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
