This is the craziest lineup change(s) I've ever seen in a K-pop group

Apeace - Wikipedia

I've never heard of any of these men

I think this is the original lineup because Wikipedia states there were 21 of them at debut.

They were apparently the most popular in Japan.

Apeace, formerly known as Double B 21 or Double B, was a South Korean boy band formed and under Golden Goose Entertainment. The group was the largest K-pop boy band, with 21 members.

The members were chosen and produced by Kim Kyungwook, known for working with groups such as H.O.T., Shinhwa and TVXQ.

Until 2015, subgroups performed 6 days a week, 2 times a day at K Theater at Yebisu Garden Place in Ebisu, Shibuya, Tokyo.

At the time they disbanded, they had members born in 1987 and 1997 in the group. Wild.

Their history is more convoluted than Metal gear solid

Same with Apeace, except they had 28 members and dozens of member changes among them

Quote from Derpcatcher

Its why I i'm not a fan of groups with major changes, I'm lucky I don't stan any groups that do, but I cannot get into a group I know who has alot of member changes or even changed their entire roster over the years.

It is just to much work for my little brain to keep up with.

Yeah, same here. I do feel really bad for all the members who stuck it out throughout the years and the new members that thought they were debuting in a seasoned group. Especially the kid who was supposed to debut in NIK. He was 22 when he won the competition. and 24 when the group finally debuted without him.
