It’s always heartbreaking to have to deal with a group’s disbandment. No matter how long ago a group may have disbanded, there will always be fans lamenting and hoping for their return, often sharing these sentiments on social media platforms. In no particular order, here is a list of the top 10 groups that have officially disbanded which fans on social media desperately want to see make a comeback.

1. Myteen

Myteen debuted in 2017, but unfortunately only had the chance to have one comeback before disbanding. Two of the members, Kookheon and Yuvin, were participants in Produce X 101.

The group disbanded in 2019, only two years after their debut, but many dedicated fans mentioned them as a group they’d like to see reunite.

2. PRISTIN

PRISTIN debuted in 2017 under Pledis Entertainment and disbanded in 2019, after only 3 of the 10 members renewed their contracts with the company.

To this day, fans feel like their disbandment was unfair and their decline in popularity was due to their company’s poor management.

3. Boyfriend

Boyfriend were Starship Entertainment‘s first boy-group, formed in 2011. They were also the first K-Pop group to have identical twins as members!

Unfortunately, Boyfriend’s popularity declined after their company chose to focus on promoting them in Japan, and they disbanded in 2019.

4. I.O.I

I.O.I were formed after the first season of Produce 101 in 2016, and disbanded when their contract expired in late January 2017. Most of the members have since re-debuted in new groups, such as Weki Meki and Cosmic Girls, or as solo artists, such as Somi and Chung Ha.

I.O.I were supposed to have a reunion in late 2019, which was then cancelled following Mnet‘s vote manipulation scandal.

5. B.A.P

B.A.P’s debut in 2012 was considered “one of [the] year’s most anticipated debuts” by MTV Korea, which also praised them for being versatile and having potential to live up to very high standards. Unfortunately, their company, TS Entertainment, have been blamed for not taking care of them properly and causing the group’s downfall.

Members Yongguk and Zelo left the group after the expiration of their contracts in 2018, and the remaining four left in 2019.

6. SISTAR

The “queens of summer” SISTAR were formed in 2010 as Starship Entertainment’s first K-Pop group. They were known for their fun summer songs, and to this day are one of the five Korean artists to ever have over 9 number one singles on the Gaon Digital Chart.
