I see SM's not willing to give up the whole EXO K-EXO M concept here. I mean, of course it's a smart move to aim for several markets simultaneously. But i think it's important to pay attention at how the artists are treated. Let's hope their contracts are better and more humane than that of their seniors. Oh and what about SR14B? I thought they were going to debut them first because they released their rap (Taeyong) and dance teasers in 2014. And what about Yuta Nakamoto? Is he in SR14B or NCT? I think i saw Mark in NCT's teasers dancing? One of SM Rookies? Does this mean SR14B's debut will be delayed? I didn't think they'd be debuting the younger ones (like Mark for instance) this early.

I bet the rookies are like a 40+ something member group? this is not what we signed up for xDD but i assume they've been training hard all these years and i know it's really not up to them how they'll debut. But the whole concept reminds me of AKB48 lol. And the whole rotating process and the "graduation" of the members hasn't really proven successful over the past years in the industry. SM tried to have Super Junior do it but it didn't work so they just went with the fixed members. You get used to the members and the group name but when they want to change the whole consistency it's not the same anymore. There's no sense of unity and the group you were loyal to might be replaced and the weirdest thing is when they change the members but the name stays the same. It's heartbreaking. It's like the name has been taken away from you favorite members You associate the members and the group or the group name with each other and by altering the group the whole connection is broken It's like your favorite group is not there anymore because they changed it. Plus imagine if they were to change members on the regular. idk that's how i feel about these kind of projects
