This title is clickbait-y but I was just thinking right now one thing I feel a lot since I've been to long into kpop (been into bts since 2014 ish) its seeing so many promising groups not making it.
Maybe they score 2 back to back hits but then their fandom don't gain traction, the company starts making dumb decisions and next thing you know their tracks are performing worse and worse... then one member left, two members and yeah you know its over lol or when the group ends bc huge controversies or bc of members death, its always sad to see.. or when they have a lot of pre debut hype but when they debut their song dont even manage to chart
I think its because kpop fast paced nature, you kind absorb a lot in a just a small frame of time, anyways I just felt like sharing it, there's always the great part of witnessing the "rise" of many group too ngl
