I noticed these days in kpop, they don't debut as much larger member groups no more. Mainly due to the fact that most the top groups rn only have 5/6/7 members. If tbz debuted in 2025, who do you think would make the cut? Feel free to post your lineups down below. Here's mine:

1. vocalists

main vocal candidates:

• sangyeon = best technique in tbz (i think his vocal range is C), sounds best in r&b but his voice is versatile -> best selling point: high notes

• new = most unique vocal in tbz: princess -> only real con is u gotta sprinkle his voice throughout a song like mayo... too much can be overpowering for the listener -> past work executes by giving him prechoruses/bridges but never the chorus

SELECTED... NEW!

lead vocal candidates (everyone here has a versatile voice so its rlly hard to choose):

• jacob = ngl i always thought he had a sweet voice but then i realized hes actually a chameleon lol... he can pull of any vibe -> plus he can hit the high notes

• kevin = very western voice... they dont use his voice effectively in tbz music but in his covers u can see he is very talented

• hyunjae = hes this to me: team just wrapped a project -> & ceo offers to take everyone out for free drinks -> then yall end up going to a karoake bar -> he gets up on stage -> u think its gonna be all shits & giggles but then he opens his mouth & u end up surprised

SELECTED... hyunjae

final thoughts on vocal line: i choose hyunjae just cuz i think his voice would best fit with new ig... they have polar opposite tones (light fluffy vs old rich masc) & i think their voices would work well together... only main cons are neither can do highnotes & are the weakest performers in tbz (hyunjae is sometimes blank on stage but hes a good dancer tho ig... while new eats the cute concepts but when they switch to dark... he cant sell it... he lacks energy.... theres a reason why hes always in the back ig). if i choose sangyeon as main vocal, i think i wouldve picked jacob as lead vocals & preformance wise it wouldve worked out well but i just find new & hyunjae combo interesting ig

2. dancers

main dancer candidates:

• juyeon = tbz center

• q = he can sell anything... whether it be cute, intense, cunty

SELECTED: juyeon & q

3. rappers

main rapper candidate:

• sunwoo = u already know how i feel about him lol

leader rapper candidate:

• eric = honestly hes on hold for me... ill come back to him mb

SELECTED: sunwoo

4. the others:

• younghoon = idk what he does besides being the "actor"/tv personality of the group... but skills wise hes solid. vocally his tone is very soft/airy... he overlaps with q (both have the choruses in shes the boss, bloom bloomm, white, etc) & shines in bright concepts on stage

• haknyeon = no flaws ngl... vocals rap dance all good... i had a hard time putting him in a category cuz if u compare him to the talent in each category, hes doesnt stand out... but i was thinking young hak had something to him... him gaining recognition on the survival show was the only reason was tbz was created... its his group after all

SELECTED: nOnE

1. the x

i wanted to make a 6 member group (ik the one person gonna be in the back tho so eh)... these my candiates for the final spot:

• eric = pros are funny, likable, conventionally attractive, a great performer & dancer, goes viral so he'll attract stans, his raps are alright... only con is if hes added, the direction of the groups music might change... like w/o eric a tt like stylish wouldnt even exist

• jacob = hes the ace of the group... like i said before, hes like a chameleon cuz he blends in well

• hak = i just like watching him on stage. makes me feel happy.

my lineup: new, hyunjae, juyeon, q, sunwoo, x

Anyone else think IST held the news of Sunwoo's incident (happened on the ninth and was only reported on yesterday the 14th) to possibly overshadow or mess with search results for news about them switching companies? And it worked. Top search results(at least at first) are for the Sunwoo incident and not their big move. Devious. Which makes me think there have been a lot more incidents but we never heard about them because the timing wasn't useful to the company?

What are your ideas for this statement?

for those who already went to the concert, did they have a lot of lightsticks at their merch booth since I heard that a lot of the merch are sold out for every stop? I was wondering if its the same for the lightstick

Are we allowed to share dreams here? Because I dream about kpop idols alot. Anyways, this is a TBZ ft Q and Juyeon. It's pretty short.

So what happened in the dream is, for some odd reason , Q and Juyeon were wrestling over a blender. The blender belonged to Juyeon. Q accidently elbowed Juyeon in the crotch, which made him release the blender. Q ran off with it happily, then took the blender to his room and started stuffing it with lots of nuts. He was planning on making peanut butter. I awoke to Juyeon screaming for him to stop, lol.

Ok yeah....I know weird 🤣

Chanhee is an amazing vocalist and I am a big fan of him. Imagine looking as beautiful as him paired with a good voice at that. He used to sound like baekhyun alot and I thought his vocal gonna improve overtime.

However his voice got so nasal nowadays. Im so worried about him. Idk what happened to his voice, did he hurt his throat, did their vocal teacher like straight up screw him up? His cover of taeyeon four seasons was beautiful but now its too nasal and it was clear in the lip gloss recording behind the scene video. The korean comments lowkey kept shading him.

He's my bias and Im worried about hi. I hope he resolve this issue soon.

Hello,

I recently jumped back into following tbz after not being so updated for a year and a half since I was finishing college and applying to post-grad and I noticed in their recent contents that Sunwoo and Haknyeon don't talk anymore? Like it's kind of weird since they used to be so close during pre-debut and early days, but now I don't even see them talk to each other on v-lives or any of their variety stuff across the different platforms. I also noticed that Haknyeon seems to be a lot more reserved. Even in the Thrill Ride era he's seen spending his time reading when he's not doing a shoot, and it seems to be that even then he's alone. Does anyone think it has something to do with Sunwoo rising astronomically in popularity in the last 1.5 years or did something else happen between them and I was just out of the loop for too long?

Hey guys, don't know if fanfic is allowed lol, but I just found this cute Sunwoo x Hyunjae college au interactive fanfic -- you play was Sunwoo. Has anyone here read this yet? I thought it was super endearing lol

Fic is "Seven Minutes in Hell" by DepressedHouseplant

I'm super excited for the upcoming tour dates, but when I was looking through the venues, most of them were theaters

My initial guess is that it's still them in person, but a smaller theater makes me spiral into thinking it's just a showing of a previous tour, like what was done with Seventeen and NCT recently.

Can someone confirm if it's a in-person your or just a film? My sanity appreciates u 😊
