Calma calma, keep expectations low. Assume schedules will change in the next 3 months. Rmb, some companies are A-holes/greedy.

The newest information is a release time frame being May. I am pleased, though Mina and Kyulkyung missing out is a bummer.

Wondering if Sohye has been practicing a lot.
Their individual star power in some cases has increased, or been legitimized, so much over the past several years. This should be interesting.

There should really wait for all 11-members to be free before they make an actual comeback to make it worth while.
