[TW] In 2013, the girl group Ladies' Code was launched by Polaris Entertainment. Upon debut, the five-member group continuously climbed to major music sites. However, in 2014, the female idols met an unfortunate car accident that lead to the death of their two co-members. Fast forward to 2021, where are the remaining Ladies' Code members now?
Ladies' Code debuted in 2013 with their mini-album, "Code #1," and its title track, "Bad Girl," under Polaris Entertainment. The quintet had proper support from K-pop enthusiasts, with their track having decent rankings in major music charts.
The girl group's follow-up single, "Hate You," and second-mini album, "Code #2 Pretty Pretty," also became hit, achieving No. 1 in Bugs Music and entered Top 10 on other music charts.
On September 1, 2014, member Ashley then announced that Ladies' Code will release another album, but two days after, the whole group who was traveling to Seoul after a schedule met a fatal car accident – losing two of their co-members EunB and RiSe.
Ladies' Code's manager Park was indicted on the charge of causing a deadly collision after speed driving.
In April 2015, the members resumed activities and held various memorial and tribute schedules for former EunB and RiSe. Their last activity would be the release of their fourth album, "Code #3 Set Me Free," in 2019 until they went into an indefinite hiatus in 2020 after leaving Polaris Entertainment.
