Tf is going on at Woollim... Outside of those two groups, this leaves only Drippin, Eunbi, and Lee Sujeong (and they've barely done anything with her).

Good luck to the three that remain.

It seems that the company has gone bankrupt. Plus, Woollim has a history of extremely mismanaging & mistreating all of their artists.

Also, many ex staff members that used to work at the company have all given the company one star reviews as well as talking about how bad working at Woollim entertainment was - well there used to be a tweet that was posted by I think pannchoa regarding this which was 3 years ago. I tried going back to find the actual tweet of the official source, but seems like it got deleted a while ago? The only tweet I can find as of right now is this.

Ah, that's a pity. Hopefully their artists can get picked up by another company.

Poor Golden Child, I should've known that when Tag left there were issues

 

[StirFriedPanda]

I wonder what Eunbi will do if Woolim folds.

 

[Moguri]

aww.. saw the news earlier, 2 more groups disbanding.. can this year finally end

I'm surprised though some of the members choise to remain at that agency.. I just assumed everyone left

I wonder what Eunbi will do if Woolim folds.

I would be quite confident that she can find a new label

I saw a tweet mentioning that a member’s girlfriend said that his group (drippin) will disband soon.

 

[StirFriedPanda]

I agree if they will let her go.

That sucks. They seemed to be on a decent trajectory. Not the biggest group or anything, but solid for their niche.

 

[Tokki]

oh?

I'm happy that the members of the golcha are leaving. It sucks that there's little hope of a reunited group, but I'd rather them be happy outside of Woollim rather than staying. Rocket punch is the same but to a lesser extent since they're younger.

Yeah Drippin are the biggest losers here. They're gonna be finished even though they barely started. I love their music but that doesn't matter if they weren't given a chance by the larger k-pop fandom. The rest of the acts who left/are still under Woollim have a good enough fandom or have already experienced success/hit their natural peak. Drippin has nothing. It's really unfair.
