Kpop is doing well, but idol groups are disbanding one after another... Why?

because according to it..."Though it wasn't described as "disandment", it can be said that it's in fact a disbandment because it will be impossible to actively promote as GOT7 without JYP's permission or consent, which owns the trademark rights of "GOT7"

Once a group leave a company and/or separate it's a lot harder to promote together. We see it all the time.

 

"Even if the group structure stays intact, if several members leave the agency and start individual activities, the significance of the group will inevitably decrease."

 

I don't know if it's true yet, so we'll see on the 19th but apparently GOT7 can keep using the name. Also, I don't know if it's true but its rumors it might be 3 members being apart of AOMG, but we'll see. 

Also, I don't think it will decrease for GOT7 because it's what fans wanted as well. It's a deep seated hated within the fandom for JYPE and it was more celebration than sadness for them leaving JYPE. Also, GOT7 has been active than they've ever been with fans since leaving JYPE. Just now Jaebeom has opened up a Twitter account, it's basically a members interacting with fans since the news.

 

It should more acceptable for a group to leave a company if they don't think they are getting the proper management they need. If the company didn't fix it the first time, who's to say they will honor their contract? Also, JYPE seems to have the worst track record when it comes to groups or solo's renewing.

Plus I think it's harder for GOT7 to start their own company now because its a lot of logistics to work out with Jackson with China and BamBam with Thailand. 

Also, please stop using the word disbandment for GOT7, it's even going against the members wishes and it's a bit disrespectful to them.

okay, I did not know that, mainly because I don't really belong to any huge fandoms. the concert merchandise thing too because I don't buy concert merchandise? thanks a lot for the information

Then we have a company like JYPE who didn't take advantage of this with GOT7 for an online concert that members and fans wanted and other acts got in JYPE, it's no wonder that they left.

Being able to use their name doesn't mean JYPE can't ask for "fair price" , every time they use the since JYP owns the trademark. Expensive af. And JYP have the right refuse certain activities. for example: "Apparently SM has refused to allow HOT to promote as HOT, so for their reunion concert, they couldn’t use HOT in anything."

H.O.T. Unable To Use Their Group Name And Logo For Concert Promotions

Fans always want the best even with past groups that have separated. Yet group activities inevitably decrease once members leave a company. Of course we shall see how things will work out with Got7. But...i'm keeping my expectations low (((

They already decreased within the company,  how much worse can it get?  They let them promote 2 weeks with Not by the Moon and then 7 months of silence that the members even felt uneasy about. After seven months of silence, they then promote for 1 week. 

1 or 2 members were still willing to re-sign and JYPE turned it down because they wanted the whole group and as a group I wouldn't want to re-sign with JYPE either. They stifled their creativity,  they wouldn't let do things like have a YouTube channel, they wouldn't let them go on variety shows when they would get invites,  etc.. Things they asking for, they see other groups doing it within the same company, I wouldn't want to stay there or be in that environment.

Touring is part of activities too -- which was cut due to covid. Nonetheless, activities will probably decrease even more with time. Basically almost nothing annually as a group. 

Yea it makes sense JYPE would want the entire group.

No one here is denying JYPE had it problems. The point is things become a lot harder when members leave a company.

Again, we shall see tho. Anything is possible. Right now information is being presented base on the past.

Fans aren't expecting things like that either just them making music once a year is quite enough we're aren't expecting 2-3 comebacks with big lavish tours like before. 

BamBam can still hold his solo tours, if Jus2 are together on AOMG then they can continue together, etc... Members had solo things as well that did well and sold out. 

I'm not expecting more definite news until after the 20th when their contract fully ends on the 19th.

it not the same situation ...Highlight decided to stay together have created their own company minus Hyunseung same thing with shinhwa they've created their own company so technically it way more easy to make comebacks and concerts , personally i don't see got7 have comebacks at least not that many , there's also the issue with the name trademark 

 

Aren't Shinhwa also under different companies for solo activities and didn't it take them like 6 years to do group activities as well? Same as BEG?
