These KPOP Companies RUINED These Groups 

More Info / Corrections: -Somyi is active on TikTok and does live streams there. Still not sure why she just left IG -Yebins song Yes I Know, technically isn’t her debut. But it was her solo project. Contrail was her actual solo debut Also thank you so much for all the love you’ve been giving me ❤

the end of gwsns story is so disappointing. they had so much potential and were my second favorite group after loona. a no skip discography, tons of great members, and a unique sound. it’s a shame all that was squandered

What's really sad about these companies is that they release good music.

i miss gwsn sm ☹️ i feel terrible for them. im so happy for miya though! it seems like she has a promising career ahead of her 🤞🏻

literally love that you don’t use that stupid AI voice like other kpop youtubers, just for that i’m subscribing

Imagine just.... not being able to contact anyone from the company you supposedly work under. Absolutely wild. Good to see you again. Take care!

Still very upset about BVNDIT being mismanaged, bro

In terms of Girls Re:Verse, I'm not joking when I say it's the best survival show I've ever seen - purely because it's so unserious. It's chaos and all the contestants have some really funny interactions since it didn't have the same stress placed on them as other shows. It's definitely worth a watch imo, even if you don't end up listening to the music that came out of it.

Honestly really nice to have this channel back on k-tube since you’re probably one of the people who does the most research and genuinely seems to care about all of the groups For the TO1 / TOO situation it is such a huge tell of how much W1 messed up with them that people were cheering when Woongki left, felt bad for Seongmin taking that long eventhough it was obvious that the company really couldn’t care about him less and that fans were really excited for the members once they completely disbanded because it was obvious that they cared more about wrapping up Kep1er’s runtime (including contract negotiations at the time), wanted to focus on zb1 (aswell as the EVNNE members which will most likely for a group with Taerae after disbandment) so it’s nice that they’re out of that mistake of a company Side-note: since it was usually mentioned in greater detail what the former members did after disbandment I thought it’d nice to mention that Woongki has participated in a bl drama (love for love’s sake) and also in the OST for it (he also does have a RU-vid channel) And a clear last “f u” from w1 towards Seongmin (Jerome): - they did not confirm the way he wanted his name to be written (they wrote it as Sungmin instead of Seongmin, he talked about that in a live on insta) - he was excluded of the WakeOnez promotion after the show - was not featured on the insta account with Hanbin and the 2JeongHyeon (as well as Jihoo after he joined) and not part of Wakeup: summer vacation, their fanmeet; I hope he was told that they don’t have any further plans for him once the international (Min, Haruto, Anthonny) trainees and Minseok left (which is another absolute dck move of the company but at least they are now in TOZ, NewBeat and Min is just doing social media dance classes and traveling whilst still hoping to debut one day) That was a long rant… Tldr: WakeOne sucks on an almost impressive level

About Girls Re:Verse- I didn't watch the show... BUT the virtual group Fe:Verse I recommend! Kwon Eunbi is my favourite soloist, so hearing her voice combined with Heejin (loona is one of my ults), two WJSN members and an Apink member is great! The song Cho has innocent christian horse girl vibes. Yes it's a virtual group, but the voices of the members are all done my idols, so it's a bit of a supergroup to me!

OMG you are finally back. Im so happy

mbk/pocketdol should honestly just stop it with idol groups because it's clear that they can't get anything right and are wasting their idols (who are mostly kids too!!) time and potential to become big stars, class:y and bae173's last comeback was in 2022 which was over a year ago already, then fantasy boys initially had a pretty successful debut run since they sold like 112k albums but their next album which was released 2 months later sold only 23k because they rush it out for winter cash grabs with barely any promotions.

DIA didn't disband actually, they're on hiatus, the members said they will reunite again. You're back, I'm glad

I’m so happy to hear Miya is going to have her solo debuet this year!

to1 stans saying the only positive of their disbandment is never seeing chan again 😭 (for context the guy would culturally appropriate like it was his job and was never sorry. he also was shouting out tory lanez in a song he wrote)

I am still sad about BANDIT

I think Vine entertainment should be on this list. The way they are promoting secret number is absolutely ridiculous.

As to Why I'm Worried reccomendations I would suggest Rocking Doll, 3YE, CSR and F.able.

GWSN's story just breaks my heart. I loved their music and all the members, was following them since pre-debut. It was saddening to hear what they went through. Hope all of them will find their niche. Also, glad that u are back, thanks for your work ❤

everything about DIA's last couple of years together makes me so sad, they were the first group that I discovered from their debut and I fell in love instantly

thank you so much for speaking about ALL of these groups but especially with gwsn since they're my ult group but also bc of how heartbreaking and well informed we are of what happened to them, you talking about this brings more insight into how kpop groups are actually being mistreated

Weki Meki too. Fantagio didn’t promote them and make songs for them for two years until disbanded date.

Ok, so you're back. Literally I have beef with A100. They disbanded neonpunch due to covid issues, but managed to make a high quality for XUM soon after. Then they changed their name to Kpop Live when having Hi-L, and now they have a new pre-debut girl group ONAIR, and they changed their name to SW Entertainment. I feel like something shady goes on.

I can really recommend Girl's Re:verse! The lineup and songs are great (though I wish everyone had lines in the signature song, like LABOUM's Haein had none) and the challenges in the episodes were ?? wild. Probably the funniest survival show I watched. Also a side note which I think wasn't addressed in the video: Kim Doah's solo debut is still done under FENT / FANATICS' company. It has me rather worried bc that company did Not do enough about the ab*sive manager/higher-up.

All I'm hearing is that I need to be scared when it's time for the fifth episode of survival shows. 😂

As a clue I'm still so sad about what happened to Ciipher

I used to be a huge fan of to1 and this is the first time I heard about their contract termination…. oh my god

With DIA, I doubt they'll reunite, at least not soon. The members are deep into solo activities. I think it'll take them 6+ years to return... Yeah, I'm pessimistic, considering some precedents...

a few more "fun fact" updates on bvndit as someone who ults them and still stays very up to date with them: - aside from seungeun, jungwoo and simyeong too are attending university and jungwoo studied abroad in the us 2023 fall semester - the video yeeyeon shared was from a trip they recently took together and they did a live and shared quite a few videos and photos from that trip - jungwoo, simyeong and seungeun have all acted in musical theater productions since disbandment, seungeun actually several and the members always go to watch and support each other's projects - they hang out with each other every now and then but especially songhee and simyeong hang out all the time, simyeong even said that songhee has a tootbrush at her place and "moved in" with her bc of how often she comes over - unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they'll ever return as a group but they seem very happy doing musical theater and yeeyeon with her solo releases + their studies! +just a little bonus but simyeong is like the biggest fan of wheein ever, she talked about her in so many behind the scenes videos and carried around her photocards, and recently she went to wheein's solo concert and got to meet her after the concert!!

JIHOON’S CARAT COMEBACK W AN HOUR LONG VIDEO THIS IS WHAT IVE NEEDED OMG so glad you’re back ❤️❤️

Thank you for coming back! You're one of my favourite channels, because you combine two of my favourite things, niche music acts and K-pop. If you haven't checked out 'Peak Time', I hope you do. It has a ton of amazing nugu boy groups that didn't make top 6 (praying for a girl group version). Also, BAE173 (who has the same agency as DIA) was on it, and there's hints of mistreatment behind the scenes from POCKETDOL themselves. If you make a video about POCKETDOL, you would have stuff to work with.

You should see what happened with the group Topp Dogg, their company screwed them over SO hard.

What's wild to me was wasn't there a 2023 update that said purplebeck would have a comeback?

Welcome back!! 💕🥳 may I suggest looking into the gg G-reyish? All I know is a member was on The Unit and part of a team that released a song called cherry on top.

Hi-L's situation is really just so sad

The amount of research done in this video deserves my sub! Please continue doing videos we will all be waiting! ❤

This was a beautifully done video. I never even got into most of these groups, but your video makes me want to look into the members. SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK!!! 😍

2:26 'Yes, I Know' was NOT Yebin's solo debut, just her solo project and she has released solo songs before. She officially debuted as a soloist last year with 'Contrail' 4:02 Their mv were never posted on PocketDol's channel. All of their mvs except for Hug U and Woowa were posted on MBK's old abandoned channel (changed to PocketDol Labels last year) 5:56 I think it's worth mentioning that Huihyeon is still active as a songwriter and wrote for many ballad artists 8:22 Somyi is now under Hotple Ent and start streaming on TikTok (she streams like everyday lol). She even covers a lot of DIA song and talk about the group on there 8:46 we don't thank Seunghee she is weird ass ho for sabotaging DIA and Eunjin basically hate DIA lol

OMG YOU'RE BACK

I'm so excited for the video

Loved this video, from beginning to end!!

Just recently subbed. Love the channel! 😊

QUEEN JUST POSTED SLAY

about fanatics… According to old posts Via spending all time in clubs (she even started relationships with canadian model ,but recently she deleted all posts.) it’s seems like she joined model agency? rayeon also joined new agency btw Probably comeback could be, but only including Rayeon, Doi, Chaelin, Chiayi and maybe Doah (Yoonhye stoped interacting with ot7 since 2022 ) this year is going to be 5-th Fanatics debut anniversary, so… maybe comeback in august 😭…?

Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG YOU'RE BACK YESSSS SLAYYY

Omg welcome back!

I forgot u existed Anyways, welcome back❤

HI-L RAGGDHS. i LOVE too too (22) so much and their mistreatment ENRAGES ME. i also just want to say thank you for covering these groups. i have watched all of your videos on nugu girl groups, some even multiple times! your coverage is so amazing and your doing great work giving these groups the coverage and love they deserve. thank you for posting and i hope u get the motivation and time to post more!!

Welcome back!!!

WELCOME BACK!

Missed you so much Jihoons ❤

please do a video on alice cri i fear the end is near. it's almost exactly a year since doa and yeonje went on "hiatus" and almost 10 months since their last comeback. the girls post on the group instagram often but as fans we're grasping at straws hoping that ot7 still exists let alone that there will be a comeback.

Welcome back 🎊

I loved venom from BVNDIT i got reccommended the song by chance on spotify and i got addicted im sad that they disbanded :C

Eunchae was the lead vocalist of DIA. No way that she sounded as bad as they portrayed on Universe Ticket

My favorite youtubers came back at the same time! Jihoonscarat and searchingforelris

Girls’ Reverse is 100% worth checking out. It’s so fun and just a nice low stakes survival show and extremely funny. Also seeing idols all interact with each other is always so fun. I will say it is a bit sad as I believe BVNDIT’s disbandment happened right in he middle of the show so both members talk about it a bit but it still 100% worth the watch it’s the most fun idol-related project I’ve ever watched for sure.

doah is a perfect idol actually the nugu IT girl

For those interested in Sika's new group's song played at 18:31 the name is 陷阱 :) You should listen to the group, they have such good songs :D Their debut single was 出来嗨 and it's really refreshing compared to the actual kpop market

The fact i look in my playlist an some how octpath an didn't know 😢😢😢

Im Happy to see you back

I MISSED YOU 💝

13:13 I watched all of Girls Re:verse, it was nuts 😂. A lot of the girls used the semi-anonymity in a way I’ve never seen on a survival show. I don’t know if I could watch it again knowing how many idols stopped promoting after what was clearly their last attempt at any place in the industry, I couldn’t make it through the last episode.

You shouldn't blame only the kpop companies, also fandoms do play a big role in destroying the groups. So its is 50/50.

Somyi kinda active on tiktok. She doing live alot there

Welcome back

WE ARE SOOOO BACK

We need a new season of miss back or the unit (but done right)

i loved Dia I discovered them during woowoo and was obsessed with woowa so so much

I found a hi-l album in vienna for 10 euros i luckily got it in march last month. I was searching for sales literally i couldnt find anything
