[Instiz] SM to debut two rookie groups this year?

Instiz: "SM to debut at minimum two rookie groups this year..." - KB Investments

On the 24th, KB Investments released a statement saying that SM will be debuting two new rookie groups at minimum this year which will be expected to be reflected in their stock price.

Researcher Kim Min Jung had to say, "...Since the second half of last year, SM's stock momentum has weakened with a mere 2.5% growth compared to the previous year. Their lackluster records have investors nervous, especially with their rookie group recording comparatively slight records against competing companies, and the focal talking point seems to be the army enlistment of their male idol groups and the need for a new rookie artist to make up for the promotion schedule of TVXQ once they're away."

The researcher went on to predict that SM will be releasing two new rookie idol groups to revamp their rookie line-up and to make up for the hiatus of their current artists and their promotion restrictions (from army enlistments and whatnot)."

"It hasn't even been that long since Red Velvet was released.."

"Two teams at minimum...?"

"Two teams seem like an awful lot."

"Hul... SM usually released a new group every five years.."

"Don't do it ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"I doubt any rookie group would be able to make up for TVXQ's schedule."

"One of them will probably be the male Rookiez group."

"Why can't they just focus on the groups they already do have?"

"SM's rookie groups had lackluster records??? If EXO and Red Velvet are considered lackluster by investors.... then dang."

"This is all just speculation, I highly doubt SM would release two new groups in a year."

"SM must be overflowing with money if they have the cash to debut two groups at a time."

"Probably the adult male members of Rookiez along with the junior/high school female members of Rookiez. Rami's probably going to be in the next next debut since she's so young."

"So about that f(x) fanclub..."
