Is it possible any Pd48 japanese girls will pursue a KPOP career?

[GuardianofTheCosmicRealm]

Like Juri Rocket Punch, Miyu Mystic, Sakura, Nako and Hitomi IZONE? If you ask me, I would like to see Murase Sae!

Edi: Forgot about Chiba Erii in UHSN. Just a one time thing, but still she got to showcase herself in Korea once again.

kinda wish for Shitao Miu but thats only because i dont keep up with her group lol

 

[tokki]

I mean, considering there's already quite a few that you listed, I'd say the chances are fairly high to see more of them give it a try.

Really hoping for Miyazaki Miho, she also loves Korea and Kpop and whatnot

Honestly, I totally see Sakura Hitomi and Nako returning to Korea to promote and do other activities once Iz*One is over. It may not be anything huge, perhaps a few variety show appearances and etc.

I wouldn't put it pass Sakura to try and bust out a solo though. That girl seems ambitious, and she'd have the numbers to back it up. A major Korean company might try to pursuade her or go knocking at her door since she has no official Korean company to return to. It might be best to stick with OTR though. At least then she'd be around familiar faces.

i guess i could see some of them becoming trainees and debuting but i don't think it would be too many of them at all

Ok i kinda never thought of that and now i'm getting my hopes up ​

Would love to see Miho, but doesn't her age stand a little in the way?

That will be awesome

She looks young tho

Dont forget Honey Popcorn Mikami Yua formerly of SKE48

Maybe.

It's hard to say because of how different idols are in Korea and Japan. The Japanese contestants got a taste of that during the show and I think some liked it but imo most were taken aback. I think the ones most likely to do so have already done it. Them being Miyu, Juri and Erii.

To me it felt like a lot of the girls were there just because they were forced to varying extents by their companies (AKS, Yoshimoto, etc).

Myao likes Korea and K-pop, but at this stage in her career I think she doesn't want to start from scratch in Korea. She has a comfortable life in Japan, a decent position within AKB, even if she is stagnated, and the chances of her making the same money she makes in Japan by moving to Korea is very low.

Miu is getting some push in Japan after the show. Way more than anything she ever got before imo. She might think about trying to make it into Korea, but I doubt so. With the current political attrition between the two countries, her getting more love from management in Japan and the Korean fans still supporting her in AKB/team 8 I don't see much she can gain by trying to make the jump.

Moekyun is graduating but I don't think she wants to be a musical performer anymore. Iirc she said she wants to be a model. She already has a little bit of recognition in Japan so I don't think she would try to be a model in Korea. Of course she wouldn't refuse an offer from Korea but I would assume she is going to focus on Japan where there are a ton of magazines looking for models.

A lot of the girls are doing fine or better in their groups now and have really no reason to skip over the pond. The girls that graduated for the most part either don't want to be idols anymore, are already looking into capitalizing on their fame in Japan with some doing that already.

Some of the younger girls might in the future want to try it, but I don't think the chances are high. In the 48 groups they at least get paid even if some not much. Having to upend your life to be in the debt system in the Korean idol life doesn't seem like an enticing choice unless you really want it with a passion. Which is imo the case for the ones that have done so right now.

Girls like Tomu, Saho, Miru, Sae, etc, have no real reason to do so when they already have what would be considered mid to top tier idol salaries in Korea where they are in Japan.

You're probably right, but I do think many of them would like to join IZONE to boost their popularities. Because it means they don't need to leave AKB48 to enjoy the full extent of working in Korea.

Except they did have to leave their groups. Even if they are coming back at the end of the Izone contract right now they can't fully participate in their groups activities. Having said that I do think that seeing the success of Izone the majority would have taken that deal. With very few exceptions it would be a huge bump in both popularity and salary to be in Izone. The only ones that joined pd48 that I think wouldn't get a bump in either are probably Jurina and Sakura.
