Unfortunately, due to members' pursuing various paths and desire to make their own names, most of them have already disbanded or in an indefinite hiatus.

Luckily, these idols from those second-gen girl groups didn't stop their passion for music, and continue to create their "second heyday" as soloists, yet still bringing the nostalgic feelings from their respective teams.
