Kim Garam has just been "excluded", HYBE immediately launched a new girl group with Vietnamese members?

Many people were surprised when HYBE's new girl group - NewJeans debuted just 1 day after the company terminated the contract with the scandalous girl Kim Garam.

On the evening of July 21, HYBE caused a stir when "beating" the new girl group project. Without front and back, without releasing member information in advance, the company released the MV Attention introducing a 5-member girl group called NewJeans. Although the specific information about the NewJeans member has not been revealed much, through the MV Attention, many people consider this to be a potential group of HYBE in 2022 after the girl group controversy with LE SSERAFIM.

NewJeans is a special project of HYBE CEO Min Hee Jin (former SM creative director) who directs the entire process from member selection to planning, music, production and choreography. Each member of the group has a distinct, modern and personal visual.

The point of view of Min Hee Jin - who sets trends instead of following trends, talks about the inspiration to create the girl group NewJeans: "Pop music, like clothes, is an inseparable part of culture from life. our everyday". NewJeans is expected to become a symbol of a generation - where people never tire of reaching.

New Jeans consisting of 5 members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Haein will release 4 MVs in a row for the debut album to be released on August 8, sharing the race in August with a series of top Kpop girl groups such as SNSD, BLACKPINK, etc. IVE,...

In particular, many speculations that NewJeans' member Hani, born in 2004, has Vietnamese nationality is making Vietnamese fans extremely excited. She has a "strangely beautiful" face, which is expected to soon possess the same luxurious aura as Jennie (BLACKPINK).

Many netizens hope that NewJeans will get rid of the curse of girl groups from HYBE.

As the company that created the success of the global group BTS, luck did not smile on HYBE when it launched girl groups. Since GLAM - the first girl group of HYBE to suffer because of a member involved in a labor circle, had to disband, once again, HYBE's girl group has faced controversy.

GLAM

GLAM was the first girl group of Big Hit Entertainment (later HYBE) to debut in 2012, co-managed by Source Music. The original group consisted of five members Jiyeon, Zinni, Trinity, Dahee, and Miso.

Not long after debuting with Party (XXO), member Trinity suddenly left the group. At that time, Source Music explained that the reason Trinity left the group was because of personal schedules. However, people are speculating that Trinity is a sasaeng fan of Super Junior's leader Leeteuk. This member is accused of harassing Leeteuk until GLAM's debut.

After that, GLAM continued to work with 4 members. Thi Phi did not stop when in January 2015, member Dahee was sentenced to prison for blackmail and threatening A-list actor Lee Byung Hun. After Dahee was convicted, GLAM officially disbanded and announced the contract with the company had ended.

GFriend

As one of the most promising 3rd generation girl groups, GFriend owns a list of national songs such as "Me Gustas Tu", "Rough" or "Time for the Moon Night". In 2019, GFriend was "acquired" by HYBE, making many fans expect that under the investment of a big company, the group will have more potential for development.

However, only 2 years after returning under the management of HYBE, GFriend suddenly announced their disbandment in May 2021. Many of the group's schedules have been canceled, and HYBE has faced criticism from GFriend's fans for neglecting GFriend's activities, even being called "a company specializing in destroying girl groups".

Eunha, SinB, and Umji have now returned with the new line-up VIVIZ, but during the time when GFriend was ignored, fans were the ones who understood how hard it was for the members. SinB's sharing about GFriend knowing that the group would disband a month before the announcement date, and the members crying while watching a fan-made video made the audience feel sorry for the group.

LE SSERAFIM

LE SSERAFIM is definitely one of the most invested projects by HYBE in 2022, with a lineup of many famous idols expected to be the new generation dinosaur rookies. Officially debuted on May 2 with Fearless, but less than a month after debut, the group was boycotted by the audience because of the scandal Kim Garam revealed his violent past at school.

The company's stubborn defense of Kim Garam pushed the wave of anger higher and higher, causing LE SSERAFIM to be constantly called out in the newspapers, but not with music but a bullying scandal that seriously affected reputation. .

After repeatedly denying the allegations as well as announcing to take legal action with false information, HYBE officially canceled the contract with Kim Garam.

On July 20, via the official Twitter of the subsidiary Source Music, HYBE made an official announcement about member Kim Garam's departure from the group. The company said, "We decided to terminate the exclusive contract with Kim Garam." The announcement is made in all three languages Korean, Japanese and English. Accordingly, the group Le Sserafim will continue to work with 5 members.
