Kpop News

2016 has been quite overwhelming. From news of member taking a break due health problem to groups disbandment, thankfully we have good music to console us. 

Jeong Hyung Don recently returned on Weekly Idol after suffering from panic disorder and some idols suffers the same predicament. Bang Yong Guk, leader of B.A.P is noticeably absent on "Skydive" promotion that is currently going on. Crayon Pop also missing it's maknae Soyul who has shocked the Kpop world by announcing her upcoming marriage to Legendary group H.O.T. leader Moon Hee Jun. Winner EXIT concept modelled after Big Bang's MADE is currently on hiatus due to member Nam Tae Hyun reportedly suffered Panic disorder. However this week YG shocked the fans with official announcement that Nam Tae Hyun would be leaving the group.

In the same day 2NE1 is officially disbanded, Past member Minzy left the group early and the time YG release a statement that the group will continue as trio. However that comeback never happen. With the addition of the new maknae, Heo Young Ji that was selected from a project,  other Kara members did not re-sign with the company and hence the group disbanded. Although never announced officially disbanded, looking at DSP history, it is unlikely and also unfortunately it would be the same fate with the group Rainbow. 

Although their friendship seems the closest among all the other idol groups, 4 Minute officially disbanded due to the lukewarm response on their last promotion. HyunA is the sole member with the company. Cube is not having the best year because Beast minus Jang Hyun Seung is leaving the company. Beast members are currently trying to emulate Shinhwa's path.  Beast return as 5 members were positively receive and I am hopeful that they could return successfully with or without a new name because Cube owns the name. 

Jia of Miss A also left the group this year, currently Miss A is said to remain as a 3 member group which has yet to happen... Fei did debut as a solo this year but the response were cold because of the controversial statement in her SNS.  Speaking of SNS, Tiffany made a stupid mistake twice on Instagram that receive a huge backlash that made her went into hiatus.
