    My oppinien : I think for main vocalist or even lead vocalist you should have put Ahyeon i love her high notes and tone also you could also have put Somi for Lead or Main vocalist cause she has that tone and good high notes and has been a great vocalist sence she was young or also Swan from purple kiss she is an underrated vocalist in the industry but a really great vocalist but i think the otehr ones i mensiond whould fit better For lead rapper you could have also put Asa but that means you whould have to choose between Ahyeon and Asa being in the group so if you chose Ahyeon to stay then i think another great rapper is CL (or is her name CLC?) For main dancer i first thought Momo but then you mensiond that they also have to have good vocals and dont get me wrong but Momo vocals are good but still i think Lisa fits the main dancer And for visual we all know Woungyoung is the perfect fit Only my oppinien so dont hate please

    i would personally replace Wony with Yuna from ITZY. Yuna has extreme dancing abilties, as does all of ITZY, and a very high, cute vocal quality that i feel would fit with Belle and Haewon. as well as that, she can rap, and her visuals are STUNNINGGGGGGG

    i would have personally switched belle (whom i find to have very unstable vocals live and is often out of tune) with wheein from mamamoo, who's not only arguably the best voice in kpop, with incredible technique and vocal color, plus she's always perfect live. She's also an excellent groovy dancer. But she often gets forgotten in rankings and all. Love her to death.

    I don’t mean this in a bad way but I feel like I more vocal based version of this would also be great and I’m adding 2 people even if it’s over the 6 member limit. I feel like loonas Jinsoul and purple kiss Chaein instead of Lisa would also be good (not that I don’t like Lisa I just feel like Jinsoul and Chaein in this super group could also work but I want this to be more vocal based,,,,and to be honest I struggle seeing any black pink member in any other group because bp lol so I’m just making this easier for my mind and I feel like adding Lisa or any twice or blackpink or red velvet girl is cheating) but anyways I think Jinsoul could be a good vocalist dancer and rapper in this group of course she would likely mostly sing she could be good for first parts of a prechorus since though she isn’t the best vocalist here she is still pretty good and she can definitely hold a note and she’s pretty decent at rapping I think her vocal tone is beautiful and she’s a amazing and underrated vocalist and I think her vocal tone would go well with everyone else here and and she gives off a very specific vibe that is very chic cool and sexy and I feel like she always has awesome stage presence and her visuals are very beautiful and she and chaein would add so much extra pizzazz to this group and with Chaein she’s also a perfect all rounder she is beautiful and has such stunning it girl quality and she has perfect stage presence and she’s a good dancer and she can rap well though it isn’t her strength it is a good addition she can add to this group and she definitely has a beautiful tone rapping or singing,,,,,,,she has a very unique beautiful tone that is unlike anyone else in K-pop and I feel like though this would be changing the only 1 lead vocal thing I feel like she’s a perfect lead vocalist she and Jinsoul would add a perfect touch that I feel like this group is missing and I think that their vocals in this group would perfectly bounce back and forth with each other I think they add something that i personally feel like this group is missing not that this group is lacking at all but it feels a bit like it needs some more garnish to really make it top tier and I think that two more vocal based girls would be perfect additions.

    Ok, so, I also have ideas: 1. Ningning - aespa 2. Yujin - IVE 3. Chaewon - Le Sserafim 4. Moon Sua - Billlie 5. Kyujin - NMIXX 6. Yeji - ITZY I can picture Ningning as main vocal, with all the other girls being qualified for lead vocal (don't make me pick idk). Obviously Kyujin would be a main dancer, Yeji as lead, and Yujin and Chaewon as dancers. Moon Sua and Kyujin are our rappers. The visual queen and centre is Yujin, the utter beauty that she is. On the other hand, if I wanted a cuter group: 1. Belle - Kiss of Life 2. Wonyoung - IVE 3. Hanni - NewJeans 4. Winter - aespa 5. Sullyoon - NMIXX 6. Chaehyun - Kep1er There's too many vocalists, aaah! I can't pick who would have the positions. Hanni would be main dancer, with Wonyoung as lead, whilst rapping would go to... yeah idk. And obviously visual centre is Wonyoung.

    although i might be a bit biased I was genuinely disappointed to not see seo dahyun (main vocalist of 24 girls...~~and 5th gen~~ who held up and shined perfectly in a dance focused exo call me baby cover, has showed off her rapping abilities while on masked singer, was chosen to sing an OST for a kdrama before she even debuted or joined her current company, also she did background vocals for gfriend...so I think that speaks wonders for her. truly the secret weapon of tripleS), or park sohyun (originally a SoundCloud artist and orbit/odd eye circle fan, turned producer and songwriter working for tripleS' company, and finally turned 14th member of tripleS chosen by the company because of she literally had it ALL, visual, vocals, dance, rap, songwriting, producing. sohyun barely a year into her career has written and produced songs for her own group and odd eye circle, she's also choreographed dances for tripleS here and there. on top of that, she had her own rap part written by her in another unit's song making her a vocalist, rapper, and she was recently voted into the group's dance unit making her an official dancer! not like she wasn't before, it just wasn't official... not to mention how she brought in NUMEBRS of fans just by having her first public appearance at a baseball game that went viral everywhere due to her visuals) from tripleS here...had to narrow it down to 2 out of 24 members which was hard for the idol of all possibilities... don't take this comment the wrong way I just wanted to flex my faves abilities and hopefully get them more recognition in future 🫠

I have an episode in progress analyzing the "Right Now" MV that I was hoping to get done by this Friday, but it's gonna have to get pushed back a week because it's a biggie.

    here's a powerhouse group of mine :) I prioritize dance more than rap, and I allow for multiple main and lead positions if deem it necessary. I think yeji would be a good addition to my vocal line as her more harsh vocals would contrast well with ningning's sulty vocal tone. yujin could also do some of the lower range, while chaewon, natty, and hikaru would add brightness to the mix. I chose hikaru and kyujin for my rap line, with yeji and natty filling in as sub-rapper when needed. I'd prefer a lower-octive rapper, but I think kyujin is good at both lower and higher tones. yeji • leader • main dancer • sub-rapper chaewon • lead vocalist • center natty • lead dancer • sub-rapper ningning • main vocalist yujin • lead vocalist • fotg hikaru • main rapper • main dancer kyujin • lead rapper • lead dancer • visual • maknae

    I love creating supergroups myself! personally, I allow karina and winter to be viable candidates. personally, I feel like including soyeon is almost cheating. I also think about the members being similar in age, which is also why I usually disqualify gidle from my groups due to them being significantly older than their peers. also, I prefer to have my groups be an odd number of members to avoid throwing one member in the back during formations, which is why my groups tend to have either 5 or 7 members

    I understand the rule of One Member per Group rule being placed by NMIXX, because they do feel like a supergroup themselves. Lily has godsend vocal capabilities that also has sufficient dance skills, Haewon is a perfect All Rounder (No wonder she was the NMIXX Rep here), Sullyoon is more than visuals and has a surprisingly good Low Register, Bae has a sassy delivery that sweetens fast talking (I love her Just Did It and Hey Mama lines), Jiwoo has a punchy rap that can be both cute or classy, and Kyujin is a powerful dancer that coins the MaknACE term on her generation. Also KIOF has an extremely good synergy with the girlies, they could perfectly join forces and have the most self sufficient group. No wonder you chose belle. The only thing that I do not think anyone can rival is Soyeon's leading capabilities, if she eventually becomes a producer for another K-Pop group we will be stanning, period. I do not have as much to say about Cocona, Wonyoung and Lisa because I do not follow their groups as closely, but I recognize the choices you made are also extremely great.

    LOL your video had me cackling, but babes you ate with this one fr. One member that surprised me is Cocona, not because I don't see her up here, but I just didn't expect her to be considered. But dude I NEED A LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH THIS GROUP- even an M/V would be amazing to see them as a group. One "issue," I see which is not really an issue, is the visual aspect. They all look fairly distinct from one another which is good and bad. Groups who do not look visually cohesive can look hodge-podgey to me. Outside of that, I agree 100% and wouldn't change any members.

    Belle is, no question, gorgeous, but she fares better against western beauty standards than she does Korean, so I don't think she'd realistically be selected for a visual position. I think Haewon would probably be selected before Belle.
