 Excluding groups that have disbanded. Including groups that don't renew their contracts with their first company, but not disbanded and still continue activities as a group (Ex: Got7)

Shinhwa (1998~)

SHINee (2008~)

2AM (2008~)

BTS (2013~)

Got7 (2014~)

Mamamoo (2014~)

Seventeen (2015~)

Twice (2015~)

-Red Velvet has never had any member changes ever since they renewed their contract, right?
 ㄴThey added Yeri to the group. They debuted as a 4-members group at first.

-Got7, Mamamoo, SF9...?

-Block B has never had any member changes too...

-All of KARD's members renew their contract...

-What about Blackpink?

-Basically what you're saying is... Idol groups that never had any member changes from their debut up until their contract renewal...

-There's not a lot of them. Even top idol group like SNSD had a member change. Beast, even though they're popular, also had a member change. So did Oh My Girl, Apink, etc.

-SHINee right after Shinhwa...? I'm sure a lot of idol groups debuted in between them, but I guess maintaining an idol group is not easy after all...

-Should g.o.d be included this post or not...

-That applies to SF9 and Brown Eyed Girls...

-These groups are really amazing. It seems like maintaining an idol group is not easy at all.

-What about 2PM?
 ㄴ2PM originally had 7 members...
 ㄴJay Park was actually from 2PM...ㅋㅋㅋ

-Davichi

Idol groups that maintain their original line up since debut, with no withdrawal or member additions

-Youngji finally met Markㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Youngji is so luckyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Youngji is such a great dancerㅋㅋ

-Youngji is so good... She could be recruited as NCT's new member at this point...

-Youngji and her 'Bubble' guysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That guy with the black shirt has a really unique look...

-Youngji subscribes to Mark and Jaehyun's Bubble??? That's cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Youngji should just join NCT...

-Youngji doing the challenge with her biasesㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope she would invite them to her Youtube show one dayㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm so freaking jealousㅋㅋㅋ Both of Youngji and Jaehyun and Markㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is there anything that our Youngji can't do?ㅠㅠ

-The guys that Youngji subscribes to in Bubble...

-She's dancing with the guys she subscribes to in Bubble...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even her outfit matches theirs...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ



Lee Youngji joins the 2 Baddies Challenge with Mark and Jaehyun

 1. Be in an idol group from a big company that everybody knows, but never receive Daesang awards even when your juniors and seniors do. 

VS

2. Be in an idol group from a small-to-medium company that miraculously receive Daesang awards. You do have juniors, but they are not as popular as you. Your group is basically the one that makes your company grows bigger. 

theqoo

-2 with no doubt. If I wanted a safe option, I think I'd just stick to studying.

-1. It's just a Pop Music Awards, no one really cares about that. If Blackpink never received any Daesang Awards, people would just be like, "Blackpink never won that awards?" and don't think much about it. It's basically meaningless and it has been that way for quite a long time. 

-2. I mean, you gotta make some money, right?

-1. That's the best option if you want a long-lasting career. I know because I've stanned groups that's similar to those optionsㅠㅠ

-2. Look at BTS. 

-1. Companies are really important. No matter how talented or good-looking you are, it doesn't matter if your company is shitty. 

-If I were a female idol, I'd choose 1. If I were a male idol, I'd choose 2.

-2. It's not like you're gonna stay with that company forever, anyway.

-1. Being under a big company guarantees you a long-lasting fame. 

-Anything that makes more money, I guess...

-Not just popular, but receive Daesang Awards? Of course, I'd choose 2 with no doubt.

-2. Isn't it cool? Being the miracle of a small-to-medum company?

-1. If you want a long-lasting career, you'd have to sign under a safe and stable company. 

Would you rather be in an idol group from a big company, but never gets Daesang awards or be in a group from small to medium company that gets a mircale?

-It's a great show...??

-I have only finished 3 episodes, but I'm really enjoying this drama...

-This drama is so good, I always look forward to the weekend because of it...

-My mom and I watch this drama. However, my mom stopped watching it after the 4th episode. I really enjoy this drama, but sometimes it just gets so frustrating. I think that's one of the charming point of this drama. I'm always looking forward to the weekend just for this drama. 

-Out of all the other dramas I watched recently, this one is surely the best.

-I really enjoy this drama. It's really frustrating, but that's what makes it a good show. 

-I don't really like this dramaㅠㅠ It was fine up until the 3rd episode. I stopped watching it after the 4th episode.

-There are some scenes that I can relate to and sometimes, there are also scenes that's just questionable. It gets worse. I don't understand where the whole show is going. 

-I really enjoy watching this drama and I have no thoughts on dropping it, but I can totally agree. They're reaching the 6th episode and yet they keep giving us the same problems. I think they're way too focused on one problem. I guess I'll just watch it with no thoughts from now. The first two episodes were indeed the best. And it's true that no episodes can beat the first two episodes. 

-It's not going down the hills.

'Little Women' is going down the hills, am I the only one who doesn't like those three sisters?

-Whoa... That looks like a movie...

-She looks so pretty. She totally suits the hairstyle, makeup, and outfit. 

-I got f*cking chills when she asked, 'Who are you?' in the endㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Jennie is such a great actress...

-Whoa... This looks like a movie. Jennie is really charming in so many ways.

-I don't get the meaning of the whole video, thoughㅋㅋㅋ Is the scent so good that you're willing to steal it from a stranger's house? Or is the scent so good that you can have another side of yourself?

-She's really charming. This looks like a short movie. 

-I think this is a movie, not a perfume campaign video. Jennie is so charming. 

-I don't understand the video, but I love itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I think they're just using their perfume as an excuse to work with Jennie...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa, she's a better actress than I expected her to be. I'm very shocked to see the quality of this video. I feel like it's saying that the scent is so good that you're willing to steal it from somebodyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Jennie is... Jennie. My jaw literally dropped as I watch this video.

It seems like they have been gaining confidence in their live singing as they perform in offline events. They try not to miss any adlibs, it really shows how much effort they put in. 


theqoo

-They sound really good!!!

-Liz has a really really great voice, not to mention that she's also a great singerㅠㅠ

-Is that their side-track? It's a great song...

-I've been listening to Royal on repeat...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why am I tearing up to see Wonyoung singing full of confidence like that?ㅠㅠ My baby has grown a lotㅠㅠ

-Is Liz the main vocal in this group?

-My friends went to that festival yesterday and they all told me IVE did really wellㅋㅋㅋ

-Liz looks so busy dancing and singing at the same time, but she still nails bothㅠㅠ So adorableㅠㅠ

-Liz did so wellㅠㅠ I hope she'll sing an OST or maybe debut as a solo one day...

-I went there yesterday and I have to admit that they sound really good singing live! Yujin's vocal sounds very refreshing

-It really shows that they all gained confidenceㅋㅋㅋ Yujin, Liz, and Rei have always been that good. Wonyoung and Leeseo have improved a lot. 

-I was there. They all looked so confidence that it puts me in a really good mood. It totally eleveted the atmosphere and made the show even more excitingㅎㅎㅎㅎ

-They're all working so hardㅠㅠㅠ


IVE seems to have gained confidence in singing live

 Fans of a Hongkong girl group have been accusing Blackpink of plagiarizing their idol's MV. They even made comparisons of the MV, it's chaotic. 

1. Hat

2. Sports car

3. Elevator

4. Bathtub

5. Walking away from the camera

6. Choreography

Hongkong BLINKS and Netizens have been asking this fandom to stop because it's embarrassing. The fandom of that Hongkong girl group said to keep these similarities in mind, even if it's not plagiarization.


theqoo

-What kind of bullshit is this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If that's how it works for you, you should keep in mind that 2NE1 already did all of these 10 years agoㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is probably the funniest thing I heard todayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Are they serious...?? I can't stop f*cking laughing...

-What the f*ck?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't think Blackpink even knows that girl group exists...

-GD wore that hat a few years ago, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Who watches MVs of Hongkong girl groups?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I didn't even know that Hongkong has girl groups...

-I would only agree if that Hongkong girl group was the one who invented that hat, elevator, sports car, and bathtub. 

-I think the most similar thing about the MV is that they're all breathing. You're not counting that in?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this really an issue?? I feel like this is just one of their ways to attract attention. It's not even similar at all. 

-I don't listen to Blackpink's songs but I think this is a reach.

-Thanks, OP. I've been having a bad day but I smiled because of this post. 

-Did... they do this to promote the group...?








Blackpink's Shut Down M/V is plagiarizing a Hongkong girl group's M/V?

Jung Joongji, actor and singer who participated in Produce 101 took his own life at the age of 30. This news was delivered on the 20th by his own mother through Twitter. She tweeted, "This is Jung Joongji's mother. My son, Joongji, took his own life. I can't explain how I feel right now." Along with the tweet, she also attached two pictures.

He was cremated on the 11th at 9AM. 

Jung Joongji was known for his 'Boyfriend material' pictures on Facebook and other SNS. He starred in musical 'Prison' and 'The Essence of Love'. He participated in Produce 101 S2 back in 2017, but was eliminated after ranking #64 and receiving 86,864 votes. In 2017, he won the 'Hanbit Awards' at a hallyu organizing committee. In 2018, he held his first own fanmeeting. 

theqoo

-He was only 30, he still had a long way ahead of himㅠㅠ 

-It's even sadder because I know his name and how he looks like. I hope he rests in peace. 

-Seems like netizens just killed another person. I remember him because I watched Produce 101ㅜㅜ I hope he rests in peace. 

-I didn't watch Produce 101, but I remember him because he used to get a lot of malicious comments back then. Oh my goodness.

-I hope this is just a rumor...

-What...? This is very shocking. I can't imagine how difficult it must've been for him. I hope he rests in peace. 

-Oh Gosh. I saw this on Twitter and I hoped it was a false rumor...

-No way...

-Didn't he have a younger sister...?

-???? Is this real? I'm very shocked right now...

-Hul. It must've been really tough for him. As one of Produce 101's viewers, I'm really sad to hear this news. The Tweet was posted on the 20th but it just started to gain attention now. I hope he rests in peace.

-Hul, Jung Joongji??? A few days ago, I randomly thought of him and looked up his recent whereabouts...

 TripleS is said to be debuting with 24 members. So far, 8 of them have been revealed. They will be debuting 2 sub-units this year. 

They reveal the system of their debut:

The members will be divided into two dimensions

Each team will consist of 4 members


Masters all over the world will get to choose which members will be debuting in each group

These Masters will get two options

There's a switch button in every options


You can swap the members to the other team if you click on it


Then, you can finalize the groups you create using COMO

To summarize it all, there are 2 sub-units and the fans can choose which members will be in each group through voting. 

TripleS' first dimensions are Acid Angel from Asia and (KR)ystal Eyes. The 'Masters' can choose the members they want in each group. With this system, they involve the fans to create their group. On 21st, Yoon Seoyeon and Kim Nakyoung were revealed. They will be debuting in either Acid Angel from Asia or (KR)ystal Eyes, depending on the votes. The masters will also get to choose between Jung Hyerin and Kim Soomin on the 22nd, Kim Chaeyeon and Gong Yubin on the 23rd, and Lee Jiwoo and Kim Yooyeon on the 24th. The final line-up of Acid Angel from Asia and (KR)ystal Eyes will be revealed on the 25th at 9PM. 

Starting from tomorrow, TripleS will hold a voting on their official applications. Fans get to be involved and personally choose the line-up of each sub-unitsㅋㅋㅋ
Fortunately, all of these revealed members will get to debut in the end. A lot of fans worried if the less popular members would get eliminated, but that will not happen. 

And these sub-units are temporary, but...
100,000 copies

Chaeyeon: Will we go bankrupt if we don't reach that goal?

Not bankrupt, but disbandment...

An uneasy task

If the sub-unit couldn't reach the goal, they will be disbanded!

That means if the sub-unit reaches the goal, they will be continuing their activities...
I think this is going to give fans a really hard time. 

MODHAUS launches the first idol group that involves their fans in the making

theqoo


-The goal is to sell 100,000 copies. It's like threatening the fans, "Here is the group you create, now go and buy their albums"

-Is that Kim Yooyeon from My Teen Girl?? And is that also Lee Jiwoo from My Teen Girl??

-What is this all about... It sounds weird...

-I think they're using this strategy so they can blame it all on the fans if the group flops...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's similar to Produce 101's system. I don't think they're the first idol group to have this system.

-You're saying that the group will have 24 members, not 8?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just... play games. Why are you all so obsessed with turning games into reality?

-100,000 copies...? My favorite group doesn't even sell that muchㅠㅠ Why are the standards these days so high?

-Do they really think it's easy for girl groups to sell 100,000 copies?

-100,000 copies are way too much. They're being so mean to these young girls.

-100,000 copies?!?? They set that goal to a girl-group who just debuted??? Are they joking?

-Isn't this the same system that Japanese idol groups use? Correct me if I'm wrong
