Could ACE Entertainment be forming a new rookie girl group?

article written by soomi  original source: soomi beats soompi - a JPN/SK idol-centric blog @ soomiwrites.com

Recent activity on the official ACE Entertainment website has avid followers of the company’s content questioning CEO Jae: Could there be a new rookie girl group that debuts in 2017?

It’s almost like CEO Jae is running a no trainee left behind program. Not including the latest update on the ACE Entertainment website, he’s made it very clear several times in the past as well that he intends to find a group for every individual, and their soon-to-debut group, W1NT3R, is a perfect example of that. Not even gender is getting in CEO Jae’s way of making groups that work for his trainees!

So is it really that big of a stretch to think a new girl group is on the rise? Ever since Kandi made their appearance online long before they released an albums, ACE trainees have been loud and proud on their social media accounts-- and trust me when I say, we have reason to believe several of them received news that they were placed into a group within the last week.

The only trouble is, we probably won’t get any more information out of them or the CEO himself until after W1NT3R debuts, which according to the website, is scheduled to happen sometime next month. Not that we aren’t looking forward to that... but aren’t co-ed groups known to flop?

So which are YOU most excited for? W1NT3R? A new girl group? Or are you hoping ACE Entertainment takes us all by surprise and announces their next boy group? Leave your comments down below!

[KOREABOO] Dating Rumors Between Royals’ Dollface and Rebels’ Nowin.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Dollface, the leader of Royals, was admitted to the hospital for undisclosed health issues. Rumors about her admission and who was there have been swirling since then.

Sources in the hospital report that it was a manager from the company and Nowin of Rebels who brought her in. Apparently, Nowin refused to leave even after being told by staff from the company that he needed to return to the company’s building. The scene was apparently witnessed by multiple staff members and visitors to the hospital.

There are rumors that since her admission, Nowin has remained in Dollface’s room. Naturally, fans are worried about how this will affect his image and his idol activities. No pictures have surfaced of Nowin at the hospital or with Dollface, but plenty of witnesses have stepped forward to claim sightings. It seems the hospital staff also have been taking steps to calm the rumors among their employees.

The lack of proof could be due to the company and hospital working together to increase the privacy around the issue, or perhaps it’s all simply speculation and rumor.

[+2819, -457] No pictures, no proof. It’s just rumors. [+1258, -356] Wasn’t she supposed to be dating Pyro from Rebels…? [+580, -372] So Nowin is stealing his fellow member’s girlfriend? He didn’t seem like the type. [+1348, -280] They need to clear it up or people are going to say crazy things like she’s having his child or something… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [+2982, -140] I don’t really care about rumors. Is she going to be okay though? [ +370, -512] The guys from Rebels just need to stay away from the girls in their company.

[KOREABOO] Netizens dig up Eros's Shady Past and Call Him Depraved

Eros, also known as Park Jiwoo, has now come under fire after Netizens have revealed predebut images of him smoking and drinking underage. Other photos even feature him clubbing, fueling more criticism toward the ACE soloist.

Many have discussed his past and have even questioned the company and their background checks.

Comments

[+228, -11] I guess the company really doesn't care about what idol represents them.

[+203, -12] Why can't they just debut the good trainees? Eros isn't even that talented. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+140, -11] I hate these kinds of people. I already didn't like him because he seemed disgusting, but now I hate him.

[+101, -14] I'll be saving this for later. If a female soloist did this, then she would be in trouble. He doesn't deserve his fans.

oh man ! i definitely didn’t expect to wake up an ace star post... pyro’s first cover ! if you haven’t caught up yet, the rebel’s visual and lead vocalist posted a ‘we don’t talk anymore’ ( charlie puth ft selena gomez ) cover to soundcloud. of course, while i don’t care much about shipping, this came at an oddly specific time—just a day after sns posts to playboy about being ignored, as well as clear change in how much playboy and pyro interact on stage and apparently off stage as well, so i can’t help but assume that this cover was done in thought about playboy... what do you guys think ?

[ace-empire-blog]

On a scale of 1-10 how hype are you for winter's debut?

7 ! i think getting a co - ed group will bring ace a lot of new fans; like rebels and royals did. which, is the goal. more fans, more money. more money, more comebacks and better content.i also am really excited for a group with their personalities. i can’t wait until we start seeing promotions !

When will Ragers realize that PLAYWIN is OTP material? The umma and appa of Rebels are meant to be together <3

since i’m definitely not a rager, i couldn’t answer this for you. but they do seem as if they would be really cute together.playboy and nowin, ah, there is a special place in my heart for mom x dad ships, they always work so well together. besides, with a group like that, they should be lucky to be alive. nowin is really cute, too.

true or false - kyro is getting in the way of taero and playro?

i don’t think any ship is getting in the way of any ship, butin general, though, their friendships are definitely going a certain way that makes me worry about pyro ! it’s clear the last two weeks have been telling, while kulap and pyro have gotten closer, pyro has consistently drifted from his other friends, which doesn’t surprise me. there’s obviously something wrong with that kid, and it wouldn’t shock me to find out if the whole drifting mess was because of kyro getting closer and i’m not saying pyro has a part in this.

[ace-empire-blog]

You think playboy and pyro have been distant lately? Have you SEEN pyro and tae??? They barely interact anymore...

i agree. i thought just a few months ago pyro and tae were fine for a while, but then they started talking even less than i saw them before. it must be really embarrassing to have a falling out like that in public ; i wonder what pyro did to tae, to upset him enough to cut off even onstage contact ?  maybe he had another explosive interaction.

[ace-empire-blog]

hyunki~ have you seen the latest posts to kulaps ig? (*^▽^*) i think its so cute our maknae unnie let pyro use his personal account!

hyunnie~ i just saw. i’m not really a fan of kulap x anyone in the group, but i have to admit pyro using his social media was cute. i’ve seen a few fans think that kulap calls pyro oppa—if you catch my drift, pyro has been pitching a few things that kulap is catching ( granted, i’m sure unnie would even catch for other girls )—i definitely have never shipped them, but if anything this gives you reason to believe kulap has a crush on him, letting him post from his account like that !

[ace-empire-blog]

have u noticed that playboy oppa hasn't been doing as much fanservice with pyro? my ship is dying ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚

i always assume that you guys are just being deluded when you say things like this, i was even planning on telling you that you were just making it up when i saw the message at work.but of course, pyro posts about his own concerns right as i’m answering. guess my only answer can be that if the man himself says it, nuri and pyro must be drifting !

Don't you think it's kind of weird they picked Dollface for the leader of Royals? It's a KOREAN pop group. Not thai.

i actually don’t think it’s strange at all. most companies don’t even specify you have to be of asian decent to audition, so there is really no reason to question a thai person in kpop, if she fits the leader title better than her ethnically korean counterparts, then shouldn’t we be happy they choose leaders based on merit ?besides, i believe dollface is korean; nationality wise. so your question is invalid on all levels. i can't even make jokes about the level of half assed hate this was. all i have to say is bye, hyunnie, bye.

[ace-empire-blog]

( * if you could matchmake anyone at ACE, who would you put together.. regardless if they've ever had any sort of interactions?

i answered this question last week, but. i’ll go with another answer. mao of rebels and yeonhee of k4rma !! next time, hyunnie, look through my answers before sending me a repeat in the same week !! it gets boring answering the same questions.

[KOREABOO] DATING RUMORS OF ONE REBELS MEMBER...

It's no mystery why fans love the sibling group concept between Rebels and Royals, more interaction between their female and male idols.

One netizen reported to have found private photos of Song Byungchul (Pyro) and Kosum Aromdee (Dollface) looking more like a couple than their sibling group status would suggest.

After a photo from AAA was circulated among fans of the groups, the idea of a relationship between the two became a much loved possibility.

Further photos were released from the stars personal social medias.

While many fans are reporting the photos due to their personal nature, others have taken to investigating. Some gossip sites claim to have sources surrounding their interactions during award shows and group activities. 

Most of their fans have cited Pyro's acceptance of gifts for Dollface as evidence; others use captions supposedly posted by their friends and then.

What do you think?

[+1774, -2363] unnie is so perfect for byungchul oppa ㅋㅋㅋ  [+1567, -321] the second photo.... ah! they really are dating... king of holding his girlfriend so sexily!!! [+2189, -1495] Knew he would be the first to be dating with all the past rumors.... [+844, -126] i can't see her being with something like that. [+1633, -1471] God, why do these idol girls have to pursue men like this? No one needs to see anymore of these stupid dating scandals.

[ONEHALLYU]

[+3737, -902] we will support byungchul oppa no matter what... fighting! [+2533, -1092] oppa wouldn't do this to us!! [+112, -34] how can we take these photos seriously when they were stolen... [+645, -173] I hope they aren't breaking any dating rules, they're only rookies.
