I waited for their debut for so long, and I stayed up late for the youtube premiere of Dream. There weren’t many people watching, but everyone who was there was so excited and supportive. I miss them so much already, and it makes me sad that they’ll most likely be remembered more for disbanding than for the short time they had together as a group. We never got a fandom name, or even a first comeback, but Solia fans are out there, and I only wish they had the chance to meet us so we could tell them how proud we were.

[@DanniVixxen]

The entire thing was strange but I heard the decision to release it was influenced by the girls as well, that both wanted to release "Dream" since they worked so hard on it. A few days later, Sio Sijak went forward and released their canceled second single "Ring Ring" as a gift to fans as well, which was in part a decision by the girls. Either way, I feel it was meant to be a kind gift to both them and the fans who waited for them but Space Music should've been straight up with it. I feel like they treated it as a debut potentially hoping it'd lead to better sales, which, of course, means more profit for them.

[@alexia3552]

honestly makes sense though, all the effort and money was already spent on it and it just makes business sense to find some kind of angle to make that back

That must be a record, to disband in 5 days is... harsh. The closest quick disbandment I can think of was Daydream last year. Poor Solia. They obviously worked very hard and it's sad that their group got cut short due to the company being bankrupt. Hope the girls remain friends and find better companies if they want to continue with the idol life.

[@marwaessaadi]

that would’ve been a genius marketing technique if they came back as a group. Like “the disbanding group after 5 reunited”. Making them blow out because they disbanded 5 days after their debut but came back. So the popularity they gained after being labelled as the disbanded group will serve them right mostly if they show all their talent and potential. anyhow

SOLIA (쏠리아) was a five-member girl group under Space Music Entertainment. They debuted on August 17, 2021 with their first and only digital single "Dream". On August 22, 2021, it was announced that the group had disbanded. Their name is an acronym for 'Special Our Light Influence Artist'.2021: Pre-debut, debut, and disbandment On February 2, 2021, Space Music Entertainment revealed that they will be debuting a brand new girl group sometime in 2021. The girl group was told to have five-members, consisting of Suna, Eunbi, Soree, Soyeon and Hayeon. On August 17, 2021, SOLIA debuted with their first digital single, "Dream". On August 22, 2021, the group announced that they have disbanded as the company can no longer lead the group due to its circumstances. On August 26, the company clarified that these circumstances were the members all having a different idea on what their career should look like. After discussions between the company and the group, it was decided it was better to disband the group so the members could all follow their own desired path. {info from Kpop viki}

Your voice is so calm and so nice to listen too!! 🥺

[@johneyon5257]

we'll need confirmation from the girls for Space Music's version of the story - but it's plausible - hundreds of trainees never get to debut - if Space Music arranged to let the girls "debut" - if only for a few days - it might satisfy the girls my first thought when i heard about their short debut was to wonder what the contract with the girls said - was there some advantage to the company to let them debut - then shut them down - such as repayment of debt - i would expect stories of animosity by the girls if that were so - and lawsuits - but so far nothing it makes more sense that the company had financial troubles and couldn't maintain a group - poor business management seems to be too common with these agencies - too many are run by former artists who may not be remotely competent in financial matters - it would explain that while the response to their debut seemed positive - they still disbanded btw - i think the song "Dream" stands apart from typical kpop - it was catchy with a very good musical arrangement - it woulda been a nice start - instead its a nice finale

[@Mister_Dollz]

I wonder if the girls, would decide to reform under a new name and new label? Because it seems like tons of people want them to continue making music.

[@aidilharis5587]

with a song like that, yeah i did not expect for them to last long as well, no offense to the girls tho

[@SianaGearz]

There doesn't seem to be a terrible lot wrong with the songwriting per se, i have heard a lot worse from a lot bigger companies who should have known a lot better. The one thing that there is syncopation that doesn't work with the vocal melody very well, it sounds like it stumbles in the least opportune moment during the rap. I like what the producer was trying to do here, but ultimately it's a little bit of a faceplant that one, the song simply doesn't have enough dedicated space to develop a rhythmic structure like that. But there are some very objectionable production aspects. At several spots, crunchy unpleasant clipping is heard, and then one second you have nice clean vocals and then another it goes hard on automatic pitch correction and it's just eye wateringly painful, hits you right in the uncanny valley. Like, that's all easy fixes, no major problem at all, just someone (who isn't the songwriter/producer) should have listened to it once and pointed that out, it's all very salvageable, shouldn't even need a re-recording session.

[@whyearthouttaallplanets756]

The song woulda have been good but lol budget issues I guess (the graphics especially lol). The girls if given another platform with a good company as their support then they can do wayyy better. They seem to have good potential!

When I first heard about this group only lasting 5 days I was one of the people who thought that the reason was financial troubles. I didn't know that the company said Solia actually dissolved sometime before the music video was released due to "being unable to agree on a clear vison" as stated in this video. I didn't know that Solia was a pre debut project. I agree that it didn't make sense to call it a debut when they had already disbanded. The music video isn't absolutely horrible, it's just rough and needed some work/editing to make it better.

No doubt when the company saw that they were blowing up they tried REALLY hard to negotiate the girls into a debut contract, that would explain their liking comments about the group returning to activities.
