When nu'est comes under hybe label I wasn't really happy with that bcz i got bad feeling about their disbandment. Nu'est journey is truly inspirational, it's not easy for them . Nu'est have very unique music style, they all r multi-talented & self produce idol group . They r one of the most amazing group in the kpop.

I kept telling myself they wanted this, they wanted to pursue their own dreams and goals but I always thought about this... NU'EST was everything to them as much as it was to us. Everything was just way too rushed to be a proper final goodbye so I know we will see all of them together again and yeah till then, like Lay said, let's support the boys with what they are doing now..Thanks for making this ❤️❤️ People should know that Nu'est wasn't a band that disbanded because they were unpopular or had bad chemistry cause they definitely had it all.

[@brennathecatlover4360]

They were really popular in Korea or at least what I’ve heard

[@Mokawoo]

Their song inside Out explains it all I knew it was hybe from the beginning your not a true fan if you didn’t catch that?? “Your the one that I want your the one that I need don’t wanna be free ” they needed us we needed to support them and them saying they don’t want to be free means they didn’t want to be free from our love they wanted to stay and I’m guessing it’s because they didn’t have a big enough fan base to support the budget. Just have to accept it especially if so called fans like you out their who can’t tell their message to us as fans.

[@theodoramina4142]

@@Mokawoo It wasn’t about the money budget they had. They were still growing in popularity. Every comeback they were getting even bigger. If they were given two years then they could have been one of the top groups right now. The fault of Hybe is that by disbanding still growing fandoms and groups ( Gfriend and Nu’est) they fail to realise that they are losing even larger future profits. This is all done in the name of momentary economic prosperity without looking forward to the possibility of future larger incomes from their current groups that may be doing well. If Hybe keeps having BTS’s main income as a target for all of their groups then they will eventually completely disband all their groups and the whole company once BTS retires.

[@bichen-up-ur]

Aaron did express that they wanted to continue on for many more years and that their bond was stronger than any group.

It's 100% about money. They could just easily hire a team to manage the lower income groups but I guess if it's not top idol income, it's not worth it for hybe.

[@lanamello7445]

I hope just like GOT7 they get the rights to their group or start their own company. I feel so sorry for JR, I cannot imagine the anxiety and the sadness that he must have felt after doing so much for the group. On a different note, it was nice to see Ren's cheeks filled out, he's had to maintain the feminine image for so long and even though it's clear he loves the fashion behind it, I cannot imagine the dieting that he must have gone through to maintain that image.

I have lost all my interest in the Kpop industry. I mean, I'm Korean, but I never was INTO Kpop ever in my life before this group. After 2 yrs of their disbandment, Nu'est is still my first and the last group that I ever LOVED, and I don't listen to Kpop after all.

[@0spacesuicide]

I mean, companies choose their group name and even stage names at times. Some companies choose a group name before potential trainees to be in said group.

[@thegreatunknown8574]

You're forgetting the fact that they were trained and invested in, not just during training, but every time they are promoted thru social media, television, articles, etc. The amount of money needed to make a group buzz is a lot. Course the company needs to get it back. Proof of this is the amount of talented individuals in small companies that are barely known. K-pop stans think the idols do 80-90% of the work. But similar to the body, they are only the exterior. The internal organs of an idol's success is the company.

[@positivevibes8986]

Everything need money. Without investment how idol can create company. When they are trainee lots of money is invested plus in the market the group are advertised in various platform. It requires money. Without company you can't be recognized in the K pop music industry.

That's kind of depressing to hear how Hybe not only disbanded them suddenly without making the transition easier for them, but did this *to a profitable group.* So stupid. They could've at least helped the members to transition to another company and reform the group elsewhere, if they didn't want to deal with Nu'est anymore.

Remember to always be nice even though the world is cruel against us. That's actually one of the things NU'EST taught me. Despite being laughed on and received countless hates especially when they joined pd101, and up until now that they disbanded and are trying to work hard on their own. Despite them keeping their chin up, many haters would still flock on them. Calling them names, insulting their group that they badly protected. But never once they heard them bad mouth the people who stepped on them, and that's make me more proud as a fan.

I will express my opinion on this subject, in reality it seems that they were forced to disband because of the company's stupid decisions 🤦‍♀️ At the beginning of 2022 they were planning for the future and it seemed that they wanted to renew the contract, but after meeting the company it seems that it forced them to disband or offered them to be single🤦‍♀️ 💔 Really, nu'est deserves the best, but the two companies did not offer them much, nor good promotion, nor make them go to various shows and programs, and there are members who do not get opportunities to shine, and this is very painful! Now even though they are separated and it breaks my heart, they still have opportunities to shine and show off their talents. NU'EST will get together again in the future because they are a group that has a very strong relationship with each other and it is impossible to separate them for a long time

[@Tooba-K123]

I remember first getting the hint that kpop exists back in 2012 when I heard Gangnam Style. After that I used to get some kpop groups recommendation in youtube. Top most common groups that I was recommended was Girls Generation, Big Bang, Exo and NU'EST. I didn't knew what kpop was but I did heard them and really enjoyed them. However after a month I lost my phone and the algorithm was reset in new phone. I didn't knew anything related to kpop until I heard the name BTS kept popping up everywhere during 2017-18. I got in kdramas by the end of 2018 amd through some show I kept discovering some kpop idols, its through the kdrama fans that I discovered that there's actually a whole kpop industry and there are multiple groups and solos. I had already tried getting myself into kpop starting with BTS but sadly their music didn't get me invested on first try (no offense to BTS, they're indeed talent but just didn't get me initially), I tried another 4th generation group through a friend's recommendation but couldn't get in them either. I had had almost given up on kpop thinking it's not my type until I came across Exo members through kdramas. I noticed the name Exo popping out everywhere in kdramas section (it was also triggering my old memories) and since I really liked their acting, I decided to give one last chance to kpop. Thankfully Exo didn't disappoint me and I finally was able to get into kpop through their videos. That's when I started to discover new groups amd finally came across NU'EST and Girls Generation which unlocked my memories. They were so freaking good and they made me realize that I actually like whole 2nd generation and a few 3rd generation groups. I've been a multistan since then until I had to leave kpop and kdramas in 2021 due to personal reasons. I came back after 2-3 years only to discover one of my favorite groups has disbanded. NU'EST were already really amazing so had they waited more long, Hwang Min Hyun's shows were big success. That would've helped promote NU'EST even further in the same way it happened for SF9. I'm truly sorry what the fandom had to go through. The company really failed them and their artist. I can't even comprehend what these boys had to go through.

[@suzimon8613]

9:11 yeah tell me about it .. anyways, let me put emotions aside and discuss first. You know, financial profit is just another "face value" reason or just one of the reasons to screw our boys only. The head company (I don't even want to mention that label) was so eager to strip the NU'EST's title of "the-most-senior-group-in-the-label-chain", and remove the image of "the-10-year-old-group-with-all-full-member-still-standing" from our boys for some reasons clearly. Even though the international fandom is not huge, all NU'EST's oversea concerts are sold well, the merchandise are being ordered world wide with great sales still. Plus our boys are more on solo schedule in their senior years and selling well on solo activities. Aron is so rare gem who can speak English like no one. Baekho can be a producer and solo singer. JR, Ren and Minhyun have promising acting paths. NU'EST is a group that members are doing well on their own alone in solo as well. So financial reason alone is a little bit lame. There's some policy for priority of the image etc are involved for sure. Well just my personal opinion thou.

[@royalstarlyte]

This!! Oh my gosh! I finally got to see this kind of opinion! Nu'est has all the ingredients to be that legendary group. They have good speakers of English and Japanese language for global expansion, they have their producer within the group for their discography, they have a very solid Korean fanbase, their visuals are something that's hard to surpass too (they effin' get more handsome as time goes by, all of them), they can act, they can do musical, gosh everything.. They also know how to stand as one group, even with absences. They are just so so balanced... When Baekho had to recover from surgery, Nu'est was still Nu'est. When Minhyun was on hiatus, "they never considered a unit promotion even then" (quoted from LOVE STORY: INSIDE OUT EP12; Nu'est W is still Nu'est promoting as a whole group). When Aron was resting, they still went with major activities. Nu'est is just so balanced. And most important of all, everyone wants to stay in the group for a long long time. It's actually rare to see idol groups with 100% original members after first or second renewal. That is something that's gonna be so legendary if we see Nu'est still complete in their 15th year anniv. If Nu'est stayed during the hard times, then the decision to stay during the good times should be easier. I'm sure the members still have a lot of things they want to achieve within the group. I super agree with that "the-most-senior-group-in-the-label-chain" and "the-10-year-old-group-with-all-full-member-still-standing"!!! That evil company wanted to remove potential rivals for that legacy early in the game.

Aron hyung will always support his dongsaengs. they will back stronger. a loyal L.O.V.E here.

[@meee726]

This is so sad like it's so unfair for both nuest and loves :( I will keep waiting until nuest come back again

[@WolfSoul89]

I hope they all are alright and in good terms with each other and that they'll achieve whatever each of them wishes for in the future

Nu’est road was really rough..

[@hwaaner]

I miss them, I was a big fan of em >;

[@jSeolhee]

😭😭 bring back our NU’EST 😭😭

[@davinaher5542]

I saw baekho celebrated an 11th anniversary on his Instagram in March. Idk if they were all together or if it was just for his debut anniversary but it gave me hope 😭

[@AdzPower]

HYBE: Let's disband two popular groups that make us tons of money! I was only a casual fan of gfriend and nu'est, but their disbandments were always very fishy and random to me, something definitely went down, I can't wait for a tell-all book once those NDA' start to end.

[@nttthao]

It still hurts a lot thinking nuest is no longer ot5. Hasn't been a year since the announcement but it feels like forever for L.O.ㅅ.E

[@dumbomb]

What else could be the reason? When Pledis got acquired by Hybe, I was not sure and kind of scared for Nu'est seeing the direction of that company and other reasons. Hybe is definitely having the global market in mind since they made it with BTS. As artists honestly Nu'est can't go against their decision. I am just sad and upset that they couldn't even give them a proper final album. I cried everytime I watched the last MV. Thank you for making this video and as you said we just hope there will be a way for us to meet Nu'est again in the future. Cheer up and best wishes to everyone.

Gracias, ahora estoy llorando

[@tiannaclaus6653]

LAY YOU DID NOT INCLUDE THE INSTRUMENTALS OF SPRING AGAIN IN THE END IM CRYING NOW

[@laynaran4890]

im sorry🌹

[@majopereda658]

Got7 stayed together even from different agencies. I've faith that one day, the members could do this as well. I know it's unlikeable, but it can happen, and I'm sure both Baekho and Minhyun would love to reunite with JR, Ren and Aron.

[@rica729]

Hybe is like a giant that acquire companies and then kill the competition instead of focusing on their own group ... None of the hybe's group would have made it in market otherwise.

[@heyitsrosie]

I'm a buddy and their situation breaks my heart the same way Gfriend's disbandment did. I'm 100% sure Pledis and source would have kept them if the weren't acquired.

[@heyitsrosie]

@@nicoleloss7987 I don't know what you, a Hybe worshipper, is doing here and trying to play all smart by explaining "something". Now let me explain something to YOU, Hybe acquired 80% if voting shares from those companies, do you know what that means? So tell me, hybe worshipper, if you buy 80% of a business, you won't have any say in what is done to that business? Be real because it sounds like you haven't stepped out to the real corporation world yet.

[@felixfors9340]

Highly doubt it. Sowon is the reason that group WIA

[@heyitsrosie]

@@felixfors9340 then every idols group should be disbanded whenever they are involved in an incident.

[@Ghidorah164]

The group had class. I was disappointed with the dirt on stage shortly before the disband.

[@bluepurplea1121]

It's October alr, but still crying watching them apart

[@margaretheo]

Not just LOVE, the whole nation was confused about the disbandment. What's funnier about the situation is that they gain newbie fans after Again released but these people didn't know a sh!t that Needle & bubble would be their last album. I swear their parting situation left mixed-up feelings (except joy)

[@pineapple1612]

Such an informative video... I am really wondering what happened behind the scenes!

[@Raven-pb1mf]

Man, I was really happy when these boys started promoting again as a group only to hear them disbanding. 😢

[@mphomahlatsi5807]

I woke up crying today only knowing now that they have disbanded, my heart is broken 😢

[@susierna2259]

but now we got a lot of contents from them as a solo artist. the thing that we can't get from them as Nu'est.... but still I miss them together to....

[@jessicachan673]

let's meet again when the spring comes🥺

[@Lenny_Kumi]
