It’s been revealed that YG Entertainment‘s new girl group SuPearls have disbanded.
YG Entertainment stated, “We’ve decided to nullify the contracts of Lee Michelle, Lee Jung Mi, and Lee Seung Joo without any conditions“. Out of the girls who were supposed to debut under the highly anticipated girl group, only Lee Hi will be staying in the company to continue her solo career.
The label added, “Even though it’s disappointing, they decided that they should break up for the benefit of each other, so we have decided on this unavoidable decision.” Not only so, but YG Entertainment is currently busy with their upcoming girl group, as well as the comebacks for 2NE1, G-Dragon, and Kang Seung Yoon. Lee Hi will also release her solo album next month.

Date: 2013-02-18 05:55 pm (UTC)I definitely believe/agree with the person on akp who said that SuPearls was a back up plan group just in case Lee Hi flopped She's gonna flop like Gummy in the end because he can't manage any of his solo artists for shit.

Date: 2013-02-18 06:29 pm (UTC)YGE announced it would take quite a while before SuPearls would be able to debut w/ YGE, so instead of wasting more time, they'll let go. YGE, "Like our former ballad group, BIG MAMA, we wanted to make SuPearls the second version of them. But in order to do that it would take years of training before they'd able to debut. To lessen that burden, we decided to terminate their contracts." It was decided that it was too much for YGE to debut SuPearls with Kang Seungyoon's debut preparations along w/ the new boy & girl groups.
YGE, "(The termination) Has nothing to do with any problems within the members/company, nor were the girls' talents insufficient. In fact, no matter where the girls decide to go next, we are hoping to support them in any way possible to help them out."
No link to the article they translated that from though.

He really didn't see enough to at least keep one on board? Then again, if this is true, I don't think I'd want to be with a company that would do something like this either.
Something in the milk ain't clean.

Date: 2013-02-18 06:43 pm (UTC)Still kind of wished that YG would have debuted Lee Michelle as a solo star for international market. Oh well, maybe someone will sign her (though it's no way sure as she didn't get that good image among Korean public in kpop star).

Date: 2013-02-18 07:21 pm (UTC)I don't think K-pop or at least the big companies really suit these reality star artists, so few have been successful. (Yes I know Busker busker and Oh lala but they were groups before their shows) YG/SM/JYP like to take young people and train them for years to fit their mold but with singing show contestants, they really have to go from nobodies to stars in less than a year.
What I'm trying to say is, I doubt this will be the last mess to come out of the K-pop star signings.
