2009 Debuts Where Are They Now Pt.1

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

They debuted early 2009 and release a few singles in 2009 and were inactive afterwards. Member Soo Ah debuted as a trot singer under the name Geum Dan Bi under a different company. She last released music in 2014 and was a honarary ambassador for the Blue Cross [medicial volunteer organization in Korea] in 2015.

Released a number of singles and collaboration singles from 2009 until 2012. In 2014 she debuted with Kiss&Cry who released two singles before the group went on hiatus after member Hae Na left the company.

Debuted under the same agency as Xing. Got into a scandal even before their debut for 'stealing' SNSD's pink heart for their label. Only ever released this single (couldn't find any MV for it). Apparently member Won Hee was filming a movie with a Xing member in 2010 but I couldn't find the movie so maybe it got scrapped. Another member Seo Jin danced with Kahi (After School) on Star King in 2010.

Promoted reguarly until thier last single 2013 'First Love', numerous member changes have occured along the way. Sub-unit Orange Caramel has been more active in recent years. Numerous OMONA members pray for their comeback although signs don't look good.

Taegoon blew up in 2009 but was stopped promoting by the end of the year. Although an official reason was never released most people assumed he was the person in a blind item about a singer detained on drugs charges in 2010.

Only released this single then the two members re-debuted with another member to form the trio ToA (Top of Asia) in 2010. ToA only seemed to have only promoted one single.

Only released two singles before disbanding. Member Rocky later debuted with 100% in 2012 under the name Rockhyun. The rapper Dong Min apparently went to the army after the band's disbandment.

Released a few singles in 2009 and 2010. At the end of 2010 she was a guest on Invincible Youth. Her last activity was releasing two singles in 2013.

Sung an OST for Boys over Flowers. Released another single later in 2009 and that's all I could find.

Couldn't find much about her.

He had a few songs in 2009 2010. He was originally an actor but his last project was in 2010~2011.

Couldn't find much.

Released one mini album before going onto debut with Beast later in the year.

Once again not much info.

I think everyone knows their story...

Apparently she originally debuted as a actress, that's all I could find.

Only ever released this song.



Started on 2009 this time.

Omg Taegoon

Ah remains one of my fav debut songs, and of course Fire

[scribblyness-x.livejournal.com]

IDK i got my hopes up after i saw after school's new years greeting card from all the current members even eternally absent eyoung (who called herself AS's eyoung ;a;)

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

classic mistake, having hope that is

[jeliza]

Is that Sori the same Kim Sori that is in CocoSori now?
Her last solo single, Dual Life, is still on my regular playlist.

[sks2k5.livejournal.com]

Kim Sori is the one who sings "Dual Life" but she's not the one in CocoSori (my basic search shoes that the girl's surname is Kang).

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

The girls from CocoSori are in the girlgroup Blady!

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

Kahi and Bekah... I miss old AS... :(((

[thomaswilmoore.livejournal.com]

I was gonna complain about the lack of 4Minute but it's already too painful as it is.

But what about Secret and MBLAQ? Are they still a thing?

And omg, I remember JQT as well, what happened to them?

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

This post just covers the earlier months in 2009.
I was originally planning on making one post but it began to take waaay to long. So this is just pt.1

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

JQT's management tried to do the American Debut thing. Never released an English song, a member left.
It's been years, so unless the remaining girls are training in America, they probably disbanded and are back home.
JQT - Peekaboo was catchy :(

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

AH! is such an amazing debut song :( And this lineup.. :( nobody is innit anymore :(

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

Dudeeee Taegoon... 'Call Me' was so good then he just disappeared after that suspected drug scandal. He seemed to be getting some good variety gigs too. Jumper and Honey Boys' songs were def on my mp3 player too.

I remember Brand New Day's song reminded me of SS501's 'A Song Calling For You' and 'UR Man'

[juhli.livejournal.com]

He still is probably better off than 80% of the idols, isn't he a 2nd gen chaebol?

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

I figured his chaebol background was how he had access to the drugs. It's funny, I used to think that he was gonna be the next SE7EN and in a way he was (albeit w/ less jams) lmao

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I remember stanning Chung Lim just for his super deep voice. 💛

[ddeadmeat.livejournal.com]

taegooooon call me and betrayed remains in my top 10 #bringmyoppaback2k17

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

omfg taegoon! he like legit fell off the face of the earth.

[mountainsea.livejournal.com]

never heard of that 2ne1 group before, did they disband right after debuting?

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

One of their members was featured on a Big Bang track but was uncreddited at first iirc

[strangerstheme.livejournal.com]

omg real lips!! I remember finding that song in youtube and wondering what languaje it was. when i discovered it was korean I searched on google for korean music and found a article about 2ne1's debut.. and well, the rest is history lol
this is making me so nostalgic

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i remember stanning tf out of bekah until pledis forced her out bc she was too thick and talented >_>

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

#Pray4OC

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i lived for sori omg

[juhli.livejournal.com]

How unfortunate that DIA is pretty much unsearchable after the group DIA debuted.

This song would have blown up if used as an OST.

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

First time listening to this. I love it

[krunkri.livejournal.com]

i rmmr her posting about how it was hard sharing a name with other groups lmao. she deserves more!

[hyunbiased.livejournal.com]

She's totally searchable in Korean but not in English grr because she's 디아 Dee-Ah and the group is 다이아 Dah-ee-ah

[juhli.livejournal.com]

haha, you've been helping me a lot with Dia, thanks 😁

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

;_;

[lulufairybubble.livejournal.com]

AS was the first group that I had to step away from after members 'graduated'. I still liked some of their later songs and I love OC and Nana but it just wasnt ever the same for me after Kahi and Bekah left. They were my boos.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I came in here to leave a negative comment about Kikwang, but I'm gonna be positive, so

Hyuna had a small part in one of the songs on AJ's debut mini and her part was cute.

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

aww... I miss Bekah :(
Wow Sori, almost forgot about her. She got a bad injury somewhere that affected her dancing.
Dia? Is this the same Dia who features in Mighty Mouth's songs?

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

i've heard rumors about taegoon having a comeback but there's nothing to show for it yet.

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

After School - I remember learning the dance to AH!. I think I could still remember some of it. So good!

Sori - I had that song on repeat forever.

Again - I tried so hard to find more music by him. I love 603 and the music video and the whole sound he had. So sad there isn't more info on him and what happened.

AJ/Kikwang - Ah...Look. I almost forgot about Baby Hyuna in that MV.

I actually like this song
