Before G-idle there was EXID

  • Soyeon is always praised as the OG Producer Idol, BUT before her there was LE.


    LE, the writer and producer if their music made BEAUTIFUL idol music.

    When EXID wasn’t catching public appeal in the end of 2nd gen/beginning of 3rd gen their company told them they were disbanding after this next comeback if it didnt do well. After funding being cut, being thrown around a terrible management scheme and literally being told its over, LE wrote another hit per usual, but this time Hani became the first truly viral hot girl.

    Not even on stage…. On a street none the less. Wearing a button down and H&M hot pants……….. they were back and on top.


    I just feel like LE, Hani and Solji don’t get their flowers for what they kind if created. (Hyerin and Junghwa are my favorites for their voices but Solji started as their VOCAL COACH, Hani was an it girl for like as long as Jennie, and LE literally invented them)


    I even feel like they kind of inform Gidle a little, their rap (LE is def inspo for Hyuna, and in turn…), i can see the transition inspo between rap and pop parts even. Thank you god LE.

  • EXID was THAT group! They pulled a Brave Girls and were able to administrate their success wisely in the following comebacks.


    This was iconic back then

  • I was around for EXID's original lineup with the three future members of BESTie, I was there for when Solji and Hyelin were added to the group, I was there for when they dropped this amazing song that doesn't get enough love

    OMG! One can NEVER knoe everything, indeed. It's as clear my love for LSF. OMG! It's undoubtable during the chorus part. Why keep her vocals? For the sake of greatness? Really? Messed up

    My head just exPLODED

  • There is more Hyuna/EXID/BESTie lore too


    Uji, the former main vocal of EXID, and later the main vocal of BESTie, did the backing vocals for one of Hyuna's biggest hits, Bubble Pop


    You can hear her in the chorus

    As a T-ara fan, it's still so weird to me that they did that, but then again their company made a lot of weird decisions.

  • Wasnt bestie also like originally going to be whole other girl group with apink or something?

  • Wasnt bestie also like originally going to be whole other girl group with apink or something?

    Never heard of that lore.


    The reasons why Uji, Hyeyeon and Haeryung left EXID and then re-debuted as BESTie are still a mystery over a decade later. Some speculated back then that the girls had contracts through different companies even though they were in the same group, but who really knows?


    I was thrilled to see EXID rise and happy they're still performing today. I lament that BESTie lost all momentum after 2014, the same year EXID rose.
