Discover the story of the K-pop girl group who announced their disbandment just 5 days after their debut
Nowadays, within K-pop, it is increasingly common to see groups overcoming the famous “seven-year curse”, where, in previous generations, whenever a formation reached its seventh year together, a disbandment was more likely, due to the end of his contract.
Today, even if all the members decide to leave the agency responsible for creating the group, there is still the possibility that the members will acquire the rights to the name, and continue to promote together, as is the case with groups like GOT7 and iKON.
Furthermore, there are also some groups that have become recognized for their longevity, such as god and Koyote, who have been together for 25 years, TVXQ!, which celebrates 20 years of debut in 2023, in addition to Girls’ Generation, which is the longest-running girl group, totaling 16 years since their debut.
However, there are some very peculiar cases of groups that last much less than that. X1, for example, a group formed on the reality show Produce X 101, lasted just five months, due to a vote manipulation scandal on the program responsible for creating them.
Although X1’s period of activity, unfortunately, was extremely short, there is one group that surpassed this milestone, and remained in activity for just five days: SOLIA.
