Since BTS members will also be discharged from the military one by one by June 2025, new debuts, which are expected to happen alongside the preparation of BTS’s grand comeback as a full team, will raise competition among HYBE artists.
Although the article did not mention whether the groups are boy groups or girl groups, ongoing rumors say that HYBE is going to debut new male idols.
In response to the news, netizens showed diverse reactions. Many expressed worries about HYBE debuting too many groups within a short period of time while there are still many problems with their management of existing artists.

However, many believe that this is the right time for BIGHIT MUSIC to launch a new boy group because their youngest group TXT debuted five years ago, in 2019. and has already been active for quite a long time.
The news of HYBE’s new boy group plans spread in online communities, including Instiz. In response, netizens commented, “Why do they keep releasing new groups?”, “They debuting new groups again?”, “Please take better care of existing idols…”, “BIGHIT MUSIC conducted an audition this year, too.
