As someone who’s been with fromis_9 for five years of their career, I have to say. When you experience these changes once at a time (agency change or members leaving), they don’t seem that significant. But when you really look back, it’s like, wtf… what on earth happened for fromis_9 to have this rocky of a journey lol?
Like, losing Gyuri in 2022 was already bad. She was the most popular member of the group then and it was their first career peak. But then, combined with leaving PLYBE, Saerom, Jisun and Seoyeon departed from the group. And we’re not even getting into how fromis was fighting with the agency just for their own name.
And we’re not even getting into the agency changes. When Off The Record disbanded and became Wakeone, fromis_9 wasn’t on the agency lineup at first, which was worrying as hell. Then, they moved to Pledis. Probably one of the worst years of their career, but they became very popular then. And now they signed with ASND. So far, ASND seems to be an amazing company. So, I have some hopes they’re finally in a stable work environment.
I feel like the craziest part throughout all of this, is that they’re still growing in popularity. Supersonic is still in the top 100 of every charts a year later, Like You Better is already breaking Supersonic’s records and they’re becoming one of the most popular girl groups in Korea right now. I think it’s amazing tbh, and we might never see a group like them again.
