1. When Sakura joins a rookie girl group, that group will be worth watching…ㅋㅋㅋ

2. Well, that means Big Hit has confirmed it

3. It’s always been like that, I guess when IZ*ONE’s contract ends, an article on the contract’s confirmation will be published

4. Seriously why?????? With Big Hit, they can choose many new faces and enhance them. Why???

5. Big Hit.. Why do you like Japan so much????

6. I bet it’s confirmed, they just don’t want to reveal it now

7. Bang Si Hyuk likes Japan

8. Sakura is popular in Korea, China and Japan, there aren’t many kids like thisㅋㅋ I guess that’s the reason

9. Sakura fighting~ Go to Big Hit and do better!

10. Well, They can’t say no. CR.

wait why are they thinking it's going to be a Japanese group? is Min Heejin’s girl group or whatever that is a Japanese group?

Interesting! I’m already very excited for Min Heejin’s group and the possibility of one of my fave girls being in it is pretty exciting. Although I kinda wanted Sakura to go back to HKT48 and promote in Japan/open her gaming YouTube channel again, but we’ll see<

The Min Heejin group is the bighit/source music collab, and according to Bighit's latest press conference a few months back the lineup has already been chosen so it's not likely that Sakura is joining. However Bighit held auditions for girls in Japan last summer and said that it was separate from the iland and ngg auditions and since bh japan is going to debut a jpop bg soon people connected the dots that bh is gonna make a jpop gg as well. tbh though, I think Sakura is just gonna sign as an actress.

I'm 100000% sure that if she joins BH she won't join the new gg. From what I remember BH has been interested in Japan promotions for a while now and managing Sakura as an artist will make things easier for them. 

IF she decides to graduate: Most successful members from AKB tend to have a successful solo career, as actresses or solo artists. Atsuko Maeda, Kawaei Rina, Yamamoto Sayaka, Kojima Haruna, between others have had a successful post-AKB career and contrary to what most think, no, they don't make photoshoots for """perverts""". What I'm trying to say is, a big agency like BH ent can manage her promotions and also join the Japanese market. Its a win-win the way I see it.

You know those AKB star graduated on peak AKB48 right? AKB48 havent been relevant for years, and it affected their alumni, her general public recognition in Japan is not that great. Aside that, Sakura fan follows her for her idol works, not other random gigs. Known insider already stressed that she could very likely debut in their next GG, they obviously know more than you or anyone. The noise marketing on her inclusion have already took off, i dont know why its soo hard for you to just be happy for her, shes still young and she enjoys performing on the stage, are you a threathened Starship trainee fan? That will be my deduction.

I'm sorry? Who gave you the idea I'm not happy for her? How am I a threatened Starship trainee fan? 

I'm just giving a prediction on what I think she's going to do, she can decide whatever she wants and I'll support her for it. Stop making imaginary enemies.
