The 7th year is a moment that often haunts K-Pop fans around the world. This is because there are contract negotiation issues with their agencies for idol groups. Usually, these idol contracts only last for seven years, after which they are free to renew or cancel the contract. This moment is called the '7-year curse' that has happened to several idol groups for various reasons. This time, there are several 3rd generation K-Pop girl groups who chose to disband, but it is also very regrettable for their fans. Check out the information below!

K-Pop
Despite the news of GFRIEND's disbandment, it turns out there is one news that caught the attention of netizens. It came from Sin, who stated that she wants to create dance content, but the agency does not allow her.
Not only SinB, Yerin also stated on a radio show that she wants to create a personal Youtube account, but the agency does not allow her.
Even the GFRIEND members do not have solo albums, so this happened because they are not allowed to have individual activities by the agency. Many netizens also believe that the agency restricts the members too much, leading to their separation.
Then there is GFRIEND, who debuted on January 15, 2015, this multi-talented girl group had to end their contract on May 22, 2021. The disbandment of GFRIEND is deeply regretted by fans, as they have become a top girl group.
Gugudan started their debut on June 28, 2016, and officially disbanded on December 30, 2020. The group initially gained public attention because there were two former IOI members, Sejeong and Mina.
Gradually, Gugudan began to gain popularity with their catchy songs. However, unfortunately, Jellyfish Entertainment announced that this girl group disbanded after four years of promotion.
The news of Gugudan's disbandment is very regrettable for netizens, especially fans, as they have been waiting for the group's comeback for two years.
Then there's Lovelyz, a girl group formed by Woolim Entertainment, which officially disbanded on November 1, 2021. Lovelyz debuted in November 2014 with the song 'Candy Jelly Love'.
After seven years of career, seven members of Lovelyz chose to leave the agency except for Baby Soul who renewed her contract.
The news of the disbandment attracted the attention of netizens, many people and fans expressed their regret over Lovelyz's breakup. They responded that Lovelyz did not receive enough attention from the agency and they rarely made comebacks like other idol groups.
This became a public spotlight and even the agency received harsh criticism from netizens. This is because Pristin often won awards as a rookie girl group since their official debut.
Lastly, there is Pristin who debuted on March 21, 2017, and decided to terminate their contract with Pledis Entertainment on May 24, 2019.
Harsh criticism continues to rain down on Pledis Entertainment because they did not clearly mention the disbandment of Pristin. The seven members agreed to terminate their contracts with the agency, except for Kyulkyung, Yehana, and Sungyeon who are still staying with Pledis Entertainment.
