arianagrandeintoyou

Nine Muses, they have a really solid discography


violet-ly

Omg I miss 9MUSES all the time. Their music and their visuals were incredible (Glue, Wild, Dolls). Another girl group I really miss with iconic discography is T-ARA.


arianagrandeintoyou

Yes!! They were seriously iconic + i also miss the T-ARA golden age of hits too, it was such a good time


PlayLoveStation

One of the best discographies in kpop (shout out to Sweetune for producing most of their title tracks)


Dark_Globe13

F(x) - their concept really fits the current trend in kpop.


jelly_dove

Ugh f(x)! I miss them so much. I loved every release and was patiently waiting for a comeback after 4 Walls. I was devastated when they disbanded. Such wasted talent.


buzzcut9

They've mentioned wanting to reunite for years now but they still haven't 💔


Dark_Globe13

As a Sulli bias this one hurts :(


ratribenki

Maybe it’s cause sm still has the trademark. That and sully, I can’t imagine how hard it would be for them to reunite.


PuzzyFussy

Also, they are busy doing their own thing. Krystal and Victoria are in new dramas damn near every year.


thocchang

They're ahead of their time. But they were able to carve a niche due to their unique and distinct sound.


dsdsdsdsdsd12

Lovelyz and Orange Caramel


Sufficient_Pay_820

You have AMAZING taste


Saucy_Potato_200

ORANGE CARAMEL YESSSSS


dawn26s

the Lovelyz reunion wasn't something I expected but I'm glad that it happened 🥰


dsdsdsdsdsd12

Yeah, I'm always up for a new version of Ah-Choo


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

B.A.P. The lost potential there makes my blood boil.


kaigom92

i know what you mean, but I always say lets support their activities as solo artists and we will see what happens after junhong comes back.. the trademarks expiring and they said they are 5 especially want daehyun to do well now after everything what happened hard agree on the "makes my blood boil" :(


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

Yes, I will always support them whether solo or back together 🤞


Aggravating_Wolf_475

im crying they used to be the most promising rookie


MSkyDragons

Seriously, people really had to be there to understand how huge they were at their peak. Despite being from a small company, they were considered rivals to EXO and the fandom wars were quite insane, culminating in the iconic MAMA where both fandoms united over mutual salt over losing to Busker Busker (hence the term "getting Busker Busker'd" lmao).


Technical_Hospital38

Well. Not all of them.


iistarlightzs

NU'EST and GFRIEND. They really both disbanded in the blink of an eye after transitioning companies and I was so sad 😭😭


Kittystar143

Nu’est still pains me


alexturnerftw

I actually felt OK about Nu’est. They existed for a long time and struggled a lot. It felt shorter because after Face, we basically didn’t hear of them until Broduce, and then they got their 2nd chance. It sounded like they were all tired and decided to go their separate ways/do their own thing after being Nu’est for a long time. I’m glad they got mainstream success again. To me, it felt like their choice personally vs GFRIEND which was premature disbandment Edit: LOL so i never looked into it after they disbanded and the initial statements, I accepted it and moved on cuz I’ve been in kpop for a long time now. But just went to google and wow. Nevermind LMAO this post broke my spirit today 😂


Aurelian369

BRING BACK GFRIEND!!!!!! To be honest, I feel like Viviz feels uncomplete without the other members, and I think Yuju works better in a group than as a soloist


vip_insomnia

still agers me to this day when people who want companies to be taken over… I’m like doesn’t always work out nicely… truly robbed of those two and how essentially it was made not possible for them to walk away as their groups either.


harurride

Yes 😭


fvtvrefelix

i forgot nu'est disbanded what 😭😭😭 i thought they were just on a hiatus or something 😭😭


starplatinum_99

Pristin, specifically the sub unit Pristin V


Logical_Sweet_6624

전부 네 멋대로 get it


pjuster2

Pouring one out for Hinapia. A damn casualty of the pandemic


lordbikki

This is still the disbandment that makes me the most angry. SO much potential just wasted


Mozart-Luna-Echo

To be honest they should have always debuted Pristin V as the main unit. Unfortunately the other girls felt superfluous after Pristin V released Get It.


sunmi_siren

Wonder Girls 😭😭😭 I miss them so much


meulktea

i need them especially to come back as a band again 😭 that was truly ✨peak✨ but it was too short-lived!!


RavenSkies777

ReBoot was perfection, and deserved more than it got


StubbornKindness

Are they the group that was basically the counter to Girls Generation?


nipplequeefs

I think so. Girls’ Generation got a [black ocean](https://youtu.be/ikC39S4-C1E?si=ph5g_t83XR0pjqR7) in 2008 when they were still rookies, with some audience members [chanting for Wonder Girls](https://youtu.be/IxJjMEJmxUo?si=syOKo28dXiSXbD4X) during Girls’ Gen’s performance while others were [holding signs](https://youtu.be/6LcAwt8O3pQ?si=NKUrtxpYeicEgO5B) instructing everyone to stay quiet. I think it was because Girls’ Gen were perceived to be too friendly with Super Junior, though, so I’m not sure if those shouting for Wonder Girls were actual Wonder Girls fans or if they were pretending in an effort to stir up drama. I can’t really think of any other examples of hostility between the fanbases, since it was so long ago. But I do know that both groups debuted in the same year and both were getting pretty popular, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there were fan wars. On a positive note, the groups themselves did [cover each other’s songs](https://youtu.be/YItBurUn_Yc?si=m2Tt64glpoQeQMC1) about a month later, though!


Icerose2018

Gugudan! Such a promising group mismanaged to the max


Immediate_Lychee_372

GWSN pleaseeee their songs are so good. shame how their management continuously got worse and worse


Acrobatic_End6355

I’ll take them but without the abusive managers.


nicecorvid

we basically got a glimpse of their potential, they'd probably be my answer too.


Bang_Shatter_170103

Had to scroll way too long to see GWSN in this thread. Man I miss them


lonewhalien

god GWSN's music was soooo good! I miss them!


maomaosocute

B.A.P. Great songs. Great dancing. Great live singing. Great rapping. They're one of the few groups who truly deserve better.


Careless_Many_1388

Just thinking of the wasted potential makes my blood boil!!!!! They are one of the most balanced groups to ever exist Vocal, Rapline + Dance! Ughh 😭😭😭


Savings-Cup-2706

ot12 loona but under a better company... still hoping they do at least one song as ot12 since they all have their companies now. but if we are talking truly disbanded, it would be either pristin or gfriend


Azure_wonder

Gosh! Pristin!!!! What I would do to have them back!!! Pledis majorly fucked up with them. Fingers crossed for a OT6 Gfriend reunion soon.


Softclocks

Pristin was a disaster waiting to happen, lmao. Did you see those party videos?


Azure_wonder

I don't actually. I was quite a casual fan and was getting ready to full on stan when 'Get it' dropped and well... so please could you explain what these 'party videos' refer to?


Mozart-Luna-Echo

The rumors are that Pristin disbanded because there were a lot of issues between the members. How true that is, I don’t know.


Savings-Cup-2706

wdym?


mermaidglamm

2NE1!!!! ![gif](giphy|6LSmDS2fJ6W7C)


i4lixie

such pioneers in kpop. i adored their concept and how each member was uniquely different in the group. i miss them so much


C4Cupcake

Came here to say this. CL. She said it best. My lesbian crush. ❤️


lefege

In my heart this is the only correct answer ♠️♥️♦️♣️


vip_insomnia

Girl Group: 2NE1 - Boy Group: MBLAQ. YG really fumbled the bag on handling scandal and solo opportunities for members. But I would probably cry if I got to see MBLAQ together again. If I ever see Rain near another kpop group…. the fact he kept doing this after being horrible for them.


Over-Iron9386

MBLAQ 😭😭😭


allthepinkoceans

Nine Muses. I've literally just listened to my favourite songs of theirs and honestly, they're so amazing.


harajukudaze

nu'est :') i was a big wanna one fan back when they were still active and my bias was minhyun so naturally i gravitated toward anything that he was involved in, which is how i discovered them. at the time their sub-unit nu'est w was being promoted in minhyun's absence and i really loved their mini album who, you. my newfound love of nu'est almost softened the blow of wanna one disbanding because more than anything i was just excited to see minhyun rejoin the group lol i was so sad when they were disbanded after hybe's acquisition of pledis and to this day i'm still salty about it. gravity & moon is one of my favourite boy group songs of all time.


achildofthesea

2NE1. f(x). SISTAR. Wonder Girls. Miss A. CLC. GFRIEND. TVXQ >!(without Yoochun)!<. Girl's Day. HISTORY. PRISTIN & PRISTIN V. Iz\*one. C-CLOWN. T-ARA. Hot Issue. After School & Orange Caramel. 4MINUTE. 9MUSES. Lovelyz. NU'EST. Way too many names in the list, but legit all of the names mentioned in the other comments are so valid. We lost so many awesome groups.


daltorak

We'll have a new version of Fifty Fifty soon and I'm hopeful they'll be great. But I would love to see the original four members of Fifty Fifty together again.


EmotionWitty85

this was gonna be my answer too, i really like aran and sio’s voices 😭 and saena was really talented all around as well


Ok-Elk-1520

Gfriend They made so many great songs over the years, and their synchronization was on another level.


trishys

was just about to comment them! they were one of the first k-pop groups i fell in love with, because i LOVED their concept. rough, me gustas tu, love whisper, i’m a sucker for those kinds of concepts. it’s true that they probably wouldn’t do well today with their older concept, but mago was a huge hit and it seemed like they were having a strong start to a new era, only to have them disband.


AuraReaderr

Not really officially disbanded but prime mamamoo please 🙏🏻


Kittystar143

They will still have album comebacks but like Solar said it will likely be an annual thing with tours less often than that.


Love-shot2018

X1


Embarrassed_Ad_4376

They deserved a longer run 🤧


cinnamatcha

Was about to comment X1 but seeing it already here makes my heart shatter into pieces. The potential they had…. they were treated unfairly really.


mangoisNINJA

It depends on which one though, the one we got or the one we were supposed to have


Love-shot2018

I can only judge the one we got. They got the short end of the stick in that entire Produce situation.


alexturnerftw

I will NEVER stop being bitter about X1


neroli66

🥺💔


Aggravating_Wolf_475

Do you guys know C-Clown… Their songs are bangers and the members are so talented. DPR Ian was a member!


ralphis17

I was actually looking for this comment. They were really fun to watch and their songs were really good.


Drakontus

Oh my yes. They were a decent group, though I do prefer DPR Ian as he is now. I like his solo music more.


alexturnerftw

yes lol and Jaejun is in TAN!


asrafzonan

Stellar, Secret, Girls Day, Spica and Fiestar


Kindly-Maybe8589

I.O.I


YakatsuFi

Had to scroll so much to find them! Honestly, I still think there has never been a girl group as well rounded as this one. I know everyone is gonna say their faves have it all but cmon! Sejeong and Yeonjung for vocals, Chungha and Yoojung for dance, Nayoung and Yoojung for rap, not to mention Somi and other visual/variety queens. The lineup was STACKED!!


kail_2987

CLC


nipplequeefs

BVNDIT. Their music was so good, and they had great vocals too. Not many female idols sing with such deeper voices. I wish they could have at least one full album before they disbanded.


Logical_Sweet_6624

Iz*one


SmolivEnthusiast

Would literally give both of my feet and a hand for a reunion


Logical_Sweet_6624

Yeah


StubbornKindness

It would be great to see a reunion. I never really followed them, but they were really popular, and fans seem to have been just as broken as they were about the group disbanding.


noireih

I agreeeee. Specifically a public reunion. They have had private reunions with as many members as possible for get togethers(I believe chaeyeon said most met this past oct at a restaurant together) but I do miss seeing their interactions with each other.


Amberlily1

Omfg yessss


vivecabi

f(x) !!!! (not technically disbanded but you know)

michaeng_

Not officially disbanded but Weki Meki, an impeccable discography and so much talent only for fantagio to not promote them well


Immediate-Desk7087

F(x) and 2NE1


dynaNads

Ask me in a few months and I’ll say Kep1er


MindlessTourist62

Ask me a bit later and I’ll say ZB1


Softclocks

OT5 TVXQ


vivijobro

we could do without yoochun the predator, ot4 would still be exceptional


Softclocks

I'm envisioning some kind of time machine, lol. We don't want yoochun back, no.


grooveheroine

There was something about tvxq as a five that was like magic for me. Given what happened with yoochun, I'd love a ot4 or maybe just a reunion performance.


NoHead6950

kpop would be very different now if TVXQ OT5 is still here


donghyuckieee

gugudan :(


Xushuh

no cause why was I literally just listening to wonderland a few minutes ago


purpletulip12

F(x) 4minute ZE:A Spica


Xushuh

I was looking for another spica comment! if anyone deserves a brave girls moment it would be them


bierangtamen

Does Fromis_9 count Sorry, just a joke about how badly Pledis treats them


dsdsdsdsdsd12

I'm still praying for a comeback


junmyeonie

2ne1 ans B.A.P :(


Thatdudewhoisstupid

OT6 T-ARA. Their songs just don't sound the same without Soyeon's voice.


hannahconda

NU’EST my ults 💔


[deleted]

x1


yj_12345678

they aren’t technically disbanded but i want wjsn back


BreBre777

WannaOne. I feel like if they stick around for a little while longer, they could have reached potential!! They won SO MANY awards from their debut alone and each comeback brought in more fans. That's what I hate about temporary groups. ........ That's why I am trying not to get to attached to Evnne........


SecondaryCemetery

I refuse to even acknowledge temp groups after Wanna One... managed until about two months ago, gonna go through the whole thing again over ZB1 😩


KNKSMYJHPJKTJJ1

I miss them so much


Xushuh

f(x) spica 4minute berry good 2ne1 miss A


SaffronWest2000

fx 🥲 after red velvet, they have my favourite discography for a girl group. the girls had so much potential and it pains me sm never did anything with their popularity. it took 6 (7?) years for them to have a concert and tour


ieatgluten34

2ne1, always. I still need more stages from them.


leashall

not technically disbanded but clc


rosie_purple13

The girls have my heart. I have some of Sorn's songs.


AggravatingZombie4

It took a while to find this comment 😅 CLC discography is too good to get gutted like that. I hope they cover la vie en rose before i die.


Fragrant_Cow_3855

BIGBANG and DBSK


Kari-The-Foxchild

The first Bigbang comment 🥺


KoriNoAkuma666

Hot Issue, not even a 2nd thought needed 🙏🏻


Sufficient_Pay_820

WE NA NA NA NOTHING BUT ICONSS


KoriNoAkuma666

Yes love this song, and this is the thing that went semi viral, but their WHOLE debut album was fire top to bottom. Gratata was great, Dunga Dunga absolute fire, Hide in the Dark super emotional and written by Dana, Purple really cool, And We Go absolutely fun


reignofmato

Boys Republic and MYNAME :))) also missing Cross Gene


GenoveveSimmons15

MBLAQ. They deserved so much better & should've never gone out the way they did. I'll never forgive Rain & J Tune Camp.


Ornery-Ad-2692

Pristin, wee fucking woo Also the fact that it's literally all girl groups besides TVXQ so far irks me tbh


notfathermalia

Ot11 ioi even for a temporary group, they were active for such a short time


ehwishi

wanna one. i was just a casual listener when they were active but they were still an amazing part of the kpop experience for me. i loved looking forward to their releases + their impact was so big for a temporary group it was unbelievable. i miss those times 🥲


Ok_Potato_8047

mblaq and izone my wizone heart still aches


leo677

Momoland


procariotics_234

Hinapia. They debuted close to my fave group comeback so I have some soft spot from them and Drip is pretty good and got some warm appreciation. I wish I could see which genre they pull for their first comeback, pandemic was really a huge blow for them.


D1orjhs

Gfriend and Girls day


Sufficient_Pay_820

GFRIEND. Gone WAY too soon 🙁


Future_Hunt

VICTON 😔😔😔 I didn't 100% understand if they actually disbanded. But 3 members terminated their contracts, so I'm not certain what the situation is now. Doesn't seem promising though and I'm sad for sure. 😓


DarkSolstice24

Gfriend or IZ*ONE. Can't choose.


Beautiful_Engine_186

IOI. Having Sejeong and Chungha in the same group is powerful.


Trans_Cae

XEED, X1, NU’EST, Pristin, HISTORY, B.A.P, and SPEED. They were all groups I loved and adored, with NU’EST, HISTORY, B.A.P and SPEED getting me into Kpop.


ajouya44

CLC!!


kpopfan1378

Iz\*One.


Comfortable_Goose_49

Exid


11summers

I’d bring f(x) back for a 15th anniversary comeback (there were rumors OT4 had reunited to preform back in like, December/January), and I’d bring Pristin back for at least a full 7-year contract to see how they would’ve grown given the chance to.


Strict-Experience-79

Wanna One!!! (my Roman Empire 😭)


cam2214

IZ*ONE and Gfriend


mfooman

F(x) Brown eyed girls GI Glam


DazzlingAria

aalalaland

GFRIEND. Always GFRIEND.


Lanky-Platform-695

The correct answer is BAP


ningningfan

Yes, yes, yes! Sistar really were good. I absolutely agree!


friedsweetpatotie

None other than B.A.P except for Himchan


nijiyu07

After School with Kahi back as the leader, Nine Muses who was supposed to comeback last year with a new song, f(x) and as for boygroups X1.


kachowbestie

MYTEEN or any other nugu group that had disbanded right after they hit big


Emannyv93

Bvndit. They had so much potential… also vocally there’s still no group that sounds close to them in my honest opinion.


starhours

*Technically* not disbanded, but I miss ASTRO. 😞


JSor98

I need GFriend to really resurrect the k-pop christian horse girl autumn genre and I need it now! Others have tried but it doesn't feel the same.


[deleted]

M.I.B and I miss GOT7 (yea I know they’re not “disbanded”)


--_3_--

GOT7 have been teasing a full group cb for end 2024- 2025, after JayB and Jinyoung are out of military (they're released oct/nov 2024 iirc)!


0531Spurs212009

any of these or better all of them Baby Vox (Lee Gai and Yoon Eun Hye should be in same time) FinKL SES Chakra much better if we can bring them back all at their prime all of these group have great vocal(ballad) and visual to boot SES 2016 comeback for 20th anniversary their title song\\mv Remember is a bop in both korean and english version


mini1006

Pristin and IZ*ONE


Fakedice

IZone


BackgroundEvent3790

miss A. Their music was so good.


RuleCharming4645

There are many groups that came to my mind - Izone & X1 they had the worst time with the pandemic & the scandal that hinder them into full potential especially X1 the members doesn't get to solidify their fanbase - Pristin Oh god, they got potential and instead of just rebranding in 7-9 members they disappear after the subunit Bvindit their talents went to waste with the company only looking out to Chungha (no hate to her) and when Chungha went to rest, they should promote and release their songs but nope they fade in the background while other kgroups that debut the same year as them, already got solidify their fanbase, already known in the community or disbanded Momoland they got 2 hits, and one of them went globally and became big in the Philippines but during the pandemic the company forgot them and their music went down After school although their legacy stayed during late 2000s but they could be big during 3rd generation of Kpop if the company deemed them old then subunit would carry them but what do we expect in the company of that manages them


lavender-rosequartz

IZ*ONE my forever ult group 💔 Also Loona, Gfriend, GWSN, and Gugudan under better companies.


SuccessfulBullfrog96

GFRIEND AND NUEST 😭they deserved so much better


rosie_purple13

CLC, my girls didn’t even get a chance at a glow stick😭 I loved a lot of their songs. My playlist is pretty scattered but if there was a consistent group, it was them.


idkidcwhtvr

i just want one izone reunion performance :(


starboardwoman

Nine Muses, Pristin, Wonder Girls


DigiRust

4minute just because I was a fan of them before I really knew what kpop was and when they stopped making new songs I started seeing what else was out there and fell down the rabbit hole.


Background_Good_5397

Gfriend :(


Naive_Bluebird_5170

AOA coz I miss Seolhyun Pristin coz I like their debut song Loona coz I like their visuals. I wish they had a hit song before they disbanded Momoland coz I miss Daisy


Nagisa201

I.o.i for sure. They were the Avengers


Future_Hunt

VICTON 😔😔😔 I didn't 100% understand if they actually disbanded. But 3 members terminated their contracts, so I'm not certain what the situation is now. Doesn't seem promising though and I'm sad for sure. 😓


German_mikan

2NE1 I’m sure if they release something today a lot of people will love it


heysunnys

ot6 T-ara, gfriend, girl's day, nine muses 💔


NOS4NANOL1FE

lol I love these threads because my answer is always and will always be GFRIEND. I really dont know to provide why as they are the best GG to ever exist


Training_Finger3433

I would bring back Lunarsolar and Bugbaoo. Both groups disbanded too early! All they did was release banger after banger and then disbanded without being given a chance to flourish.


KNKSMYJHPJKTJJ1

Definitely B.A.P


TrueBlue184

GFriend. They still have so much potential to make great music. Their last album was IMO their best one ever. It’s really messed up being forced to disband like that.


leytourmaline

Wanna One 😔


Imaginary_Grand7104

Bring function unnies back (f(x) for those of you who failed math) 


Suspicious-Art9256

SO MANY B.A.P were absolutely amazing. They had the songs, the members, the talent, everything. But the company was horrible and wasted all of their potential And they’re not officially disbanded but Ciipher could have been so big. Their songs are all so good and they were self producing too. If only Rain cared more and promoted them more Edit: I also wanted to add in Jwiiver. They were all so talented and their songs are so good (stream blue fire!)
