Article: The 'curse of 5 years' for idols is now in the past, idols look ahead to bigger success after 5 years

Article talking about how the '5 year curse/jinx' is being broken, as proven by SHINee who won a daesang six years into their career at the 2013 MMA. SNSD, Big Bang, and 2PM were also cited as examples of longterm success. 

1. [+270, -66] I don't agree with anyone on that list except Big Bang and SNSD. No one agreed with SHINee winning that daesang and people are actually putting the award show down calling it a household party... this is such blatant media play ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

2. [+241, -51] It was always SM's 5 year curse, it enver applied to any other artists

3. [+198, -52] The only current idol one tops are SNSD and Big Bang

4. [+35, -9] I think the only groups worth anything left now are SNSD and Big Bang... SHINee's barely hanging on under SM and 2PM's album release this year failed

5. [+31, -6] One tops are Big Bang and SNSD. I think they'll last the longest.

6. [+22, -7] Even now, 'Lies' is such an amazing song to go back and listen to... a hit song that will last a while.

I thought the curse was about breaking up...

SoshiBang, forever relevant 

[amber oppa]

They really do love their SoshiBang.

[mskpopfan]

SOSHIBANG

Out of all the pics of BB they choose that one?

 

and my feels... BIGBANG <3

[25%Cotton]

apparently the rules of the breakup curse are arbitrary and can be changed to apply however netizens want 

[Simmi]

whatever.

So that '5 year curse' doesn't include groups who had a member leaving the group? hmm

 

Well anyway, why do they keep on forgetting about Brown Eyed Girls? They have been around since 2006.

Just because they're not as popular as SNSD and Big Bang?

They're probably only referring to the groups that are able to maintain their popularity for 5+ years, eg BB, SNSD

[mochichan]

Did BB stole Shinee's Dream Girl clothes?

 

 

Anyway the curse just depend on some groups. 

 

 

Edit. Y'all can't take a joke

Sad.

B.E.G is so underrated.

don't be ridiculous. groups only count as part of the 5 year curse if the 5 year curse actually happens.

 

if they make it past 5 years, obviously they don't count. */rolls eyes at netizens*

Whether people agree with the article or not, you have to admit each group has worked their asses off and have grown since debut. I hope everyone continues to do well

Lol, Shinee released Dream Girl a month or so after that particular picture was taken, so it should be the other way around.

i'm pretty sure the BB pic is from last year and wasn't dream girl this year? i hope BB never wears anything like that again

[clsrn92]

I wish they'd actually look into why Shinee won instead of saying that they don't deserve it. 

They're assuming that Shinee won with the 'success' of Everybody, just because they're currently promoting it, and that's not even true. 

 

How can they forget that Shinee has been promoting a crap load of stuff this year? They've been everywhere!

What is "5 year curse" ?

[ApinkPandaOfApink]

i never believe there's 5 years curse for idol groups

 

i mean look at U-Kiss,they are still there despite lack of big success

 

Kara debuted in 2007,they are still doing fine

same as BEG

"2PM's album release this year failed" - physically it was their best selling album since debut. JYP didn't bother to promote them so it didn't do well digitally. At this point it's obvious that JYP's #1 priority when it comes to 2PM is Japan, sadly.

 

With 3 new groups debuting under JYPE, it's obvious that 2PM's fate won't change. That's why I'm hoping the December comeback happens.

 

I wonder why SUJU wasn't included in the article though.

[sejeong]

SoshiBang are one of the most loved idol groups currently.

And may alot of more years come for all the groups!!

"SHINee's barely hanging on under SM"

 

 

2013 is SHINee's most successful year in their entire career and it's their 6th but ok...
