Losing a member of your favorite K-Pop group is hard, whether it’s by their own choice or they get caught up in a scandal that pretty much forces their removal. It’s even harder when they leave suddenly and/or in the middle of the group gaining momentum in their popularity, especially if they had an important role in the group such as leadership or production. Recently, a thread was made on Reddit for fans to share which groups they think might have ended up being more successful had they not lost one or more members, and while most of the groups mentioned did still go on to have great careers, it’s hard not to think about what might have been.
