What happened to exid of more importantly what is gonna happen to exid exid
Is a legendary girl group that kind of had overnight success and now we may be seeing the end
Hello guys and welcome back to another episode of the what happened series today as you can see we're taking a look at
Exid and this is more on topic because of the news that just recently happened
But I'll talk about that later. And like I always like to do with these videos before looking forward. I was like to look back
2011 is the year in his top we're exid is getting to be
Formed and they had a really interesting beginning of how they all came together. So exid technically was an effort between
JYP trainees and the producer and really the mastermind behind exid till this day
Shinsadong tiger and also a be entertainment which was exodus first natima comedy, but then they would join what would be banana culture
You know all that business talk
So yes exid was formed by trainees from jyp entertainment
And from a be entertainment yesterday originally had six total members where most of them were trainees
except for 1l e le
was an underground rapper and songwriter in korea with the stage name le e ly
Until she was scouted by shinsadong tiger
Himself, there's a story there that I really want to learn more about but anyways
That just shows you how much talent LD had from the beginning?
2011 saw exid debut with who's that girl with all six members and it was actually met with a decent response
having
840,000 digital copies sold, but soon after out of the six members yuichi tummy and head room
Hey, hey head. You don't hit him head
hey why you got to put that are anyways left the group to focus on school and an acting career but a be
Entertainment and shinsadong tiger at the time didn't believe that this was enough for there was a hole that needed to be filled in comes
Solji and halen to join the group to fill in for the missing spots
Solji coming from another company and head him actually being a part of exid but didn't make the first cut
But then she was still a trainee under a b and and was able to join this second time as the new
exid they released her single every night, which only sold a hundred of 5,000 digital copies a
Substantial drop from their debut numbers but exid continued on and was recognized for their success by winning
Rookie of the Year at the 20th Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards in the beginning of 2013
These singles that would change the future of exid forever
was released
But up and down wasn't as big as a hit as you initially thought it was it actually failed to make the top
100 on the kyon chart and it was easily forgotten by fans and by
Kpop audiences in general then a year later after up and down came out one video
Possibly saved exid from the verge of disbanding
This video went insanely viral and revitalized exid whole career and it was a fancam of hani
performing up and down which blew up
Having a total of 29 million views till this day of recording
Like I said this video
Revitalize di cities whole career up and down then shot back straight up the charts causing exid
To be invited back on music shows long after the official promotions ended as a result of this and coming back to music shows
Exid received their first-ever win with up and down On January
2015
This is one of the most inspirational
Motivating and crazy k-pop stories that I remember ever like in history of kpop
This is insane. You excited continue to set the kpop scene on fire with their next comeback. Ah, yeah
With the catchy song and memorable choreography
I asked cemented aacd as a top girl group of the time and proved that they can do the sexy concept
Better than everyone else in
2016 exid went international by debuting in China in the same year
The street album was released with the title track
Li e or lie aside from ly being a Bop member le n pluck ster writing and Composition
Skills by creating numerous songs in this 12 song album and grabbing more number one wins for exid editor's note here exid
street album the eclipse album yo
Those albums have the best b-sides in kpop hands-down like I still listen to them to this day
It just has a certain atmosphere mood. And I think le is just a complete genius for all of these songs
anyways after another promotion in China Saturday banana culture EXID label announced that solji was diagnosed with
Hyperthyroidism a condition in which there is excessive production of the thyroid hormone and the gland which can cause dramatic weight loss
Irritability and tiredness and so so she was forced to sit out promotions, but that didn't stop exid
He said these first comeback as for was with the eclipse album and with the title track
Night rather than day even with her lead vocals out exid was able to still win more
number one spots with this new album with solji out
Head him had to step up and become the lead vocalist of the group which for me was a blessing in disguise
Hidden is such an amazing vocalist and i'm so glad she got this opportunity
To showcase it like when I heard her step up in night rather than day in lady
Yo hid him heaven is just a bundle of sunshine as she's got a voice that is
Oh
magnifique Oh magnifique
Exid then went on tour in Asia to prove that
They still are a huge name in kpop their next comeback exid still had a promoters for as solji was recovering from recent
surgery to help her recover faster from
Hypothyroidism with the single album lady a throwback song that from the music video to the song
Composition to the style the clothes the atmosphere. It was old-school 80s 90s
marvelous recreation of the time and I
I
Can't even speak it was done. So well, Japan was then graced by exid with them debuting in Japan in early 2018
Wall-e I said he was promoting in Japan a solji was planning her return
With a bang a popular show in korea called king of masked singer where singers and other celebrities seeing with a mask hiding their identities
Leaving the panel and the audience's to guess who is behind the voice or should I say the masked so she made her appearance
And actually won the entire show from the 82nd to the 86 generation of the show
Whatever that means generation
I guess season or episode at what generation with?
causing a huge response for solji and more importantly solji joining exid again and leggo of course was rejoicing
Lego is exodus fandom name if you didn't know in november excit announced a full member come back with the album
I love you the title track. I love you saw exid
enter for the first time ever in the Billboard world digital song sales chart and number 5 now in
2019 ei said he went back to Japan for a tour in the beginning of this year and then recently everyone was shocked
by the news of hani and Chung hua leaving banana culture as their contracts and
This month with the rest of the members resigning with banana culture. However
Exid will have one
Come back as they announced and already started teasing for their fifth mini-album. So be sure to witness
Yay CDs possibly last time together with their comeback on the 15 now since this is called what happened to exid
Let me explain my exid are possibly disbanding or it seems to be the end
Solji having a break really didn't stop the momentum of exid
so if people want to say that solji is the reason that exid is kinda slowing down now and you know
It was about to end. I don't think that is the case. I think it's just a case of
The 7-year curse. So if you don't know the 7-year curse and kpop is basically around the time that on average a group lasts
So from debut till they disband is 7 years on average
It is much shorter for a girl group than a guy group
But that's the statistic but let's be honest exid was one of those groups. That weren't like
Top of the pack like 21 or a Girls Generation, but they were still up there like their name was discussed
so many times throughout the years they had very
unique and amazing hits of the time the choreography stood out from everybody else and
Exid of course, like I said, they were able to pull off this sexy and mature concepts
so
Well, not many groups till this day can even pull that off so exid having some of my favorite music
I hope this is in the end. I doubt this is the end but exid if you're watching. Thank you
