A popular, disbanded third-gen K-pop boy group is currently being recalled and discussed by stans in an online community.
Here's what people are saying.
A separate thread was also made online, with netizens agreeing with Korean fans that B.A.P definitely had their time when they were more successful than EXO.
However, they also expressed their sadness over TS Entertainment's issues and the group's lawsuit due to unfair contract conditions, treatment, and profit distribution.
- "They actually did do better than EXO, in their debut, but after the TS problem started to rise and 'Growl' was there, so they got buried so bad."
- "Everyone in my middle school was all about B.A.P versus EXO lmao."
- "It's true though. They kind of had their moment when they were doing better than EXO."
- "TS Entertainment deserves to burn for real."
- "The lawsuit started after 'Growl.' When EXO started peaking, B.A.P was already touring. EXO Chinese members started leaving and the B.A.P lawsuit happened. It was a mess."
Others pondered if B.A.P would've been treated differently had they debuted and managed in one of the "Big 3" agencies.
- "I used to wonder what would've happened if they debuted in the Big 3 instead of a company that horribly treated them. That lawsuit lost all of their momentum."
- "I remember EXO being the big thing at the time, but I was drawn towards B.A.P's music and dance. They did amazing for what they were up against."
