"Hiatus" Or A Clean Disbandment? (1 Viewer)

[RandAlThor]

It depends on the case.
For pristin and afterschool some clarity would be nice.
Fx, snsd most other older groups i understand.

depends if it's a hiatus like SNSD do currently where they are on hiatus but show everytime their desire to comeback as a group very soon
or a hiatus like f(x) where they are on hiatus but we have no news about them and their desire to comeback because only luna talk about it

i like a hiatus like snsd where we still have news about the group like when they talk about when they would want to comeback etc...

but between a clean disbandment and a hiatus like after school and pristin, i prefer a disbandment at least it's clear

I’d rather have a clean disbandment it gives the members more opertunities to do acting or go solo
Instead of waiting years for them to have comeback and getting my hopes up

Disbandment

As sad as it is to see some groups go I would hate to be constantly thinking "When are they going to come back?" especially since the majority of the time they hardly ever do.

Disbandment. SISTAR did the right thing. We know we won't be getting a new song from them. Whereas After School and f(x) are left hanging.

It depends. I would say clean disbandment in most cases. But if its a situation like Girls Generation where they are on good terms, were regularly active until recently and there is no official disbandment for brand value I wouldn't mind.

I mean Fin.k.l is still technically not disbanded but on an indefinite hiatus since 2006 so...


I mean as long as they are not deleting their music​

At first I thought, hands down, clean disbandment - but then I really got to thinking after someone mentioned SM and how they rarely disband, so they can keep profiting from the brand the groups have made, and realized that with some terms met I think a hiatus (in some cases) isnt too bad. The cases are limited, though, and the terms would have to fit specifics too.

If the group technically was doing sub unit work, solo work, or was open to do more of said solo work on their own (like modeling, acting, performing in different areas of the arts, doing fashion work or writing music, doing radio DJ or MC hosting, etc) while still having the solid backing of the group and the other members (given that they all get along and there isn't some sort of tension between them etc) and were receiving royalties from their work with the group name attached, then even though it would be hard for a comeback to have a larger impact due to gans leaving, I would be okay with it.

If the above was not met however and they were missing out on opportunities like the aforementioned because the company wouldn't let them while "part of the group" and essentially dungeoned them, then no. Definitely clean disbandment.

I would go for whatever is best for the idols honestly, in their given situation and with their given company.

As a fan, it sometimes sucks when a group is more on a hiatus, but when the members of said group can achieve and participate in things solo while being on a group hiatus it isnt that bad and I know they are getting to do what they want simultaneously, even of I'm not going to be getting a group comeback soon or at all.

Clean disbandment anyday. No hope is better than false hope

And it frees the members from the dungeon. I swear my precious Nayoung is rotting away and wasting her prime years while Pristin's on forever hiatus
