Nothing is ever guaranteed in the K-Pop industry, so it's not a surprise that some groups end up not receiving the recognition they deserve. While several groups beat the odds and see success on music charts and sales, there are those who are not as lucky and end up having to disband. However, there are groups that despite being successful and having a good fanbase, end up disbanding because of their labels.
With that, here are five K-Pop groups that disbanded after being abandoned by their labels.
1. GFRIEND
Upon their debut under Pledis Entertainment in March 2017, the group immediately gained attention as most of its members were contestants of the survival program "Produce 101." Members Nayoung and Kyulkyung were part of the project girl group I.O.I, which was immensely popular. However, not long after in August 2017, the group suddenly halted activities.
But in 2018, Pledis Entertainment debuted the group's sub-unit PRISITIN V. However, the entire group ultimately disbanded in May 2019 after two years of no activities, with their last release being in August 2017.
