Anyone remembers all the Gfriend vs LOVELYZ fights on Onehallyu when they were rookies?

It was the time that I was the most invested in Kpop. I used to lurk on here and enjoy reading all that drama lol. Everyday, multiple threads would appear and other stans were sick lol. I lowkey miss it. It is the end of an era. Feels weird how those "top" rookies are both gone now

there's really not many 2015 and before girl groups left anymore  

If someone told us LABOUM would be one of few ggs surviving 7 year spell back then, everyone would perhaps laugh. Their last few months before contract ending really turned the tables for them.

Can you explain what happen to Laboum?

Their song Journey To Atlantis went viral after TV program Hang Out With Yoo covered it. It became a hit in spring and peaked on MelOn's top 10 and was in top 100 until few days ago. Honestly they could have made a better use of the attention to maybe get another hit like Brave Girls did, but their agency had gave up on them as it was the last months of their contract. After the contracts ended, one member parted her way and others signed with another agency. And they just released their new album some minutes ago .

Looks like they keep their name. Do you know if they can perform their old songs also?

I wonder why the old company is so nice. We always hear story about company being petty and make it hard for idol that leave.

They did perform their old songs in a concert a few days ago. I honestly am shocked at that too. The old agency didn't capture the right moment to get LABOUM to go back to music shows or variety shows and kept them in dungeon so the attention slowly faded until their contracts were over and they ended up being a one hit wonder. I am guessing they don't care about keeping LABOUM's brand because it didn't become too big or famous.
