Came to pay my respects to the 4Minute bot. RIP

Alright I lied. One real last post in this thread. The K-Pop GOAT. True legends. Such a goddamn shame T_T. I'll never stan a group like this ever again.
I was hyped for this but kind of let down tbh.

The saddest part about this it is that we get CLC instead. LMAO Cube.
RIP 4Minute 
Even if we wait for the official statement, it's the end.
I guess this was somehow predictable given last release results and slows loss of popularity. But probably some members just want to go to different paths and not be tied to a group anymore.
New generation is taking their place.
BEG, Rainbow and Sistar (and Secret) the last of 2006-2010 era concerning member changing/disbandment...
"4Minute released its first single, "Hot Issue", on June 15"
I remember their debut, the group concept was the "fierce" one, soon after 2NE1 had theirs (but not an imitation!). I just have to say liked more then 2NE1, Hyuna was also an important part

I'm wondering of groups the could fill that void left by 4 minute and probably 2NE1. I see Wassup as the closest concept wise, although they are a bit dead. Maybe Brave Girls could transition to that? Or the new YG girl group?
Speaking of, any idea what they are going after? Some old reports were claiming that they would be YG's SNSD, but I feel like the group must have gone through the drawing board several times since that.
Anyway, on the other, kind of positive news, I can't wait for Gayoon solo career (I could also take 2Yoon as a permanent group).

Indeed, so much potential, can't believe Happy Face has them in the dungeon.

Shame to see 4minute disband. I was so into them when they debuted. That trashy 'candy funky' styling, Jiyoon always in sunglasses. It just worked. Hot Issue and Muzik are such jams. Also gotta give it up for HuH and that flawless mini-album. After that it's been hit or miss, but when it was a hit it was damn good.

Unbanned only to hear 4Minute is done
Cube is trash. Thank goodness APink is no longer associated with them.
Also I wish CLC would throw their dubs up in the beginning of their new single when they are doing the c-walking type dance move.

Hey guys! New here -- but who else is missing some After School?
I mean, Bang!, Shampoo, First Love.. show some love! I don't even know if they're still all together since all the OGs graduated.
edit ps.
bye 4minute. Although let's be real that Hyuna was the only relevant one.

Can't agree with that. I'll admit that as much as I love them, Sohyun and Jihyun are fairly weak performers, but Gayoon and Jiyoon are very strong performers in different ways.

Hasn't it been over a year since their Dal Shabet leftovers comeback? Happy Face must be running out of money.
Seems like it'll only be a 4 or 5 member group again. YGs too busy making solo artists he'll promote once every 5 years.
I'm upset and sad. Not surprised about it though since Jihyun mentioned that if their CB flopped that they would leave Cube but still...Ugh. I hope that Hyuna's solo does well and that the other members succeed in whatever they plan on doing.
RIP 4M; you were one of my favorite ggs ;___;

Hearing the 4M news reminds me of the 2012 SBS Concert in LA I attended and how iconic it is in retrospect. Out of the groups that performed that evening, only SISTAR and CNBlue remain the same.
SNSD: Jessicaleft fired
2NE1: Minzy Left
B2ST: Hyunseung left
KARA: disbanded
4 Minute: disbanded
Cube is DSP-tier when it comes to promoting their artists. Wouldn't surprise if BEAST bails out also.

This is sooo not their concept. What are you doing MBK?

This sound has been overdone lately (and much better than in here).

This choreo is cool

These girls are winning me over.

Found really interesting that this clip has nothing to do with the MV (except from the colour palette)

Seems like their budget is getting thinner by every release.

I do, hopefully Pledis decides to do something with them soonn, or ,at least push hard for Pledis GirlsHey guys! New here -- but who else is missing some After School?

Wow. Dia chasing after that Gfriend concept even harder than I was expecting.
As far as the song goes, it's actually not too bad. I mean, it may be pretty generic but I still prefer it to both Glass Bead and Rough. It's no Me Gustas Tu though.
Grats Chewie, out of all the idols turning 17 this week, you're my second favorite!

Dia is pretty good. But it's obviously so unoriginal, it's not going to help them stand out at all. The group is very strongly visually though, I wanna root for them but not like this. MBK makes such weird decisions.

So adorable. Happy birthday, Tzuyu.

More awful group news. At least with Kara it was clear that things would likely come to an end soon, rather than later. People were dismissing the potential warnings 4Minute members relayed ahead of their last comeback as merely a media play.
f(x) have also done this well, though you could argue 4Minute were more varied and successful at it.
Unlike SNSD and T-ara, 4Minute continued to release songs which were mostly interesting and mostly good.
Yup. How many acts experimented as much as 4Minute have while doing so successfully more often than not? Importantly, it all managed to sound like 4Minute, as opposed to other experimental groups who often seemed to lack a clear sound or group vision.

At this point, Rainbow is largely a re-animated corpse which currently releases 1-2 okay songs every few years, at best. Secret is essentially dead, and even Rainbow have more recently released a good song than Sistar have.
Oddly enough this is the first member change or breakup news that the upcoming class of groups came to mind.
