How do you cope when your ride-or-die group disbands?
I want to hear from people who stanned only one group their whole life and eventually faced that group’s disbandment. What was it like for you?
For context: RM went live a couple of hours ago and mentioned how they had once again contemplated ending things — even ending the group. Hearing that hit me so hard. I know they’ve gone through so many hardships, and jumping straight into a comeback right after that kind of “hell” (the military) must be exhausting. Every idol struggles, but that doesn’t invalidate what they feel — and we all know the pressure on them is heavier than most.
When he said it, my heart literally dropped. I felt a buzzing in my head. I always knew disbandment was going to happen someday, but in my mind it was something far in the future — like when they were in their 40s or 50s. I always assumed music would be inseparable from them for decades.
It shocked me to realize just how affected I am. I grew up with them. Through every chapter of my life, they were my comfort — sometimes even more than my own family.
So if the day really comes, how do I move on from that? (Please don’t tell me “do more stuff,” “time heals,” or “it’s not that deep,” because clearly it is for me.)
