by the way, seems like the insider got aeri right, which makes me wonder what happened to the remaining three girls on that list

why do I feel they were dropped bc it'd be too hard to animate

Probably...

I'm also wondering if some girls left or got kicked because they wouldn't consent to having SM own virtual copies of them.

I mean the rumor was Hina signed a debut contract and then left anyway...if we lost her all bc of this stupid idea

 

[Bellamy]

I don't know what to feel right now....i was ready to accept any number but 4 because people will compare them to BP....and now it's happening so more hate to the girls...
I will ignore the AI thing...i didn't understand and i don't care....i'm here to support real girls not animations...
I guess the target is young people? But still this is weird...

 

[AstroBaby]

I wonder if this is a sonic movie situation where they drop something purposely awful to build hype

 

[Hara]

So what
​

 

[She]

The Virtual Waifus thing is also likely to bring in a whole lot of really creepy fans...

Sorry for spamming with so many posts but I'm honestly shook right now, and not in a good way.

 

[AstroBaby]

So what
​

so is this a unit situation???? also I've connected the dots....the 7 dancers are the animation references aren't they-

 

[punknight]

Really really really hope it's more than 7
I don't care about the avatar thing lol I'll pretend that doesn't exist

 

[Vintaege]

So out of hundreds of trainee these are the top 4? I'm have huge expectations from them. They cut and cut the trainees until these girls were left.

 

[Benu]

So what
​

I see 8 ...
1 girl alone - 3 - 4 and they have shadows (that I think it is the AI)

Same.....in small groups, you can't have filler members.....so i'm expecting A LOT....

 

[Bellamy]

So now some are saying that Shining Star was the hint for this......

Spoiler

 

[SwolMingyu]

I really don't know how to feel about this whole AI thing... but I hope there's more than four. I'm tired of small girl groups

 

[Bellamy]

If they are really 4, Ningning is the maknae.....

 

[AstroBaby]

I just I rly feel like sm shot themselves in the foot in terms of general public popularity out of some sick need to be experimental and appeal to a tiny subset of rich saesangs...and it seems they'll girl crush and appeal to the west?? (which also won't work bc they'll also think the ai is creepy) and is what everyone else is trying to do. I get the need to seem cutting-edge but you can still do that and still seem f*cking normal txt is great example...

 

[She]

I wonder how knetz and cnetz are reacting to this?

 

[AstroBaby]

I mean they were saying the teasers were countryfied...so I guess SM won on that bc they definitely can't say that anymore-

 

[punknight]

Lol I said it wrong above
I meant to say that I hope it's more than 4 members

 

[AstroBaby]

Realization: apparently SM said they're debuting as 4 "for now",, what if it's that + another unit of 7 (teased in the background) that then make 11. aka: all the rumors were true at once.
