When groups come to the end of their contracts, they can choose to leave their agencies, and possibly their groups, for a variety of reasons. Some continue to have activities even while under different labels, or after being disbanded.
Boy Group Returns With All Members And Original Name After Being Disbanded By Company
In 2012, TS Entertainment debuted a boy group with the concept of being aliens from another planet. B.A.P quickly stood out for their strong concepts and unique visuals, including all members being blonde.
The group achieved significant popularity and were able to embark on many different tours around the world and were the first K-pop artist to achieve several milestones, including MTV’s something something.

However, behind-the-scenes issues between TS Entertainment and B.A.P ultimately led to the group suspending their contracts with the agency due to unpaid fees. Other issues cited by both the group and fans included the group’s treatment and risks to their physical health.
This led to a nearly year long hiatus before matters were settled between the company and the group allowing them to return with a new release. As contracts expired, the members began leaving the company with it ultimately, appearing as though the group had silently disbanded.
