Lexa

  • I. Introduction


    Lexa (레카) was a four-member co-ed group under Zeromax Entertainment. They debut in 2001 with their sole studio album, First Album: Egoistic. The group disbanded in May 2002 as the show had gone off air that they were formed to capitalize off of, which shared the same name.



    II. History and Future Endeavors

    Group leader and rapper Boom had already debuted twice prior in two boy groups, Key and Nuclear, which both also disbanded after only one album due to lack of support from their labels, despite the albums seeing moderate success. After this he would decide to go solo and become an MC on radio & music shows.


    Sua, going by the name Geum B, became a member of the co-ed group Turtles in 2003. The group disbanded in 2008 following the sudden death of member Turtle-man (yes, that was actually his name, I did not make it up). They reformed in April 2011 with a new lead member but disbanded five months later. Geum B has since then become a trot singer.


    Woojoo went on to become a solo singer, releasing his first single,"Miracle (The First Single)", in March 2005.


    G.NA later became a member of a three-member girl group that was active in China before moving on to work in custom nail art.


    In 2010, the reason the group suddenly was abandoned was revealed by Boom, while he was live on air. "The group disbanded because the CEO ran away to the Philippines, with all of the money he had made from our album and the show." Woojoo later chimed in as well and described the time as "suddenly the company ceased to exist as the events were cut off, and naturally we had to be disbanded." He also expressed concern for his female band mates, who were told they were close to being overweight "How could there not have been hardships? Geumbi (Sua's real name) collapsed from a strict diet because the female staff told her not to gain weight… her health situation was dire." He continued "We were really like family. Boom was the funniest back then. He had the best gift for talking. Before the release of the album, Boom was doing well, Geumbi was doing well, and I thought to myself that we were a really good team with an album coming out." He nervously laughed. "Boom told me to just trust him and stand in line, but when the album came out, he was sent into the military and wasn't there as he had planned." WooJoo revealed that, G.NA, is currently working in nail art after being in the three-member girl group Color that was active in China. Woozoo said, "It'll be so exciting to meet everyone again," and expressed his anticipation, saying, "I hope that one day we can all meet and talk about our pasts. I hope that everything will turn out well for all of us. I also hope that G.NA who now does nail art will shine again. I will continue to work hard in the future. I may not be the crown prince of the music industry, but I will definitely work hard to have those titles added to my name. I don't mind being called the 'slave to the music industry' in the meantime."
