The DISBANDMENT of Bvndit (what happened ...) 

I remember Dumb coming out and loving it as the buzz around it. I wish they would have gotten a better run.

Bvndit is my favorite nugu group and I survived the long ass hiatus so I was so frustrated when not even half a year after their disbandment they debuted a bg which said they didn’t give two shits about bvndit after venom. Jungwoo is studying in America rn and I think seungyeon is in some theatre thing rn

MNH gave up on them too soon. All their resources were being reinvested in Chungha (she was their priority). Seungeun's exposure on GP999 could've given them an extra push (she was a well-known contestant), but MNH failed to capitalize on them. They waited too long to give BVNDIT a comeback after her elimination (about 9-10 months), which caused her momentum to fade. FNC Entertainment gave Cherry Bullet a comeback a couple of months after the conclusion of the show (May, Bora & Jiwon were contestants). New fans tuned in for their Love in Space comeback. They could've had a decent run as a GG, but MNH just wasn't interested anymore.

Venom was phenomenal. I was just getting curious about kpop after being a fan of BTS for 2 years. It was so disappointing to hear that they have disbanded soon. The issue with the kpop industry is that kpop groups are no more than products to most of the companies. Almost nobody cares about the music, or the talent. They are all about capitals, debt structures, and cash flows.

They really where one of my favourite groups... :( I loved the music (I mean Hocus Pocus, Dumb, Dramatic, Jungle, Awaken,...) and especially their voices. They had such rich vocal tones and for me that really made them stand out. I really hope the girls still manage to follow their dreams, no matter what they might be at this point. They all have immense potential

I was so disappointed to see a group as insanely talented as Bvndit get mismanaged so badly. This group had everything - incredible vocals, distinctive rappers, amazing songs, cool dances. It just never made sense to me that they weren't one of the top girl groups, but as you've explained here, management and scheduling can often be more important than actual talent in k-pop sadly. As for my favourite Bvndit moment, Dramatic will live in my head rent-free forever. I bonded with a friend over that song and we both still absolutely adore it

I miss bvndit so bad :(

Bvndit y'all deserved better

Whem Dumb came out, it felt like everyone was talking about it. My family had been following them since debut, and it was so annoying how the company treated them AND chungha 😭😭😭😭😭 so rude. And the members were so talented and nice to each other, it's so sad

Thank u sm I was waiting for Someone to do a video on BVNDIT 🥺❤️. They and Chungha clearly deserved better by MNH. As a Turning (8TURN fan) I just now 💯% know in order to debut them they disbanded (and they slightly were more popular than debut but I felt like if not for EVNNE getting nominated for best new male artist for 2023 Mama, 8Turn would’ve gotten nominated just like Chungha & BVNDIT) BVNDIT however I’m kinda worried later on the boys will get mistreated the same way the girls were. We all know how bad they managed Chungha and BVNDIT.

I love love loveed them, they were on repeat in 2019/2020

I always considered BVNDIT as one of the best 4th gen kpop groups, and I know for sure that their talents and musicality could compete with groups like (G)I-DLE or IVE. Sadly, we've all seen how bad they were managed. Basically their company would keep giving them songs that only succeed when the group is already popular, not songs that MAKE the group popular! The only song that had a chance of making them popular was not promoted (Dramatic) and that was the biggest mistake in their career. I mean the fact that Dramatic is still their most streamed track even though they did not promote it speaks miles, they missed their chance on it. They should have debuted with Dramatic and then came back with Dumb, the rest would have been successful then. They had EVERYTHING!

I'm fairly new to kpop so I discovered the group through loving Seungeun's solo stage after watching the full one on youtube, finding out she is in a group already, and then checked their prior songs and loved them. VENOM WAS SUCH A BANGER and I was so excited to see more from them, and then they just were gone. Really sad they had really good music and were talented.

So sad they have one of the best vocal for 4th gen.

Someone called them Disbvndit 😭

13:50 you summed it up really well here. Children is my favourite song too!

I really think covid completley fucked them they had been rising slowly in populairty and then covid hit and mnh could no longer get the much needed revenue from festival performance etc it was so sad

venom is SUCHHH a good song. I also really like my error, cool, jungle

And ofc we all also know the pandemic didn’t help these girls either hence why their company financially struggled another reason mostly likely they disbanded (but I feel like the 1st reason I said was the main reason. It was either debut a group and disband one or keep the current group and not have the boygroup debut at all) Music Shows couldn’t have audiences and all fan related events had to be virtual only

Bvandit's Venom and Gfriend's Magoo being the groups last songs before disbandment is just tragic! I got into them from these bangers just when they go their separate ways.

You are my favorite go-to youtuber for this kind of videos. Whenever a group disbands, devastated fans always say that it's all the company's fault (understandable though). But that answer doesn't satisfy my curiosity. I always believe that there must be several factors in one's downfall. I see you are always thorough in your analysis videos, both while discussing the company's failure and other existing factors. Yes, I do watch similar videos from other youtubers, but IMO they put too much emphasis on the management's part. Therefore I like your videos the best. BTW, I don't know if you are interested in this topic, but I'm intrigued by stayc's position within the industry. As a swith, I want to believe that the group has secured their place as one of the top 4th gen ggs. But they are often left out by korean medias when talking about top 4th gen ggs and not as often being talked about as their peers. I find it ironic because fans see highup pushing them so much to attend many events and shows to the point we are worried they are being overworked. But their recognition is still not that big both in Korea and international scope 🥲 It frustrates me because I'm in limbo about their status and to what extent I could place my expectation for them. And what exactly lacking from their situation which makes them hasn't been able to reach the heights that their peers have reached? Is it their marketing strategy? Their concept? Is it because all the members are equally treated by highup and fans, thus no one really gets pushed to be at public's eye (like wonyoung and tsuki)? Does coming from small-to-mid-sized-company really hold them back?

I wonder what was the original plan for the group. In the first year there were activities but after the pandemic this was discarted.

Literally the nugu with the biggest potential I miss my bvndit girlies

15:05 please make that video! As both a kep1ian and zerose i'd watch the hell out of that one

They debuted in 2019? Never heard of them. Makes me wonder how many groups there are that don't make it to mainstream level.

Yo adoraba este grupo, despues de Twice o Red Velvet o I.O.I siempre que me preguntan por kpop ellas estan en mi mente, ojala supieran valorar mas a las artistas

sad about their disbvndment 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

NOOOIUUUUU

DISBVNDIT

i was OBSESSED with hocus pocus Lol

BANDIT??!!? ALL THIS TIME I WAS PRONOUNCING IT B V N DIT

Chungha's money can't revive them. Just like Pledis with Seventeen's money for After School.

I think we can all agree that the disbvndit was tragic ksjdkdkdjdj Jokes asides, they were my ultimate group. Honestly, they had so much potencial, every single one of them. And the vocal line omg, Jungwoo and Songhee could have carried the entire generation if they had make it.
