I’m kind of wondering if there’s really a point in this. Yulhee has been out of the group for almost two years and the group is five years old already. I’m not against what they’re doing, but why did the company wait this long to add another member?

They're only gonna be a Japan exclusive member, a few groups have them, like Nu'est for example. Personally, I think that if you're gonna go to the trouble of finding a new member, you might as well just add them in full time.

I don't think it's gonna help them...

But why?

I think they should include the member in all activities too. I understand wanting a member for Japanese promotions, but why not include them in Korean promotions too?

But why?

I guess it’s to help them with their Japanese promotions. I still don’t see the point in it.

Honestly, I don’t either. They’ve only had one music show win and they barely have any recognition as it is. :/

Probably so they don't have to spend a bunch of time teaching the new girl Korean... I still think it's a bad idea though

 

[Evergreen]

I feel a bit bad for the Japanese trainee who is going to be selected. I would personally feel like a left lover if I was added just for the Japanese promotions and in top of that in the group where members know each other for so long now.

I’m interested to see if having a Japanese member will gain them more popularity in japan if that’s where they’re planning on promoting

Nu’est has an exclusive Japanese member I never knew this also who are the other groups

 

[Evergreen]

at least it's not like a reality show where you get eliminated but u get brought back and added to the group when the other members made it through and you fell like you don't belong

Yes I agree. And I don’t know why they choose to eliminate someone that they plan to reintegrate anyways. It’s mostly for making believe to the audience that they have a choice to make.

whats the point tho​

NU'EST M

NU'EST M is the subgroup of the South Korean boy band, NU'EST formed in 2014. The group consists of NU'EST members, Aron, Baekho, JR, Minhyun, Ren plus one Chinese member from Yuehua Entertainment, Jason. It's said the 'M' added to the existing name signifies several meanings, such as 'mystic'...

Ohh are they still active

I dunno...

 

[Jichuus]

Ohh are they still active

No as Yueha’s partnership with Pledis ended (don’t blame them on that ). But it’s still kinda sucky as the members meant for foreign promotion are region locked and when they try to promote in Korea, they don’t get the same love.
