These Idol Groups Turn 7 Years Old Next Year… And Will Smash K-Pop’s Infamous “7 Year Curse”

If you’ve been around long enough, then you know this: In the world of K-Pop, that undeniable force called the “7 Year Curse” exists. Many of our beloved idol groups have fallen victim to this inexplicable spell — announcing their disbandments as their contracts expire in their 7th year together.

For these 6 groups, however, K-Pop fans believe the curse will stand no chance. While 2021 does mark the dreaded 7th year, these idols have come too far and have grown too close to say goodbye just yet. Will they smash the “7 Year Curse” for once and for all? Oh yes. Yes, they will.

1. Red Velvet

Oh please. There are one too many concepts we have not seen on Red Velvet yet. And until we’ve seen them all, no curse can take these beauties away!

2. GOT7

The brotherhood is strong for GOT7. Plus, 7 is a lucky number for these boys. They’re about to turn the “7 Year Curse” into “7 Year Bliss”.

3. MAMAMOO

MAMAMOO know exactly what they’re doing and where they’re going. And there are plenty of things these divas want to achieve in their careers. Smashing the curse is definitely one of them.
