soyundorito 828 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 So i'm bored lol do you guys know any popular "curses" or "conspiracy theories" in the kpop world? I only know 2 curses lol 1.- the big 3 curse : the one when a company is said to be one of the new big 3 and then said company gets caught in something and fail 2.- the produce 1st seat in episode 1 : none of the trainees that had seated in 1st place during the first episode has made it into the debuting group Any other to add to the list?

Most groups get 5-7 years contract so when it ends the "curse" hits lol most go separate ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's referred to as a curse more because of the fact that it's so common for groups to dissolve after 7 years, not because of the duration they've stayed a group.

Also the fact that all members of a group secretly wouldn't get along and don't exactly wanna be spending time 24/7 with each other anymore. It's a shit job to be in for 7 years.
