Yikes, that starts at 2:30 AM for me in MST. Hmm, decisions must be made...

Besides all the other great suggestions, you should of course check out anything I.O.I related, as Yoojung and Doyeon were members. There's a fan page with links to a bunch of everything I.O.I's done that the owner could find: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oIulLDGxYFm2VJ4aHqxRgJguO4mbHpHvZGwriUxysbA/pubhtml I still consider the "Whatta Man" MV the most well done of their 3 singles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOn5tSagerY Also (taking deep breath): Yoojung and Doyeon with KRNFX beatboxing a version of I.O.I's Very Very Very: And Yoojung was one of the MCs for the karaoke-style variety show Golden Tambourine, so there's a treasure trove of her performing silly covers in every episode. Here's a convenient playlist (not mine): (As an aside, I highly recommend you check out all the Golden Tambourine performances for everyone, because that show was great.) Some of my favorites: Yoojung singing "Red" by Hyuna: "Very Good" by Block B: "Joolae" by Lee Jung-hyun: Also, here's Doyeon and Somi doing "Abracadabra" by the Brown-Eyed Girls when they were guests on the show: There's also Yoojung's cameo in Chungha's performance stage for Hit the Stage: And if you want to go back even further, there's the Produce 101 stages, including the seminal dance cover to "Bang Bang" with Yoojung and Doyeon:

They're too young to go right into late-release 4Minute or 2NE1 material. I'm okay with them keeping a younger sound when the maknae's not even going to graduate from high school for 4 years. In fact, IMO it's detrimental to have the group go into concepts that are way older than they actually are. But 4Minute and 2NE1 were younger when they debuted, too, particularly 4Minute who debuted as all teenagers. I mean, WEME's debut concept is not that far off from 4Minute's debut as it is, and I can easily see them doing something like style too.

Curious, why does the official Weki Meki thread not have a Weki Meki tag?

Both of those schools are in Seoul, so it's easier for idols to attend because it's nearer to all their promotions. SOPA and Hanlim are arts school as well, so idols can study more idol-like things; for instance, Yoojung majors in practical dance, which I doubt is on the curriculum of a normal high school.

Sooyeon's the one on the far left in the yellow/blue/black sweater. Sooyeon's wearing a long sleeve top with a silver middle and neck line, with shorts. She starts in the back left and is the one who starts the first line of "Mamma Mia" (which is a lip synced dance performance).

I like how Aurora sounds in English, but you have to remember that R and L sounds can get mangled when transferred to Korean. I don't know that I really want the new group's announcement to be, "We're Olola!"

Pretty wild that TT has so many views so fast. it should actually break 200 mil in about 3 weeks at its current rate of views.

"TT" just passed "Gee" and is within 6 mil or so of passing "I Got A Boy" to claim the title of most watched girl group MV on YouTube.

Twice's "TT" just passed 2NE1's "I Am the Best" to become the 2nd highest girl group on the Most Viewed list behind Girls' Generation. They're still gaining something like 500k views a day judging from the stats graph on the MV, so they should pass "Gee" this month, too.

Gonna be a close thing to see if Knock Knock beats TT to 75 mil. From eyeballing the stats I think it's off by a day or two at its current rate. Should easily take 2nd place if it doesn't though.

Also the 100 million image.

Not sure how often you update the Most Viewed table, but it's worth noting that "Cheer Up" has passed "Overdose" and is close to passing "Dope" as well. "TT" has jumped ahead of "Like Ooh Ahh" and "Mr. Simple" and will likely nose past "Call Me Baby" and "Loser" by early February as well. "TT" is still gaining something like 800k views a day judging from the YT stats, so it could hit 150 mil views as early as March.

Just wanted to pop in to add my support for Astro. I first heard of them at KCon LA (after giving away my audience ticket to a fan), and honestly I watched the "Breathless" MV first because Yoojung was in it as a fan of I.O.I. (Side note: that girl needs to be the center of her Fantagio group when they debut.) But "Breathless" turned out to be super catchy, and I've come to appreciate the upbeat, clean aesthetic that Astro has. Autumn Story is a solid album, and while nothing is quite as catchy as "Breathless" was, I'll still be adding it to my playlist. I do wish Astro had chosen "Lonely" as their title track instead of "Confession", though; the "Hello, hey hello" chorus is a superb hook, and the song soars more than "Confession".

Minor typo in the last chart: "Super Junion".
