Do you know a group where people are still friends with former members?

  • I was just looking around Discord till I noticed a 1 month old post in a server of a JPop group who has a bunch Korean members.


    And there was a photo from November in wich the Korean members of this group went to the army with a former pre-debut member who was suposed to debut with them but than didn't. They are still friends even tho he left the group 1.5 years ago wich was half a year before the group debuted.


    I never heard of anything like that before like there is no group I ever saw or heard of where they still keep in touch with a former member.

  • Oooh interesting, I like the groups NIK and JO1.


    I could be wrong as of its been a long time but I'm pretty sure the members of BlockB or at least P.O and Zico for example is friends with Mino (Soloist & member of Winner). (P.O and Mino are childhood friends).


    I.M of MONSTAX recently reunited with Parkha who is now a member of the Korean - Japanese group NIK. They used to be in a group together. I can't remember the name, but you should be able to find out if you search the names if you are interested. (There's a well known photo of the two that they both had black outfits and blonde hair).


    B.I and ikon. Personally even if they don't promote together, you can still see some interactions between the members and B.I. Before Bobby deleted/ archived a lot of his posts on instagram as of recently, you could see one of the comments he and B.I were talking and they both liked the post. (Truthfully I'm not sure why he got rid of the posts though).


    Wonho and Monstax. I thought I remembered about seeing an article or something about the two being seen on vacation together, and maybe something about Jeju Island(?).


    That's all I can think of though. 🤷‍♀️

  • Jaejoong and Yunho from TVXQ are thought to be friends (or at least in friendly contact). There isn't much to go on since it's likely that SM has some restrictions in place, but there are little breadcrumbs here and there that show that they still run in the same social circles and have met up at least a few times. Changmin may also be in the mix, but the evidence is more spurious.

  • Did a bit of digging out of curiosity because I've seen people mention that Love was still friendly with the members of OOO after he left. It seems that at the very least, he and Yoojung were on good terms a couple of months after his departure (possibly gaming buddies?). The company is dead set on pretending that Love doesn't exist though, so there isn't much else to go on :iconpepe:

    Yeah I think this is something about why he left because the company just said personal reasons and the members nor him gave an explanation.


    The reason Lyons wants to know is because right before he quit he made this big speech and about staying OOO forever and leading the group etc and later said something similar in a vlive then suddenly out of the blue he's leaving so everyone was like WTF.


    Some groups or companies trying to make people not exist is actually damaging to ones mental health, you can't just undo years of friendship or family,love support etc it just doesn't disappear because they left the group.

    I wasn't around at the time, but every new thing I see about his departure just makes me side eye the company more and more. Like the fact that they said it was an amicable parting, then immediately went on to treat his name like a banned curse word? That isn't good for him, the remaining members, or the fans. People need real closure ;judgingpepe:

    Well whatever it is, is between him and the members. The company dropped it after saying don't make rumors it was a personal decision.


    So I think it's mostly on him to address, he hadn't told anyone why he left
