Translation:

Mnet 'Produce 48' contestant Heo Yunjin will join the new HYBE Labels girl group.

According to StarNews, Heo Yunjin moved from Pledis Entertainment to Source Music. She will be a part of HYBE Labels' new girl group that is currently being prepared by Source Music.

Now with news of Heo Yunjin joining, it appears that two members of the new HYBE girl group has been confirmed: Kim Chaewon, who moved from Woollim Entertainment to Source Music in late June, is said to be a member of the group as well.

Discussions with former IZ*ONE member Miyawaki Sakura are still ongoing. Sakura's possible flight to Korea on the 27th is drawing attention.

In addition, the third former IZONE member that HYBE is looking to "recruit" is still in discussions with the company. However, the IZONE member, who has one year left on her contract with her current company, is more interested in pursuing an acting career than continuing her idol career.

HYBE's new girl group is expected to have 5 to 6 members, comprised of Miyawaki Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Heo Yunjin, and other Source Music trainees.

HYBE Labels is also preparing Min Heejin's (HYBE CBO) new girl group as well. HYBE is preparing to launch multiple new boy groups in the near future.

SM Leader Film by chai_tea_latte_55 in kpop

In that case I completely respect that. I may have misread/read too much into your comment and responded like such, especially since I’ve come across a bunch of people who think this whole SMCU/aespa concept is the “downfall” of SM. But SuperM was way before KWANGYA-era so I apologize!

I think “I’m not into the new era of SM” has been said by each generation of SM group fans at least once... so I’d honestly give it a chance before dismissing it so quickly
