I'm scared that after all this love I've given Helen, she'll either not be at SM, not debut or debut with the next girl group after SRG

She's def seems to be in SM because the deletions and her dance is debut-ready I think whether she'll debut w these girls depends on her overall performance stability which we don't rly know... but I personally think that she was cast w the intention of being possibly added to the line-up as companies usually cast for their next same-gender group shortly after they debut rather than 3 to 12 months before, although I wouldn't be surprised if she became the next Koeun.

Today is officially 6 years with SM Rookies Lami Sis we'll get you out of there

Helen is a good dancer, but she could definitely do with some work. I doubt she'll debut in the new girl group. SM will likely already have an idea of who they want to debut, at the very least most of the members and I personally feel like she's just not ready. Their debut is heavily rumoured to be happening in Spring next year and I just don't know if that'll be enough time for her to polish her skills in preparation for a debut. It's probably for the best to save her for the next group. She's still young and I doubt the wait for the next girl group will be as long as it has waiting for a girl group to follow Red Velvet

“The standard trainee contract regulation that was enacted in September ensures that a trainee’s contract period does not exceed three years, making it easier for them to debut or move to another agency.”

Koeun, Hina, Lami & NingNing:

Really puts it into perspective...

"Not exceeding three years"

Ningning: Training since March 2016, will be four years this March
Lami: Training since 2013, will be seven years next year
Hina: Training since 2012 (ish), will be eight years next year
Koeun: Training since March 2011, will be nine years this March

I think since it’s a new regulation, that means anyone who already trained longer than 3 years will be given the choice to leave or resign a 3 year contract that ensures they’ll debut in that time

Guys I just saw on Twitter some people commenting on Helen having a Instagram page but when they found it she quickly locked it or deleted it, you guys know more about it?

It's still up but she changed her @ like two days ago? But it's also been private for a few months as far as I can see. I found a cached Google page of it and it was definitely private in September. She had deleted all her posts since then, though.

I just saw that tweet and thought it might be something about the girl group trainees but I'm not going to clown myself until it's officially confirmed.

At this point...we are just waiting for SM to drop something....everyone is waiting for them.

I got a question for you guys, do you think SM will introduce any rookies in the rest of December or in January? For me, I would say probably January.

I feel like if we're looking at a March debut, introducing any rookies is pointless unless they aren't debuting with the girls. I mean sure they would get exposure but why waste time introducing them as rookies when you could just tease the group

You do have a point there but to be honest, I would take anything as long as they debut.

I completely agree, anything is better than nothing. But I think if any girls are revealed as new rookies odds are they may not be for this girl group. I mean Koeun, Lami, and Hina have been rookies for years, Ningning as well despite being released quite sometime after. And while the boy rookies do debut a lot faster, Kun waited a long time for his official debut, Lucas and Jungwoo also waited for a long time, and then Xiaojun, Yangyang, and Hendery all waited about a year or so.

I just think it'd be counter productive for SM to spend money on rookies photoshoots then have to shoot debut teasers a month or two after for a potential March debut. But hey, SM has proven they can make dumb decisions before so who knows

 

[itzy]

I’m honestly over waiting for new rookies I just want them to debut idk if anyone else feels the same way
