It hasn’t been a full week into the new year yet, but the first idol group disbandment of 2017 has already occurred.

While 2016 was plagued with group disbandments and withdrawals, fans wished for a more stable year for idol groups in 2017. But in just a few days after the start of the year, yet another idol group has announced their disbandment. On the January 4th, male group M.I.B‘s agency Signal Entertainment announced:

"Last year, 3 of the members’ contracts have expired and they have chosen not to resign. Their musical tendencies are all so different that it was decided to be the best course of action for them to follow their own paths."

The members who have left the agency were revealed to be Young Cream, Zick Jasper, and Sims. While the their contracts had expired in October, the sole remaining member Kangnam will still be with the agency until his contract expires in March.

When asked about his status with the agency, representatives from Signal Entertainment simply responded, “It is too early to talk about it.”

Feels like MIB has been dead for years... how are the others even making a living? idgi

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

I'll miss them :(

naw this is quite sad news i liked them a lot, especially Zic + most of their title songs are bops
but it was a given considering they've been mia for quite some time except for Kangnam on variety shows

I still remember that when I cb to follow kpop in 2013 after some break their Dash (Man in black) was one of my favourite songs, actually I cleansed myself with it after hearing Wolf for the first time in my life lol

It was to be expected. Maybe some or all of them can sign with Tiger's label?

It sucks that they had to disband because they had such bops and if the management actually had lifted a finger, they would have been a lot more popular.

Maybe this is why they auditioned for SMTM again last year?

I waited for their comeback after Kangnam got popular, but I knew they were dead when that didn't happen. I do have some bitterness towards Kangnam being the one who made it. Cream strikes me as a junkie, but 5Zic and Sims are the talented ones imo. I hope they find a good new home and don't disappear.

I thought they already did.
bad fan
well it was fun, I still have their individual vids on my ipod. Good times.
Sims+YCream were my faves.
Remember when they started 5zic had a stache.. yeah that went away fast (look like smooth little boy) just like G.O.

yessss, and that song was so dang great where he sported it, lmfaoo. honestly he looks better without it tho (unlike GO. xD)

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

aw. oh well. They had some good jams.

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

this song is such a jam

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

ugh I saw this coming soon nice last year but still :''''(

I feel like maybe if kangnam hadn't burned himself out on variety so soon then maybe they could have stood a chance? Sigh

[megustaelmoney.livejournal.com]

there were four of them???

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

well when the xenophobe starting posting i knew it wa over, u since I'm Kangnam's fan hope he finds success

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Aww but tbh not surprised seeing as they barely released anything in a while.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

they really should have capitalized on kangnams variety success l

[bri-and-red.livejournal.com]

The released some of my fav kpop songs...Nod Along was everything though all of their title songs were super catchy
I'm surprised they didn't take off when Kangnam started appearing everywhere on variety

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

:( I saw them perform in person and enjoyed their songs casually even if I wasn't a big fan.

Girls, Drinks, Money!! My jam ):

[hyunbiased.livejournal.com]

One of my fave groups musically :(

As a group they've been MIA but Kangnam's been doing his varieties and SIMS and Zic have released some songs not too long ago, hopefully they will continue making music
