1. [+456, -12] I knew this group through Nara

2. [+358, -10] They lasted for a long time for seven years..

3. [+246, -10] Don't know who they are except for Kwon Nara..

4. [+14, -4] They had a lot of good songs.. but went downhill after Yoo Ara left

5. [+13, -2] A seven year contract is pretty much the entire life span of an idol group. Seems most groups disband and part ways at that point. Sad to see them go... they had the support of a lot of male fans.

6. [+11, -2] Nara should go into acting~

7. [+10, -0] It's better for Nara to go off alone

8. [+8, -0] Seems like it's difficult for most girl groups to survive after the five or six year point. Most transition into acting or are basically kicked out of the industry.

9. [+8, -3] Seeing the rest for the first time in my life other than Nara

10. [+7, -2] What are they without Nara..

11. [+6, -2] I'll explain it for you guys. Members like Nara who are petite and under 170 cm tall do well in our country. There aren't a lot of fans for tall women, even lesbians or otakus don't prefer that type. As long as you have visuals, you'll survive even if you can't sing.

12. [+4, -1] Tall, western looking idols like them don't do well in Korea. For example, Nine Muses, Hello Venus, Stellar, etc, they all flopped. In order to be successful as a Korean girl group, you need to be short, cute, and petite. The tall, sexy looking ones like them usually don't do well. And Nara is mostly an actor face than an idol face.
