While it is not uncommon for groups to experience a loss of members, the terms that these members leave on are not always good.

Recently, a post discussing LE SSERAFIM‘s alleged past shading of Garam gained attention, prompting others to share their own memories of similar instances.

Here are some of the instances mentioned by fans of groups in the quotes.

1. Stray Kids

One of the most mentioned groups on the post was Stray Kids. Stray Kids debuted as a nine-membered group, which changed to eight in 2019 after ex-member Woojin‘s depature.

The terms of the departure were rumored to be bad, and certain actions taken after pointed to that for fans. These include a post made by Felix including the hashtag #8 around the time Woojin’s scandal broke, and the re-recording of music as eight instead of simply redistributing parts.

2. ONEUS

ONEUS originally debuted as a six membered group, until member Ravn departed following a cheating and gaslighting scandal.

Since then, the group has release re-recordings of their title tracks as five, along with mentioning a dislike of the number 6 and covering his face on a poster.

3. TVXQ

TVXQ became the duo known today after three members, Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoonchun, departed from the group amid contract disputes with SM Entertainment.

The track that TVXQ returned with after their activities were suspended was titled “Keep Your Head Down,” which was interpreted to be a hit at the three departed members. The track’s lyrics spoke of the end of a relationship and the bitter feelings that remained afterwards.

4. TREASURE

TREASURE initially debuted as a twelve member group in 2019, but are now 10 membered following Mashiho and Bang Yedam‘s departures in 2022.

A month after the two idols’ hiatuses were initially announced, member Doyoung shared a post of himself pointing in front of a sign that said “OUT.”

While there are many other instances that may come to mind, these were several that stood out on the post.
