6 K-pop Groups That Had No Member Changes Since Debut
The K-pop industry is very unpredictable, and a lot can change in the blink of an eye. One of those changes is a group's member lineup. For some groups, there are times when they remove members or add new ones to the existing lineup. Some groups who have done this are KARA, Brave Girls, Super Junior, and Red Velvet, to name a few. However, there are also existing groups that haven't had any changes in their lineup at all!
With that, here are some of the K-pop groups that had no member chances since their debut.
1. SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN
On May 26, 2015, Pledis Entertainment debuted the boy group SEVENTEEN. The group became a hot topic for the thirteen members, consisting of Woozi, S.Coups, Joshua, Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Hoshi, Jun, The8, DK, Mingyu, Vernon, Seungkwan, and Dino.
After being in the industry for over seven years, the group remains strong with all of its members. All of them also renewed their contracts with the company, defeating the infamous seven-year curse.
2. TWICE
TWICE
JYP Entertainment debuted their girl group TWICE on October 20, 2015, after the members competed in the survival program "SIXTEEN." The group debuted with nine members: Nayeon, Momo, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Sana, Mina, Chaeyoung, Dahyun, and Tzuyu.
Although the group was plagued with disbandment rumors, all nine members ended up renewing their contracts and continuing their TWICE promotions with no members lost.
