Article that talks about how there are more and more news of members leaving girl groups, so much so that it's become common now. Speculates that it's because of the influx of girl group debuts since they made a hit in 2010.

1. [+232, -40] So I guess SNSD is the only group to maintain their position at the time without any member changes for six years

2. [+207, -33] SNSD really is the only girl group without any big scandals, member changes, or member withdrawals...

3. [+164, -2] I really expected a lot from miss A during their 'Bad Girl Good Girl' days because they gained so much popularity, had a unique concept, and a catchy track... But every song after their debut has been weird, Suzy is always promoting in dramas, they barely promote as singers... What a disappointment.

4. [+157, -16] SNSD... Even managed to get Hyoyeon some public popularity

5. [+114, -15] It all comes down to the group's overall talent, not the members' individual talent. SNSD for example prepared and trained for a long time in various areas like singing, dancing, and acting... But if you take a look at the girl groups that disappear, they were trained for short periods of time to debut quickly into the market so their bucket of talent is only so full before they hit bottom. Training as a group for a long time fosters teamwork and loyalty, something that groups put together through rapid fire auditions will never have.

6. [+126, -28] Super Junior screwed everything up. None of them have talent and debuted through money with so many members. I bet kids saw all of the talentless members being carried and thought they could do it too. It's because of them that there are so many groups with so many members.

7. [+120, -25] Just copy Sunye and marry yourself off while you're at your prime age... It's the only way to make a profit at this rate.

8. [+71, -1] The amount of quality time you spend with your members really helps, I think. You can't really trust a group that is constantly changing members. They never last long.

9. [+62, -5] It's because everyone thinks that they'll become the next Soshi as long as they debut in a girl group but they end up being nobodies so they leave

10. [+57, -7] Girl groups are different because they have a hard time maintaining a loyal fandom so their life span is really short, which is why the members either leave or disband. SNSD has a fandom as strong as most male idol groups so they're an exception to the case.

11. [+69, -19] I think the notion of being a girl group is basically one of the steps to becoming an actress. 10 out of the 10 girl group members you ask will say that they want to try acting in the future... Promoting as a girl group gives you public recognition, making it easier to earn roles, which is why so many members go into acting after gaining popularity. Girl groups have just become 'project groups', a temporary gig to help you reach your final goal of becoming an actress.
