's success. Now there are just too many similarities to New Jeans from song sound, styling, Paris fashion week and choreography that has lead to this copycat label and it's all on Hybe, but Illit is just the face of it and now they are going to have to work their way out from under that label.

Show me photos of BPD with other groups as BTS. Why are photos with BPD so important? Get real, the girls got millions of won or even dollars straight after their debut. They and their label reside on the top floor of Hybe. Don’t tell me they were neglected. And they never acknowledged Hybe in their stage speeches. But okay, yes, it is really horrible not to greeted by the CEO.

[@tsh9584]

we don't know what's going behind the scene about Bang PD having no photos with them. MHJ already had beef with Bang PD before, it is possible that MHJ keeps NJ away from him since the beginning, and parents refused to talk with hybe instead they release a letter publicly. only MHJ stands in the middle of HYBE and NJ.
