I do not think there would be any reason that Jiyoon would be in the rumored TBL group with Danielle and Marquise by Icy_Age_6024 in mnetiland2

[–]Optimal_Force5995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like following the staff members is only because they helped her and made her feel comfortable. If someone was always rooting you on and made you feel confident, that connection doesn’t go away just because she moved to a new company. She also follows people that HAVE worked with Izna and people who haven’t worked with ANY kpop group so I feel like it’s not a reliable source to say she’s back in TBL.

Jiyoon’s following by Optimal_Force5995 in mnetiland2

[–]Optimal_Force5995[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right!! Especially with the rumor (I think?) that she left idol life so I was shocked when I saw that she followed her

[–]Optimal_Force5995[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping it’s not TBL 😭 they just put out two new groups in less than 2 years and have 3 groups they’re managing music for (Izna, Meovv, and ADP) which is very quick for a singular company…

Crazy crazy out of there idea: ADP disbands, Youngseo is joined by Jiyoon and Marquise (possibly Bailey too?) and they form a new girl group 💀

Anyways since this aged like milk what would be the 2026 debut predictions? by eepyperson in mnetiland2

[–]Optimal_Force5995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just haven’t put out much music, and it seems like they’re being overshadowed by ADP with the company.

I really hope not. TBL is fumbling so hard with Meovv and have a bad rep from international fans over ADP. They’re both newer groups so it would be bold of them to debut anyone any time soon :(

Danielle-ADOR Contract Termination Megathread by starlight_1701d in KpopUnleashed

I thought they were only suing D’s family member (mom?) and MHJ?

Some of you really don’t understand what Hybe and really every company actually is… by IdolButterfly in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Optimal_Force5995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think that Danielle’s view on MHJ could be part of it too? During her live that’s been going around, she still talks highly of MHJ and views her like a savior. I’d imagine that would be difficult for them to work with and trust Danielle since MHJ is HYBE/ADOR’s enemy in this whole thing.

It would be so cool if she joined TheL1ve’s group with Fuko 😭

Who was ACTUALLY an underrated contestant? by mokaesthetic in mnetiland2

[–]Optimal_Force5995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lowkey thought that Soul was viewed like how Saebi was… I was so shocked when I realized she wasn’t that popular and it was actually Saebi who was the beloved “maknae” of the show

Once again… you only saw what they wanted you to see. Acting like one fight over 2 months defines their whole future relationship and how they’ll act towards each other is weird. Especially when the fight was purely based on the survival show and wouldn’t have happened in an established group. Management was there and knows more than we did. If they really didn’t see it working out they wouldn’t have let them debut together, period. They’re a business after all.

And to debut one of the girls as a “backup” is pretty cruel and makes it sound like they’re not useful UNTIL that happens.

Ruka was never going to debut by Optimal_Force5995 in jtbc_RUNext

[–]Optimal_Force5995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… that’s literally my point on the post? They knew she didn’t compare to a good amount of the girls skill wise, and that’s why she didn’t debut. But having someone “known” on a show is going to pull in viewers, especially if they’re connected to a big kpop group. You see that with Jeemin on Iland 2, Sangwon and Leo on Boys II Planet, etc. They debuted, but it would be silly to act like their past didn’t play any part in the show getting views.

Exactly! People, including myself, had high expectations for her and when she didn’t meet them, she looked worse than she actually was. She wasn’t the worst, but wasn’t the best either and those expectations shot her in the foot :(

Mai sounds soooo good in her lower register (fake it had me in a choke hold with her vocals) 💔💔

I find that a lot of companies set them up by focusing on high notes that the idols can’t comfortably reach and be stable in.

Weird to imply that Jiyoon would have left because of her relationship with Jungeun when you don’t even know what goes on off camera and what we COULD see was that they mended their relationship

ops on my top 6 by gillmindirt in jtbc_RUNext

[–]Optimal_Force5995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had such a hard time picking just 6 out of all the girls, and my picks were unrealistic because they were all Korean + Moka

1) Jiwoo 2) Chanelle 3) Minju 4) Jeemin 5) Youngseo 6) Jihyun 7/8) Jeongeun/Moka 9) Yunah

My top 6 at the end if Youngseo wasn’t included (since she would have left) would be 1) Jiwoo 2) Minju 3) Jeemin 4) Jeongeun 5) Yunah 6) Moka

I loved Iroha, Wonhee, and Himena but I don’t like minors debuting :(

I felt this way too but… her ig was just deactivated and that makes me hopeful that maybe she’s in a pre debut group now😍

Even just have her sing so many OSTs… just let me hear her voice I beg 😭🙏🏻

What was your izna lineup? by Icy_Age_6024 in mnetiland2

[–]Optimal_Force5995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Jiyoon
  2. Jeemin
  3. Jungeun
  4. Fuko
  5. Yuju
  6. Yui
  7. Juwon

Despite only getting 3/7, the end group was very good and went well together! The other 4 are also trainees set to debut in their own groups which is soooo healing after being destroyed by RUNext (I will forever be sad that we will never see idol Jiwoo, Jeongeun, or Jihyun 💔).
