K-netizens React to Expected Members of the SM

Reports state that they were seen at SM’s Japan concert, filming something as part of a collaboration with a company owned by Simon Cowell, the same producer behind One Direction.

The article on theqoo about this has gained significant attention, reaching over 65,000 views as of the morning of June 24th. Here are a few remarks from Korean netizens.

– Will they be coming to Korea for training?

– The visuals are truly impressive. I can’t help but wonder if there is a high demand for idols in the UK.

“Will their new release have a similar vibe to NSYNC or BSB?”

“Are you serious? They appear to have the potential to thrive in the local market. Their appearance surpasses that of other Western idols who have debuted under Korean agencies.”

Although they exude a foreign boy group vibe, the question remains whether K-pop management will be successful. Nevertheless, they do appear cool and in line with the Western aesthetic.

“Are they also performing dance routines?”

Is their goal to resemble One Direction?

Are these visuals really my style?

– They appear rather average…
