That was my reaction too but then i remembered that we saw the girls going to practice(?) with the boys? but i highly doubt it tbh, i mean, people have problems with nct imagine with a co-ed group... unless it's just a project group like SM THE BALLAD or something

I can definitely see that. Or something like Seoul Song to help promote both girl and boy trainees

Do you know if Happiness had a bside? I really hope they will get 1 or 2 bsides because for a company like SM, just a title track would be very disappointing

Happiness didn't have a B-side. Red Velvet's second single, Be Natural, was released a little over 2 months after Happiness.

I really hope, for SR19G's sake, SM does not repeat the mistakes it made with Red Velvet's debut:

The Happiness MV, after its release, was found to have an offensive image in one of its many scenes. So the MV got pulled and replaced a few days after the debut.
Be Natural was so different from Happiness that it got comments like "this should've been the debut song". Never mind that Be Natural was a remake and thus would not have been appropriate as a debut song.
The third single, Ice Cream Cake was released 7 months after the debut. SM waited a while even though they already had other songs recorded (e.g., Russian Roulette).

If we see the last 4 groups

f(x) : Digital single "La cha ta"
EXO : Digital single "What is love" korean and chinese version
Red Velvet : Digital single "Happiness"
NCT : 2 Digital singles released with one day of difference "The 7th Sense" "Without You"

OT but has anyone checked the trademark page? has SM trademarked something lately?

I just saw this so "Aparently naver confirmed SM will not debut a girl group next year nor a boy group, but a coed group" tbh When i saw the news i kind of thought of this BUT, that would be weird, and besides i rather not believe naver because we know they had been trying to hide some news with fake rumors, Also because i'm not too sure on how knetz/fans would react to a mixed group tbh

I feel like a co-ed group isn't likely, there hasn't been any popular co-ed groups really, even Kard lost their hype. It'd be way too much of a risk

NCT 127 debuted with a mini album so it could be a possibility

Same, if they want to do co-ed grp is most likely the senior artists since SM have done that for most of their 2nd gen artists

Yupuplover · Oct 1, 2019

At least somehow similar to what K-side is saying. (P.s is a thread, so I just saw the part "debut plan" so I post anyway is the translation of the key points of the article released by Business Post KR today

"first half of 2020 at the latest" Wow I was seriously thinking 2nd half for the girls but maybe the rumor is right? March SMNGG debut. So that means the new SM BG in the start of the year january-february maybe and then SMNGG in march? That's like really really close together. Like wayy too close. Or maybe I'm interpreting it wrong?

Well I think is not new that SM loves to have their artists' comeback coincide/close to each other. But i agreed with you that if they really debuting BG in Jan-Feb & GG in Mar is way too close is not good for both in terms of pre-promotion for GG & promotion for BG unless they intend to give the new BG variety shows. So, I think GG first then BG since they still will be focusing on their project bg unit. BG first then GG is still possible maybe not in Mar but Apr/May/Jun. There are 6 months for the 1st half of the year. SM can play around their plan don't forget they may include their other senior bg/gg into the 1st half of 2020.

I would be so annoyed if they ended up being a coed group. I want the girls to shine on their own and if they were in a coed group, chances are SM would favour the boys over the girls and they'd get barely any of the limelight. I'm still kind of annoyed about them debuting a boy group and girl group in the same year though. It just seems unnecessary, especially since they already have NCT who are supposed to have limitless members. If they desperately want to debut more boys, just add them to a unit in NCT or make a new one? Why debut a whole new group? I'd had been a lot happier had they saved 2020 for SR19G and then debuted the boys the following year

I don't know if there's any rumours about when the new boy group will debut but I want to say (I'm praying) that the boys will debut in the 2nd half of the year. Debuting the two groups so close together isn't really a smart move I would say. But who knows! SM is wild.

Yes, the picture of ning saying they know her was edited and she has a public Instagram where she posts pictures of nct when she answers to questions.... that's not something a trainee would do and they're not allowed to have public ig. Also the picture of this girl comes from out of nowhere, it could be literally anyone and the girl that was supposed to be her in taeyeon' s mv is a model. The Deyi we know most likely doesn't exist, like Emily Kim and other rumored trainees

Do you have her ig please

dnb · Oct 1, 2019

Debut in the first half of 2020, huh?

I'll bet this thread will be past 200 pages by the time they debut.

camille · Oct 1, 2019

Mochiface said:

I don't, I have absolutely no interest in her and as I said, I think that Deyi is entirely made up by someone who wants to have attention and therefore that the ig isn't real. Maybe someone in the thread have it

Edit: I searched for you and her current ig is this one: https://www.instagram.com/qing_07/ she used to have another one but it was deleted and proven to be fake

Well i hope the girls will debut on march, and the boys on may/june...Please SM don't debut them so close to each other....
