2024 K-Pop predictions (1 Viewer)

[StirFriedPanda]

Kep1er
Kep1er will not renew it's contract and will break up because 143 Entertainment won't let it's girls renew. 6 members might remain to form a new group (doubtful).
Limelight will grow by 2-3 members from Kep1er. (I wouldn't be shocked if Huening Bahiyyih leaves IST and joins LimeLight or... read below)

Kakao
IU will drop a full album.
Kakao will begin combining it's smaller subsidiaries to navigate the consequences of it's scandal and a difficult economy.
IST will file for bankruptcy. Eunji will join EDAM and Weeekly will go to High Up Ent and be STAYC's sisters. I think there's a really small possibility that Huening Bahiyyih could go solo under EDAM or High Up. I think it'd be fun if Huening Bahiyyih joined Weeekly but that's just me being delusional...

JYP
Lia will leave ITZY for good. I've had an especially bad feeling about her going on hiatus. ITZY will continue as a 4 member group
2024 will be NMIXX's big year. I recently became a fan. Lily is an amazing vocalist!

Loona
Loona will make a comeback as a full group under ModHaus. (This is a lot more realistic than anyone thinks and I think the ground work for this was laid almost immediately after all the Loona contracts were terminated. There's clue's in the Air Force One, Algorithm, AND Sensitive MV's.)
BBC will sue Loona again. And lose again...

YG
YG will throw all it's eggs in the Baemon basket. It's stock will continue to fall after investors and fans realize YG put BP back in the dungeon and has no plans for them as a group. In an effort to stop it's stock losses it will throw together a terrible BP comeback and go bankrupt.

Not the Itzy one...
But I still wonder why Lia is none of the songs or music videos when Jeongyeon and Mina were at least in the music videos and in the song when they were on hiatus. 😦

 

[Belgizen]

YG
Will promise comebacks but will delay them again. We'll get the cb after months of silence

 

[RainbowMoon]

I doubt that YG will go bankrupt. Blackpink isn't their only group. I have a slight feeling that they'll actually try to treat BP better since they secured them as a group and them not renewing solo contracts was a wake up call to the company.

But then again, this is YG we're talking about.

Same...I don't even want to think about it 😦

 

[RainbowMoon]

There will be a big scandal that will change the general perspective on an idol or group.

I guess it just depends when what was done, if they were forced to do everything just after she left, it might become to difficult to postpone everything.

Maybe because she didn’t feel well enough to participate? I don’t think it’s unusual

 

[Moguri]

Don't be too worried Ningi friend, he rarely has any basis for the speculations he makes and I do not remember much of what he says ever coming true

Also JYP has a great track record in recent years of idols returning after mental health break!

 

[RainbowMoon]

Yeah true. She must've went on hiatus while they were recording or getting ready to record for the new releases. That would be the only real explanation...unless...

 

[RainbowMoon]

Yeah, probably. I mean, mental health is hard to speculate on. It's a complex thing that doesn't like to color in between the lines. The only thing we can do is hope for the best and wish her a safe recovery.

 

[Moguri]

Yeah true. She must've went on hiatus while they were recording or getting ready to record for the new releases. That would be the only real explanation...unless...

I'm not sure I'm confusing it, but one group had a very tight schedule recently and had to do pretty much everthing in one week, I think it was Itzy

The problem with YG is the only thing that drives their decisions is them having 100% control. They do not have 100% control of BP any more and won't know how to navigate this. YG is heavily I debt. If their stock price falls to low it can require them to make impossible cash payments against that debt and drive them into bankruptcy regardless of how well other idols are doing.

The unusual part is how quickly it happened and how silent its been since. ITZY marched on with a new album without missing a beat. I hate to say it, but it feels like this album was planned without Lia and planning had to start before Lia went on hiatus. I hope I'm wrong but it's how I see the dots connected.

Ah, I see. Now that makes sense now that you explained why you predict this. 😁

I agree this album was probably planned without Lia and they indeed already start before her official hiatus
But that’s probably because they knew about her condition for quite some time and knew that she wouldn’t be able to participate in the comeback

 

[Belgizen]

I feel like we'll get to see an NCT127 member dating.
Judging their recent content, they are starting to be more open about it
they talk a lot about dating shows and drop hints what their style of dating is, it seems

Idols should be able to date!
