Sensitive The end of a generation is really sad ._. (1 Viewer)

[Moguri]

With the news of Brave Girls disbanding, it just made me think, these are truely the end times of third gen GG..

Momoland just disbanded earlier, Loona is pretty much non existent anymore with 5-6? members gone and If I was more of an expert, I could probably list 10 more groups that are really struggling right now and may also send their offical disbandment notice soon.

Even BlackPink could disband soon, depending on how their contract negotions go.

Thinking about it just made me really sad

While I was not a fan of all the groups that will leave us now.. I still think all the idols are cute and sweet in their own way and deserve only the best for their hard work.

RIP third gen.. it was a wonderful time with you

EDIT:
I compiled a list based on third gen GG according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_South_Korean_girl_groups

But I assume for some of the active groups, they could potentially be disbanded and we just got no info on it or cases like Loona were the group is not officially disbanded but in a really weird state..

Brave Girls is technically 2nd gen as they debuted in 2011, but the current lineup (that was in the group when they disbanded) are all new, not original members, joined in 2015, like a 3rd gen group. But when they joined there were other members still in the group, who had debuted earlier

i'm gonna cry fr


edit: me and my bf were discussing how it was likely the label's fault lowkey and i don't disagree

but in the end like you already said, the group that is disbanding now is a third gen group based on the members

Yeah ig, Brave Girls is a bit weird to me in that regard, but they are considered a 2nd gen group

oh no sorry

You mean for Brave Girls? Yeah it seems very likely, just check the other threads here regarding brave girls, we share the same sentiment!

 

[litc]

But for 3rd gen ggs, yeah I get it, bc most are around 7 years old, and despite Red Velvet and Twice, very popular 3rd gen groups 7+ years old going on, a lot don't last that long, CLC, Gfriend, etc. are gone

But even groups like Oh My Girl are around despite being not from the Big 3, and being 7+ years old

No like all the groups I like minus 4th gen debuted when I was not even a teenager or 13, toddler/not yet double digits for 2nd gen/early 3rd groups, the 4th gen groups are my age
