With those bullying scandals will you risk to debut 4 member group?

Because if one member will be out due to scandal then you will only have 3 members left, if another get cold or simple injury then whole promotions are fuxed...

ps: it's about "past school bullying", not about in-group bullying.

It doesn't matter what number you debut if they get into a bullying scandal it's over for everyone

nope it isn't when it's just one member's past actions in mid-high school

But if it's a big group and it's your only popular member, you're just a screwed.

nah not really, it's easier to cover up loss of one member when group has 8-9 members or even more

Quote from quark12395

While that's true, you effectively kill your popularity if it's a popular member.

Like for instance Golden Child, I'm not in the fans but I know Bomin and Jaehyun are well known outside the fandom and if something happened to them what little they have could be jeopardized.

Or for a group like Astro. While Cha Eunwoo is several times more popular on his own than Astro as a whole and even though the other five members are more than capable to continue, something like this happening to Eunwoo would basically kill the group.

(_{Now I need to go perform some kind of ritual to keep this from happening.})

I bet that only akgaes wouldn't buy next albums... or some Knetz lol.

But you are kind of digging into the world of idols-actors, when like 95% of idols won't ever get main acting roles.

4 member minus 1 so 3 member group is still fine
