#it does seem like there's more rumors lately and a hybe report toward the end of last year indicated a debut in the first half of this year

with every passing year it's more and more likely pledis will debut a new bg, which is always a topic i've found of interest to speculate about. especially since it's been so long since they've debuted a group and we've yet to see a 4th gen group come out of pledis (excluding fromis_9 who didn't originally debut/form under pledis)

lately i've seen some rumors/talk about whether or not the new bg will be self producing or not. personally i think it would be very odd if they didn't have any aspect of self-producing given that basically every other pledis group has. kahi hand-picked members of after school and from my understanding picked and directed a lot of their concepts. nu'est and pristin also had members involved in songwriting. it's also my understanding that some members of fromis have been involved in writing lyrics after joining pledis as well

svt are by far the most involved in producing compared to the rest of those groups, but i think a strength pledis has is allowing it's artists more creative freedom than a lot of other labels do, and i think they're well aware atp that it's something they can capitalize off. it's hard to say if whatever new bg debuts will be as involved as svt were from the get go, but i would be shocked if they didn't have any input at all. i just hope fans and/or pledis don't put too much pressure on a new group to live up to svt though. it would be great if they could put out another completely self-produced group like svt but i don't think it's realistic to expect every new pledis group can achieve that...

#i feel like i sound argumentative in this post but i wasn't trying to be #it's literally just random thoughts lol #i haven't seen anyone being weird about the self producing stuff yet actually #but then again a potential new pledis group isn't on most ppl's radar since nothing official has come out yet #it does seem like there's more rumors lately and a hybe report toward the end of last year indicated a debut in the first half of this year #which there have been hybe reports predicting a debut for 2021 and 2022 as well so it doesn't really confirm anything #but it was interesting it specified 'first half' which i don't remember seeing any other time #it's also possible they ARE gearing up for a debut but #but it's still far enough out that things could happen to delay it to later this year or next year etc. #we'll just have to wait and see #but it will definitely be interesting one way or another #melia.txt
