I thought BP is getting Mamamoo'd but this is worse

Quote from randkpopstan

Yeah this is very bad, a soft disbandment worse than an actual official disbandment, I would feel bad for blinks but they deserve all of this and more.

Yes. They deserve the total annihilation. A nuclear apocalypsis should be the best scenario. Sure, we all die, but that's a price im willing to pay to see them suffer.

Quote from Slayurfaves

I got this from here so I'm assuming it was more an agreement than contract

Display Spoiler

In June, RBW announced that Wheein decided not to renew her contract with the agency, but had signed an extended agreement to participate with MAMAMOO in some group activities, including albums and concerts, until December 2023.

You serious ? I will assume that you are young

Let me explain : When you have an agreement in a professional environment, especially when it's an agreement with financial issues (like concert, albums...), you enter into a contract. Otherwise it does not respect the law, this allows you to have proof in the event of a problem ...

girl, please maybe I didn't explain it well I understand it's a contract but what i mean it's not exactly like bp's contract renewal which is a new term a new contract but with wheen it's more like: " an existing contract to extend the term for additions period of time" most a short period of time

I missed out on the thread about groups that are technically still active but will never come back again.

I dont think BP is that bad but it has been pretty clear for a long time that BP will be the next Mamamoo, a group in name only. They've probably got enough stored material for one more group comeback and then it will be radio silence indefinitely.

Kang Daniel too! He was doing fine at the beginning of it but not so much anymore lol (I think?)

I think the dating "scandal" hurt him a lot.

He was "too new" to be "playing around" instead of working hard as well (not my opinion, but that of quite a few of his former fans).

I applied to be Jennie’s EA

Quote from Dreamer95

How many people you know who combine both activities?

Quite a few.

Kang Daniel? Lay? B.I? Zico? Rain? Hyolyn? PSY? Yubin? Jay Park?

I mean even if it wasn't done before there is first time for everything, stay tuned

Nope, what really hinders him is not having access to the kind of ressources and exposure that a big company usually offers.

The dating scandal was years ago, it might have had an initial impact on a portion of his fandom back then but his fandom was still strong regardless.

We tend to underestimate how much company backing and connections play in getting access to exposure and marketing push. Daniel is now independent so every opportunity he gets, he had to go and negotiate himself to get it, with his name and branding as only leverage. Navigating the industry as an independant entity is just a lot harder (but that's the price to pay for complete freedom over your career).

Also, the current market for male solo idols ( and by "solo idols", I mean actual soloists, without a group) is not that flourishing in general. If you actually compare Daniel with his other soloist counterparts (ex: other former W1 or X1 members) he is actually doing quite well despite everything.

BI, Zico, CL, Hyolyn are examples of idols/artists who are active as singers while being the CEO of their labels though

Well, they going okay because they don't have a connection with groups anymore, but for Jennie situation we can just see how YG just want to keep BP with different purpose

It's been obvious for ages Jennie wants to do more solo work and have even more control. She often tried to take charge with BP. So I am not surprised whatsoever.

Remember when people tried to say she doesn't like being an idol?

Good for her!

Wait I though this was her own fashion brand a music label will definitely be more interesting though

Okay, you have a point.

I forgot about the drama with his agency then.
