In this article, you can find out about idols who have debuted in their 7th year and whether they have disbanded or not! Let's check!
Song, Kpopmap EditorFor idols, '7 Year Curse' means a 'crisis' they face in the 7th year since their debut.
This is because, most of the time, they are at a crossroads in their career because their exclusive contract will expire with their agency. Therefore, it is a key date for the groups as they will decide if they will continue (and if together) or not.
In Korea, according to Article 3, Paragraph 2 of the "Standardized Agreement for Pop Culture Artists", artists can notify the cancellation of their contract if the contract exceeds 7 years.
Numerous idol groups came through difficulties during this period, generally following the steps of 'disbanding' or 'reducing the group'. Some group or member take this opportunity to leave the agency where they debuted but do not leave/disband the group.
In this article, you can find out about idols who reach their 7th year since debut and whether they have disbanded or not!
Let's check the list below.
*Note that not all the idols re-sign on their 7th year. Some groups of this list already re-signed.
