According to recent reports, Big Hit Music - the management company of BTS and TXT, as well as HYBE נαραи - the management company of &TEAM, are preparing to debut brand new boy groups.
"The company will have a lot of growth momentum next year, such as BTS's group activities and the new groups debuted by HYBE נαραи and Big Hit Music," the report stated.
Along with that, кσяєαn media also hinted that Big Hit Music will debut a new boy group in the third quarter of this year, 6 years after the debut of TXT. The third boy group of BTS's management company, a subsidiary of HYBE, has received more attention than ever.
On April 2, the new boy group was seen at the airport, returning to кσяєα. Through some photos compiled on SNS and their identities noted, netizens have a closer look at the new generation idols.
Surprisingly, this has sparked a humorous discussion, comparing the debut appearance of this soon-to-debut group with the appearance of BTS and TXT.
Specifically, some fans commented that when BTS and TXT debuted in 2013 and 2019 respectively, their visuals were quite "weird". Fans even thought it was the "loser phase" of the Big Hit Music brothers.
BTS debuted with a hip-hop concept, the members often wore thick eyeliner and popular street-style outfits at that time. Big Hit Music's limited budget plus the style, the members' visuals were not highly appreciated.
Meanwhile, TXT debuted after Big Hit Music had a large budget, but the style the group was built on looked quite "nerdy", "childish" and "too colorful" even though it was suitable for the members' young age.
When compared to the image of Big Hit's upcoming new boy group, fans joked that the group will skip the "loser" stage of BTS and TXT when they debuted. The new young idols are said to have attractive looks, good fashion sense, and perfect appearance.
Notable comments on this topic include:
- Saw BTS and txt debut pictures and let out a long sigh
- they ain’t debuting broke a** emo boys anymore
- They haven't debuted and alr look like celebrities
- Their predebut sights will be not like BTS & TXT for sure kkkk
- Even though I love BTS and TXT, I have to admit that their debut style was really unattractive. The new group looks more promising than their debut seniors.
- No more losers?! So sad
- They are OUR dorks okay! We go through the fase together!
- They don't make loveable losers like they used to.
- Their first red carpet better be soмєтнing like this (its a tradition)
- the leader better have dimples we have traditions in this household
- give me counterfeit clothes, eyeliner and a terrible color palette or do nothing
On the other hand, fans have been paying attention to Big Hit Music's rumored boy group for many months. Notably, not long ago, some images spread on SNS showing these new idols filming in Los Angeles.
Fans are excited to see James - a former trainee of Big Hit's Trainee A project - which went bankrupt in 2022 in the lineup of the upcoming new boy group. After Trainee A disbanded, James became a backup dancer for BTS and Jungkook in the SEVEN era.
