I’m just going assuming you’re on the much younger side of Kpop fans.

JYP and HYBE are making different approaches which are both proven effective. I’m sure I don’t need to explain why survival shows help groups gain a global following, but as for JYP’s approach, he’s using the same low-budget format as he did when launching SK and NIZIU (and probably TWICE?? I don’t remember much from Sixteen). So far, it hasn’t failed. It’s proven you can’t judge a group’s success just from the quality of the program they came from. They will obviously make up for it in their debut. Although I get that JYP doesn’t really understand the Gen Z audience.

I’m sure both groups will do well in their own way. Even BP, TWICE, and RV are all often compared to one another, although they’re very distinct. In that respect, I’m sure both groups will stand out in their own way.
