Top 10 Fastest Korean Groups to Disband
K-pop, South Korea's entertainment world is considered one of the most competitive industries in the world. Every year, countless K-pop groups are born, bringing with them the hope of success and fame, but not all groups are lucky enough to survive for a long time. There are even bands that have only been active for a year and have disbanded. The reasons for this are colorful. There are groups that accept disbandment because members want to go their own way. Some groups even disbanded right after not debuting for long because the company was struggling, no longer able to invest in them while the idols could not turn on. Today, let's take a look at the 10 fastest disbanding groups of Kpop.
1
X1
Duration: 5 months (from 8/2019 to 1/2020) X1 is the winner of the survival show Produce X 101, which debuted in August 2019. Unlike senior groups, the contracts of 11 boys were fixed for up to 5 years, but they had not gone 1/12 of the way, they had to disintegrate in anger despite being dubbed the "dinosaur rookie" of Kpop. The reason for X1's disbandment was related to the cheating scandal of the show Produce 101. Evidence suggests that X1's squad was manipulated, which led to the group being "frozen" after only operating for a few months and subject to police investigation. In January 2020, X1 officially disbanded because each member's company could not find a common voice in the future of the group.

JBJ
Duration: 6 months (from 10/2017 to 4/2018) After Produce 101 season 2 ended, fans loved the friendship of 6 members Taehyun, Kenta, Sanggyun, Longguo, Donghan and Hyunbin, so they called on the management agencies to include them in a project group even though the boys were not in the top 11 who debuted in want to One. The fans' request was met with the birth of JBJ in October 2017. With a relatively strong fandom, JBJ was not inferior to want to One when album sales exceeded 100,000 copies and won the trophy on the music show with the song "My Flower". Unfortunately, JBJ's contract period only lasts until April 2018.
3
UNI. T
Operating period: 6 months (from 5/2018 to 10/2018) UNI. T is a project group formed after the survival show The Unit in May 2018. However, they were not as lucky as I.O.I because the show did not resonate as expected, hence UNI. T has low coverage with the public. As a result, they disbanded in October 2018 without achieving any achievements despite having to fight hard with countless opponents to win the right to debut.
4
UNB
Operating period: 6 months (from 5/2018 to 10/2018) Like UNI. T, UNB is the boy band that came out of The Unit – the survival show that saves idols who "missed out". The contract of the 2 groups lasts 6 months and they are expected to achieve many strong achievements such as I.O.I and want to One. Unfortunately, this did not come true because The Unit did not resonate as expected, hence the pitch of UNB and UNI. T is considered a "flop". After 6 months of obscure activity, this band also disbanded.
5
I.O.I
Duration: 7 months (from 8/2016 to 1/2017) I.O.I is a group formed after the survival show Produce 101 season one (2016). Thanks to the heat of the program, the 11 members have high coverage and achieved many great achievements. But because they are a project group, the members only have 7 months together. The group officially disbanded at the end of January 2017 to the regret of the public. Although I.O.I had planned to reunite at the end of 2019, due to the Produce 101 vote fraud scandal, the project was postponed indefinitely.
