Is the flood of solo debüts a sign of group disbandment?

My Impression - after 10 years following kpop business - solo debüts are often first indicator of group disbandment.

SNSD

- Taeyeon

- Tiffany

- Seohyun

- Hyojeon

- Sunny

Red Velvet

- Wendy

- Joy

- Seulgi/Irene subduo

Blackpink

- Jennie

- Rose

- Lisa

BigBang

- G-Dragon

MAMAMOO

- Hwasa

- ?

Next candidates:

EXO? TWICE? Super Junior? Apink?

Notes:

Covid-19 pandemic causes Financial restrictions of kpop Labels. The revenues becomes smaller.

No global concerts, No national Events.

Only Song and Album releases online!

I Hope this Trend comes to an end soon.

all bb members went solo and they're still active / bp were never that active in first place

I Hope you are right

Only SNSD and Big Bang entered an indefinite hiatus from your list. SNSD 3 years (2 if full group) after Taeyeon's debut and Big Bang 7(?) years after GD's solo debut.

They just have to solo debut at some point between group debut and disbandment. It's like saying debuting a groub is a sign that they will disband.

I need a headline to generate discussion.

Thanks for replay.

Quote from ninichan

jennie went solo 2 years after debut, and rose was supposed to go like 2 years ago...

so they've been disbanding since 2018?

I expect BB disbandment in 2022 If covid- 19 continues to force Labels cancel Concert Events Worldwide.

Quote from quark12395

lmao imagine Super Junior disbanding just because some of them went solo

Also Big Bang has more than one member who went solo.

Solo debüts can BE a sign, it doesn't force disbandment automatically.

Quote from harambelives

You may want to rethink your post because Using SNSD, big bang, Suju, Exo etc as examples for members going solo = disbandment actually invalidates your own point because those members went solo early but the groups still last 10 or more years later.

I'll consider your remark.
