The idol music market in Korea is always an attractive cake for everyone who aspires to become famous and pursue their passion. In addition to the success of famous groups such as BTS, Blackpink, Ikon... many of them have not had a "name-pending point" and have had to disband.
The Ark
As a 5-member girl group that is highly appreciated for their talent and sexiness, The Ark has disappointed many fans when they were forced to disband in less than 1 year of establishment.
The reason is that the two members (Minju and Euna Kim) decided to leave the group to develop their personal careers, so The Ark seemed to be "deadly defeated" in a short period of time. Although the 3 members tried to hold back, they then officially broke up in early 2016.
Kiss & Cry
Pursuing a seductive style, Kiss &Cry is a girl group that promises to bring the outstanding success of the Korean music industry. However, many fans regret that the group only existed for 7 months. With 4 members Bohye, Haena, Dia and Yumi, Kiss&Cry released 2 singles, "Domino Game" and "Bad Girl" which are very popular with listeners.
The fact that the main vocalist named Haena was involved in many problems with the management company that separated the group caused Kiss&Cry to have no specific direction, gradually shake and have to stop working.
I.O.I
I.O.I's case is the group that makes many people regret the K-Pop entertainment industry. With each win in a reality show called Produce 101 season 1, the members of I.OI. are all bright faces, highly appreciated by the judges. It seems that this girl group has everything for themselves, from the song, to a large number of fans.
The audience always thought that I.O.I would create a position whether sooner or later, but in reality, the opposite, I.O.I had to disband immediately afterwards just because he could not find a common voice in work and life.
Therefore, to maintain a music group is not simple, in addition to talent, luck and understanding are also needed between members to be able to travel a long way together in the future.
