There's quite a few options Belift could take for the 2021 group

2nd boy group: Include some of the iland S1 trainees that didn't make the 2020 final line up. or could be entirely different trainees. 
Perhaps his group might will not even go through the iland show

A girl group: You're right they would be competing with the other girl group...unless they debut near the end of the year to qualify for 2022 ROTY.

 

This seems the most possible option imo because like I said, debuting 2 boygroups in a row would feel too repetitive and they'd also compete with each other since i-land group is possibly gonna qualify for ROTY 2021 too since they'll debut in october or later. And if it's a gg they'd compete with the gg under BH x Source unless like you said, they debut very late and qualify for ROTY 2022.

That means Pledis has 54 (72-18) trainees wtf ._. what do they plan to do with SO many people? Because it doesn't seem like they're gonna debut another group any time soon.

Lol who knows what Pledis has or had planned. Maybe they're at the first rounds of auditions. Haven't started cutting people yet...

Either way, i wouldn't be surprised to see many of these people let go eventually.

edit:  I noticed Belift has no trainees minus the I-land contestants. We know there's rumors about other group(s) coming from Belift in the future. So those trainees must be held in other companies right now (Pledis. SoMo, and BH)

I also think that's a good option.

Unless Belift don't care about the competition.  Getting two boy groups up running asap and making money might matter more.

I mean ,let's look at W1 and JBJ situation: One was clearly the more popular group but JBJ didn't do bad either. 

(JBJ was managed by Fave Entertainment, while CJ E&M oversaw the group's release production.)

Trainee debt will be a thing of the past for most big companies soon enough, it's a really good move where it's possible to sustain
