what happened to a away hello everyone
I'm Internet's Nathan and welcome to my
what happened series today as you can
see we're talking about a away but
before we do if you enjoy my what
happened series or any videos on my
channel and you haven't subscribed yet
please hit that subscribe button in that
doubt so you don't miss a thing this
video was suggested by jung-geun B if
you want to suggest the next group I
should talk about any what happened
series leave it down in the comments
down below I may choose it so now back
to a away a girl group that kinda came
from a medium-sized company and really
made a name for themselves in kpop and
for real the sexiest go group to ever
grace kpop definitely having hits and
hitting high points but also nowadays
hitting some low points and like I
always like to do before looking forward
I was like to look back in 2012 fnc
entertainment and kpop company not a
part of the big three but was a pretty
medium sized company announced a new
girl group that girl group was a away
also known as ace of angels there is a
huge like backstory of like the reason
they're ace of angels and a whole like
kind of theory and stuff so I'll leave
that to someone that's smart an
interesting fact some people maybe don't
know about AOA is that they were not
actually a kpop girl group they
originally started as a band and a group
kind of like subunits a unit called a
way black which was the band version
they would have drums a bass guitar
stuff like that and then they would have
their girl group side and they would
alternate between songs and comebacks
and it was really interesting for the
time I don't think you've ever seen a
k-pop group go back and forth between
band instruments and a k-pop group the
only one I could think of is Wonder
Girls
so AOA debuted with Elvis which was
actually a ways fandom named Elvis but
like most debuts it wasn't as successful
it peaked at number eight on the guy on
chart and when practically unnoticed
trying to stay in the public's eye and
coming back from a lukewarm debut a way
came back with wannabe we with NCAA's
banned the unit AOA black for the first
time with the band version of Gay
out and now that think about it FSC was
kind of smart showcasing the many
talents within a away and way black
would then be back again with Moya doing
decent on the charts since slowly AOA
was building up an audience but compared
to the slow start or about to see
something huge the next release would
finally make everyone know who AOA was
[Music]
miniskirt was really the first time kpop
has seen a sexy concept and I mean sexy
a seductive choreography that matched
the tempo of the music and of course
produced by the legendary Brave Brothers
miniskirt earned a away their first win
on Inkigayo in 2014
[Music]
[Applause]
upon the success of miniskirt a way
capitalise on it by coming back with
short hair their first mini album the
mayonnaise album hit number one almost
achieving a triple crown and billboard
named the short hair music video one of
the most viewed kpop videos around the
world
next a way worked their magic again with
like a cat maybe their most well known a
away release due to this sexiness of
course but also the unique Mia's video
and the unforgettable cat choreography
like a cat snatched wigs and also a way
second win on show champion
[Applause]
[Music]
sounds like you're having sugar around
this time with all the high building up
I would think that this is when Sohyun
would be getting hugely popular and
getting all these commercial and brand
deals and really her face became the
face of a away and getting all these
commercial and brand deals that idols
still mimic till this day you know the
one where they turn around and like do
that finger pointing smile and maybe it
was a huge factor in a way success 2015
a away made efforts in Japan by
releasing a Japanese version of like a
cat ranking high in all Japanese music
and music video charts in the same year
a away made their first ever trip to the
US by performing at kcon New York and LA
in 2015
2016 is the year F and C would be
looking to changeup away a bit or should
I say a lot they announced that a way
black would be making a comeback but we
never really saw that and a away would
be forming a subunit with ton me here
John and Yuna they would be called AOA
cream and debut with a song I'm jelly
baby which is a guilty pleasure of mine
I cannot deny jimin would then debut
officially sold out with the
collaboration with EXO's Shuman call you
BAE and that wasn't it for the changes
as on October 15 2016 you kung and way
blacks drummer left fnc entertainment as
her contract expired but promised if AOA
black would come back that she would
return as well 2017 AOA returned with
angels knock a full album with a double
title track excuse me and being being
still putting out amazing music in my
opinion that people have been sleeping
on that if I had a mattress sponsor in
this video I would say sleep on that
instead of sleeping on anyway come on
guys wake up wake up sheeple sadly this
would be choas last comeback with a away
as she announced her departure from the
group and fnc entertainment in a letter
written to Elvis and the fans she
mentioned to treat my insomnia and
depression I tried taking medication and
started decreasing my work two years ago
however because the problem did it stem
from being tired I ended up stopping all
my activities Choa mentioned that she
had a
battle with depression and anxiety in
order to not slow the group down that
she would leave which could be the
reason or maybe there's an underlying
reason that she doesn't want to mention
but Choa did leave a away this is an
understatement when I say that this was
a huge loss for a away as Choi was one
of the most popular members in the group
but more importantly a lead vocalist and
my opinion one of the top kpop vocalists
and I still miss her to this day a way
persevered as they returned in 2018
now as six with bingo-bango it was
received well but with no wins and no
notable results a waste future was in
danger and now just a month ago a away
face another loss Mino would leave a way
and FNC entertainment at the end of her
contract all the other members contracts
were expiring as well but they resigned
Amina was the only one that didn't
historically a away was a huge part in
making fnc big at the time but fnc has a
lot of hands and other things especially
in models and actors and actresses aoa
was iconic at the time but nowadays i
don't think they are anymore and now the
new girl group out of FSA entertainment
cherry bullet just debuted and most
recently had their first comeback
possibly filling a wee spot so what will
happen to a away right now they're kind
of on hey it is i think when it comes to
an older group like this they can have a
longer hiatuses and come back you know
further apart because people know
they're an established name and they can
come back when they want to but with
losing members and me know recently now
they're down to five but seeing the
other members resigned with F&C proves
that a away still has a couple comebacks
in the future whether they hit big again
with another Bop we'll find out at the
end of the day a away is still a huge
name that pulls a lot of eyes and I just
hope that they find it their way
find their rhythm again and people don't
sleep on them because a way has really
good music even with joy leaving even
with Mina leaving there is still talent
and a lot more to offer in this group
I look like a baby when I shave a away a
away is one of my personal favorite girl
groups back in the day and still to this
day no sleep man sleep I suggest you go
back listen to all their stuff they have
one of the most hidden gems in kpop if
people actually paid attention anyway is
phenomenal but that's it for me guys let
me know what you think is gonna happen
to a away down in the comments will they
continue on as five or will they go off
and do their solo things or who's gonna
