Is a New Rookie Boy Group Coming? Netizens Express Concerns Over the Future of IVE and KiiiKiii!
Starship Entertainment is set to launch a new boy group in 2025, marking its first boy group debut since MONSTA X in 2015 and CRAVITY in 2020.
After five years, the company is garnering attention for introducing this highly anticipated group. The new boy group will benefit from Starship’s years of musical expertise and global network, as announced during the “2025 NewKids on the STARSHIP” event.
Recently, Starship released a logo motion and schedule video, sparking excitement among K-pop fans for the upcoming debut. This follows the debut of their rookie girl group, KiiiKiii, further raising anticipation for the new boy group.
On Instiz, fans expressed surprise over the news, given that Starship’s newest rookie girl group, KiiiKiii, had only just debuted. The announcement of a new boy group comes at a time when the company is facing controversy for allegedly treating its flagship girl group, IVE, unfairly.
Comments:
- KiiiKiii just debuted, and already?
- Please take care of IVE first.
- Shouldn’t they be called KiiiKiii’s younger brother then?
- Shouldn’t they focus on CRAVITY first? They should push CRAVITY more.
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- Even big companies wouldn’t do it like this, what’s going on?
- Is it really necessary to have such a gap between rookies like this…?
- Wow, that’s pretty all over the place…
With mixed reactions from fans, it remains to be seen how Starship will balance the rise of its new groups while addressing ongoing concerns within its artist lineup.
