HOW PYTHON SOCIETY SABOTAGED ITS FIRST EVER GROUP ─── AND WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

the  smallest  child  can  crush  a  python  egg.  but  let  the  snake  hatch  and  grow  and  the  python  will  squeeze  and  devour  the  child   ───   do you remember monster rookies virago? don’t worry if not, not a lot of people do, they were covered very meticulously by the company that was supposed to manage and protect them but instead failed them.

python  society  opened  their  doors  to  trainees  on  a  tuesday.  it  was  raining,  several  trainees  left  the  floor  at  the  entrance  wet  due  to  their  umbrellas  or  lack  there  of.  there  were  twenty  trainees  there  that  day,  kyungsoo  would  only  choose  two  that  day  to  continue  training.  many  people  believe  in  luck  coming  with  the  rain,  but  was  joining  python society  luck?  or  was  it  a  cruel  twist  of  fate  to  those  who  fell  into  the  python’s  jaw?

it  was  raining  when  hong  kyungsoo  decided  to  make  python  society.  he  was  always  a  man  who  wanted  to  be  rich  but  never  wanted  to  work  for  it  himself.  finding  himself  working  a  9  to  5,  five  days  a  week  was  enough  to  push  him  over  the  edge  and  become  impulsive.  he  and  his  sister  were  drunk  at  a  bar  and  he  was  desperate  for  anyway  to  quit  his  job  and  still  get  rich.  he  drew  the  name  and  a  rough  logo  onto  the  napkin  he’d  just  used  to  wipe  the  ketchup  from  his  fingers  after  finishing  his  fries.  the  company  was  sloppy  and  unprofessional  from  the  start.

python  society  thankfully  found  success  almost  immediately.  debuting  the  four  girls  was  risky,  though  members  like  eunju  had  been  training  under  the  company  for  about a year,  yiru  had  just  gotten  to  south  korea  about  a  month  prior.  the  possibilities  of  failure  fell  upon  kyungsoo’s  deaf  ears.  he  couldn’t  stand  not  earning  much  money  anymore,  he  needed  a  group  to  bring  in  the  money.  and  that’s  what  virago  did, at least at first. debuting  in  2016,  the  company’s  only  girl  group (or group period),  virago  stole  the  title  of  monster  rookies  days  after  their  debut.  their  debut  was  random  and  rushed,  kind  out  of  nowhere.  barely  any  kpop  enjoyers  even  knew  that  python  society  existed,  and  with  no  teasers  or  any  build  up,  virago  just  . . .  appeared.  but  the  music  was  good,  if  nothing  else,  python  society  has  always  had  good  music.  something  that’s  protected  them  for  very  long.  virago  also  happened  to  be  handpicked  with  visuals  kyungsoo  knew  would  succeed,  knew  would  get  them  money,  knew  would  be  suited  for  sexier  concepts.

virago kept up their “girl crush” concept for one comeback before switching to become more sexy, to appeal to male audiences. it was subtle at first, the sound changing a bit, the girls’ skirts getting shorter, small stuff that can now be seen as concerning, but back then, were too small to bring negative attention. after all, the men, virago’s new intended audience, liked it. isn’t that what matters?

push came to shove with virago’s third release “miniskirt”. released on december 9th, 2016, at the time of the release, yiru was only recently 16, with the oldest member cori turning 21 a week later. the reaction was mixed of course. a lot of the male fans, and even some female fans were overjoyed, excited to have gotten the sexy concept they wanted without having to wait until everyone was legal, but everyone else was rightfully disgusted and upset. not only that kyungsoo would even think this was okay, but because on every single fancam of yiru’s (and some other members occasionally, but they were trained to “suck it up”) the girl looked extremely distressed and uncomfortable.

hong kyungsoo has never really solved a problem or faced controversy in his entire life, so instead of apologizing, changing the concept, pretty much anything, he decided to create another group to try and cover up the scandal, unfortunately succeeding. serenade took up all the attention from virago the second they were revealed and the build your boy virago, kyungsoo disbanded them quietly in november 2017, no vlive, no concert or tour, all of the social media just deleted, and their name erased off of the company’s website.

yiru and dahyun left the company sometime between 2018 and 2020, and the remaining two members, cori and eunju allegedly still under the company and netizens are hopefully awaiting their redebut in the company’s new girl group. do you feel like you failed virago? could we have done more? or were they to damaged to be saved?

how long will you allow for a snake to knaw on your veins before the venom overcomes you?   ───   this girl group was thought to have been created to empower the female audience, hence the name virago which means female warrior. hong kyungsoo had other plans.

virago is a south korean girl group that debuted on valentines day 2016. the first and last of girl group under the company, the group was known for being “monster rookies”, dominating charts with their debut single “dun dun”. the group would silently disband after their concept change with their comeback “miniskirt” received backlash for being inappropriate, soon being buried by the success of serenade.
