If it's really true, I don't understand why would she do that? I mean there's no news whatsoever about Loen debuting another gg but MBK? Shannon, one of my favorite artist hasn't even gotten a comeback yet this year and she's just chillin... And then theirs also Dani. I hope Janey is not gonna be like Dani who hasn't even debuted. I just want to wish her the best of luck, hope her and Dani at least make a trio group with Shannon or something

It's probably true. Girl Group Zone doesn't usually post rumors just actual articles that are 99% of the time reliable. Even though they don't give the sources at least it doesn't just post random unfounded rumors all the time.

Anyway I don't think MBK is thinking of putting Shannon in a gg. I think this is more indicating a solo career rather than an MBK new gg. But this is just my feeling and I can very well be wrong.

 

Also this may mean Loen doesn't want 2 rappers on their group.

I don't know about a pre-debut/survival show. Imo it has already proved to only work for big companies that already have a fanbase willing to care about their trainees. If you are not one of the big 3 I feel like it's a waste of investment. Aside from Monsta X I don't remember another survival/predebut show from a smaller company that actually gave the group a good popularity boost when they debuted. Not to mention right now we just had so many of these types of shows that the Korean public is tired and not interested in it anymore. It can always unexpectedly blow up and help them, but personally I think that has a very low chance of happening.

 

It would definitely be better than nothing, but I think there are other ways to create hype and promote your future girl group. I think despite costing a lot of money what Loona has been doing is working for them and something like that would be better than a survival/predebut show. Any kind of pre debut exposure to showcase the girls, their personalities and talents not to mention give them some experience before debut so they can be more polished when they eventually start properly promoting is a great reason to do it imo. I agree V channel would be good and don't get why more companies don't take advantage of it. Unless naver is just too exclusive with whom they let have channels, which I don't think so because a bunch of groups that aren't too popular have channels, I see no reason not to.

 

Trainee life is very volatile with girls and boys coming and going all the time for several reasons, so Loen's plans could have been made impossible for several reasons, if they even had one. Also investors and the company management themselves can have had doubts about anything. Just look at Star Empire girls or Fantagio girls to see how hard it is to actually plan and debut a girl group, specially if you don't have the money SM, YG and JYP have.

 

I wish Loen would at least let Soyeon be in some shows like you guys said. It wouldn't have hurt to let her go on God of Music or Unpretty Rapstar, but in the end there are just too many variables that we don't know that could have contributed to them deciding not to.
