I’LL-IT
The five-member girl group under BeLift Lab (a joint venture of HYBE Labels and CJ E&M) is set to make a splash in the first quarter of 2024. Originally planned as a six-member group, I’LL-IT will now debut with five members – Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha — following the departure of member Youngseo. The group was formed through the JTBC survival program R U Next? and has been the subject of much anticipation and excitement.
KATSEYE
Details about KATSEYE, another girl group debuting under HYBE Labels, are currently sparse. However, we do now know that they’re scheduled to debut in the second quarter of 2024. KATSEYE is expected to bring a new vision to the K-Pop scene with their fresh lineup of talented girls. As with many HYBE ventures, expectations are high for this group to showcase a unique concept and sound that aligns with HYBE’s reputation for innovation and quality in music production.
TWS
PLEDIS Entertainment‘s newest boy group, consisting of six members, is stepping into the spotlight with their debut mini-album, Sparkling Blue, set for release on January 22. They kicked off the new year with a pre-release single, “Oh Mymy: 7s,” on January 2, setting the stage for their official debut.
The group’s formation under PLEDIS, a subsidiary of HYBE Labels, marks them as one of the most anticipated debuts of the year. With Sparkling Blue, TWS is expected to showcase its unique musical style and charismatic performances, adding a fresh flavor to the HYBE family.
