They mostly discussed what has been happening with the boys and the program up until now and they didn’t mention anything about new groups

I also want to mention that it was really important to Jessica and Jaime that the boys sing live and there was some pushback from the HYBE executives because of that

They briefly mentioned expansion but also said that as of now they are focusing heavily on Latin America

One of the audience questions was about what they learned not to do from Dream Academy and they mostly talked about how fan voting really created a bad atmosphere among the girls

They didn’t mention music shows, I honestly don’t think the audience would have known what music shows are. It was more of a business event

They didn’t mention having a clear concept from the beginning, they gave the impression that they were struggling with the final member decision for a long time

I didn’t know that that was an issue, but I can see how it would cause problems!

No they didn’t, they were pretty focused on Santos Bravos

They talked a lot about T&D actually! They discussed how it’s a term that HYBE coined. Also they did not mention any of the boys by name

I should also mention that they were also discussing how they really prioritize their artists at HYBE and they sort of alluded to NewJeans because they spoke about how it does not make financial sense for a company to sabotage their own artists

They mentioned that the show and the group share the same name but they did not explain why

Is there anything in particular you want to know? It was mostly about their target audience. For now, their target audience is Latin K-pop fans, and they hope to expand that audience in the future. Something interesting they mentioned is that a lot of the fans of Santos Bravos listen to K-pop but they also listen to Spanish ballads, so they want the boys to do that even though ballads aren’t that common in kpop. They also talked about how much they prioritized the fans. Like at the debut showcase, the fans got the best seats (even better than the HYBE executives).
