[PC] Are there any girl groups from mid-sized agencies that hit big?

I thought DSP was considered a big label back when Kara hit big?

dsp was only a big label in 1st gen. kara debuted when sechkies and finkl were already done, lee hyori was out of the company, and ss501 was on a steep decline so

Fans these days doesn’t know how big is KARA back then. I mean most of gg’s in their era were iconic! I miss those moments. Damn

Actually, I think DSP would still have been considered a big company when KARA debuted. They didn't really start to go downhill until about 3 years after KARA's debut, when the founder had a stroke and had to hand over management to his incompetent relative. It was Rainbow (KARA's juniors) that really suffered. And, of course, the management became so bad that two of the KARA members tried to pull out.

they were midtier. ss501 was the only somewhat big group they still had when kara debuted and they left the company in 2010 anyway
