I’ve always wondered: why do members in K-pop groups insist that everything will be okay when they leave their original label, yet insist they’re one, strong group? While it may be wishful and optimistic thinking, K-pop history is not kind to groups that do this.

When groups leave their label, but announce they’ll still be the same (or even stronger), don’t believe the hype. Chances are, the group is heading for an eventual breakup.
