Matty Its like how it was said in the video. Spica was never that popular. There was always the threat that they were going to disband which is unfortunate because all the members are fantastic singers. They kept barely surviving until lee hyori helped promote and produce a new song (tonight). They look on the theme of retro fashion and sound. But gradually lost popularity again and their last song (secret time) didnt do so well and so their company dropped them. The members still believe in the group and want to stay togethor but nothing is certain 😔😔😔.

[@ashanab.7105]

So-ra Lee Right she improved so much!!! Hate to say it but I remember her voice being my least favorite because her voice was so nasally and kinda had a lisp, compared to the others' strong voices. Now she has a more mature stronger voice. Maybe it was destined for her to debut (hopefully) later in her life. This situation would be 1000x better if all of SPICA was competing together on the Unit. They all had great voices and deserved everything in the world😢

[@dreamworldVII]

I disagree. Jiwon could always sing this well. She just rarely got a chance to show what she could do, since she was overshadowed by all the other singers in Spica. For example, go and watch some of her live performances of Shower of Tears with Baechigi. (For this purpose, you must watch the live performances. In the MV for this song, Ailee sings on the audio track, but Jiwon is actually in the MV, and featured on most of the live performances.)

[@iampetz]

+Ashana B. She just has a different singing style. The other members were "powerhouse" singers, while hers is more "fine". It's like comparing a b-girl with a ballerina, two different styles of dance and some dancers are more suited to one over the other, but it's not very fair to compare the two.

[@selenecristina6630]

Unpopular Opinion: Honestly saying, SPICA was vocally way better than AOA, but SPICA decadence came because at the time, AOA good looks and sexy concepts got more attention, but their voices (spica) were stunning, I really wish they could be together now because, as you might know, she got to Debut on UNI.T but they didn't last long and disbanded, and where most of them already had groups, most of the members got to be placed on their original groups, leaving Jiwon without an established group, and I feel so bad for her, because she's stunning and her voice is amazing, her and SPICA deserved so much more and so much better...

[@emmylee8069]

Why you blame AOA? Mamamoo is the one that took spotlight from Spica and if not even Mamamoo, this is just their luck and destiny. Spica was my fave group too but this is their luck, if they didn't have enough loyal fans or decent fandom to support them, then that's their luck. Blaming another idol for getting popular and trashing them won't change anything. Idols in general no matter how famous they become they can lose their fame with time. I mean look at 2ne1, Bigbang and soon same will happen with BTS and the other popular groups. It is a cycle, out with the old and in with the new. Plus AOA got attention for sexy concept but so did Girls Day and Sistar. Sexy concept was trendy back in 2014 and these three groups benefited the most from it because well that is their luck. Just be grateful for everything and don't hate others because hatred is useless. Now try to at least make Jiwon successful as soloist.

[@emmylee8069]

@@mariunfabregas7533 1 member was a bully and you label the entire group? How ignorant can you get? Stop it already. Should've? Could've? Would've? What use does it have now? The past is the past and if Spica members moved and and accepted their fate, then so should you. Hating on AOA alone is not going to change anything. Plus I'll say it again, it is all luck, AOA did a sexy concept and the song became a hit, same with SISTAR and Girls Day. Sexy was trendy back then but Spica followed different direction. Also, Spica didn't have strong loyal fan base behind them because most quickly moved on to Mamamoo as an alternative. Now focus on making the most positive impact for Spica members such as Jiwon who deserves a successful solo career as singer and actress instead of hating because that is totally useless.

[@selenecristina6630]

@@emmylee8069 I didn't blame anyone, I stated facts. It's not the first time things like this happen in the k-pop industry, where groups with vocal quality lose because companies pulled up these generic concepts on groups for the sake of their profit. Groups like Mamamoo were not based on the luck of an era, their company made them stay true to themselves and they succeeded, and I (Me, because the opinion is mine) think the same could happen with SPICA. AOA's company tried too hard to hide them on a concept that didn't match them, they lost their harmony as a group (I didn't even bring the scandal) and look at the result. Groups like 2EN1 didn't stand a chance because they were willing to stay loyal to their truth and talent - encouraging people to be themselves and not trying to make them fit on a standard to feel ok - on a company that just wanted looks and money, they didn't disband or lost fame because they wanted or just because "it happens" - they were kicked to the curb. Sexy concept may even have been a trend back then, but you have to understand that a concept like that can be built IF the person is confortable with it, and you can see that most idols that been submitted to even wear sexy outfits (Momoland, Red Velvet, etc.) were clearly uncomfortable, picture trying to pull that up for YEARS because it was "luck" (Have you seen bingle bangle or Good Luck? Those were girl crush concepts that they pulled off really well without needing that much of exposure), that's where they were standing, that's what made them fall, and I believe SPICA could really make it different, with or without AOA, but at the time, that's what happened, and they lost their chance to even prove it. I would love to suppert Jiwon, but she's back at where she was, so it can be a little hard for her.

[@selenecristina6630]

@@emmylee8069 Girl, bullying is bullying, they were a group, a member was suffering in silence to the point where she almost committed suicide and what did the other members do? Nothing (do you understand how serious is that?), if they actually worked as a group they wouldn't have to depend on luck or concepts (when it came to spica, they were from a small company, since they lost to aoa, they also lost their chance to continue as a group, their company couldn't afford to move them on), I cannot put them to blame, because is something that their company pulled on them but gatekeeping bullying makes them bullies and for that, there's no excuse.

[@emmylee8069]

@@selenecristina6630 AOA already debuted with Sexy anyway, if you watch Elvis and the dance you'll understand. The company always had sexy direction for AOA and it just happened to blow up with Miniskirt because the song was a bop. Every idol works hard and it took AOA over 2 years to get noticed. The company tried and pushed them hard with busking and mini concerts. I believe Spica would've done well had their company been patient and push them harder but I guess it was their luck and the past is past now. Can't change anything except wish them luck with what they do. Also, AOA might not be a vocal heavy group but they are talented, they work just as hard as other idols. I don't see often people downgrade BTS for being way too popular when they literally lack vocal ability compared to other groups even rookies. But that's another story. My point is neither AOA nor any idol should be brought down to justify why another idol was not more popular. You could've been sad about Spica situation needless of bringing AOA into this because you make it seem like AOA don't deserve their success. That's shady and unfair on both sides. I am sure Spica wouldn't want us comparing and saying another group is less talented than them yet got more popular. It serves no one.

Spica was better than Mamamoo. All of the members could sing very well. Jiwon was actually considered the "weakest" singer in the group, and was there partly as a visual. But this is somewhat misleading, since Jiwon is also a very good singer. Her singing was just less powerful than the other members, she's more of a finesse singer. All of the other members were powerful singers like Ailee, Hyorin or Uji. Mamamoo does have excellent singers also, but only Solar and probably Wheein are at the same level as most singers in Spica.

Me too, strong anger...

She was always one of my favorites from spica..❤️🔥❤️

[@lumenardens]

I hate this side of kpop... Because she's not the only one. There have been hundreds of groups in the past ten years and barely anyone makes it to the top and stays there. And for them to go back and start all over is so heartbreaking. I mean she was an idol already and now has to do a part time job again to get by... gosh I'm so mad and sad. This industry sucks so much.

[@tigereyes2330]

It's not just Kpop though. It's hard to make it big in any music industry.

[@nikshazrin2491]

Tell me what other industries that are not sucks?

[@ariannaharley11]

It's because they stopped getting recognition and making money. You cant just keep taking care of people who aren't doing anything for your company and their company's already broke

[@nikshazrin2491]

@@ariannaharley11 true, but these people don't really care because it's not their money.

[@graviitea]

It's tougher in the Kpop industry because idols literally start young to train in singing, dancing, rapping, multiple languages, etc. So much to do that they can not focus so much on school. Because of that many idols don't have a good college degree to get a job after their group disbands. It's like their whole life got wasted because of the industry. It's unlike western industry where the parent can make a deal and have their child stay in school before focusing on their career. Also in the kpop industry their is accumulated debt from all the training, it isn't like that in western industry.

[@evadora1564]

She even sang Tonight 😭😭😭 my fav song from Spica.. The feels

[@SantheSunflower]

It was really sad to see the other girls at first trying to get her into their team because she was really good...and had a really good impression from both the judges and the audience. But they forgot that not everyone is perfect so when she made mistakes or had difficulties with dancing or keeping up with them, they used to ignore her...

[@jane-jr3fk]

she even had a part time job after spica disband TT

[@Just999Me]

remember for each successful top-tiered group, there are probably at least 10 groups that do not succeed. Mega artists usually make up only 1.1 percent of all artists. apparently 91% of all artists are usually undiscovered. it's a high-risk/high-reward type of career

It's so irksome that the mentor asked if she sang that way originally. SPICA was full of great voices they were amazing all around. It breaks my heart that no one really noticed them.

[@urik19]

Missbriily I guess she said that because spica has vocalists like bohyung and boa. the rest are in my opinion above average, but when you are not a fan, you won't know because bohyung and boa are just that good.

[@Kylie2611]

Missbriily IKRRRR she always sang well omg wth. I really hope this show will help her sighh):

urik19 Right, if you'll suggest vocalists from SPICA members. Bohyung and Boa are at high tier.

Hopefully Jiwon will do well and get the fame and all and the other girls will find their way to success too. Fighting! SPICA was a very good girl group with uber talented members. All of them are pretty and can sing that's why Jiwon didn't really stand out when she was in Spica. Hope all the girls well. OMG I'm crying. :')
