Korean media have reported of a new girl group with former IZ*ONE member Wonyoung and Yujin since this summer. Since both Wonyoung and Yujin are over 170 centimetres and have model like figures many fans have feared it's hard to match them two.

But as the other members than Wonyoung and Yujin got revealed that anxiety have gone away. The timline was full of 
"I'm sorry I was wrong"
"Their visuals are too strong!"
"I saw that Starship is really serious with this" and
"I have a feeling they will shake up the KPOP world".

[+11,115, -512] When I was in my twenties, I heard a man in his fifties say that all their faces look the same, and I wondered how come they all look the same, now I'm in my 50s and they all look the same to me

[+3,730, -505] KPOP started out by imitating japanese idols and now japanese idols are imitating korean idols
Well, from that imitation comes new originality, but I guess we're in a transition period now, because everything is k-pop, so they all looks the same to me
I hope that we will soon get out of this transitional period and new idols will emerge that are Korean for Korea and Japanese for Japan

[+3,316, -525] Korea, because of its small domestic entertainment market, has been focusing on foreign countries as its main target from the very beginning. Japan, on the other hand, has a large domestic entertainment market (the second largest in the world), so we focus on domestic sales first. That's the difference. In the first place, is there really a need for high quality entertainment in Japan? What is needed in Japan is "sympathy". And that's of no use to people overseas. That's not what we were aiming for from the beginning

[+1,689, -404] I think all the girls in k-pop are cute, but
Aren't most girl groups kind of generic and lame in their songs?
"I'm gonna make him fall for me!" what's up with that?
The music is all the same.
Niziu's music is perfect.
It's like that girl group CM you see on Abma every once in a while.
I can't help but think, "Wow"

[+1,309, -222] I wonder if there will be more natural looking kids in kpop soon too? I think they're amazingly beautiful but i see no humanity. That's why so many groups in korea gets one hit and then says "bye bye"
