Periodic Rookie Groups Report No. 23

Periodic Rookie Group Reports are a series of biannual reports that seek to put a number to how many rookie groups debut and make comebacks in a given year. For Report No. 23, I covered the activity of '23 rookie groups and the number of rookie groups that debuted in the first half of 2024.

2023 Rookies Of the 95 groups that debuted in 2023, six groups — three boy groups, two girl groups, and one co-ed group — disbanded. They are as follows:

DVI: 4NOLOGUE announced on February 29, 2024, on their official Twitter that following discussions with the boy group members (January ‘23), they mutually decided to terminate the members’ contracts and disband the group.

FEVERSE: According to a March 8, 2024, TVDaily article, the girl group (May ‘23) disbanded in September 2023 following the conclusion of their Japanese promotions. A Kakao Entertainment representative quoted in the article confirmed as much saying, “There are currently no activities planned for the future” but that anything could happen in the future.”

HANA: Days before the girl group’s (January ‘23) first anniversary, Art Company Soul announced on January 3, 2024, on the group’s official Instagram that after long consideration and discussions with the members, they decided to disband the group. Some of the members remain under Art Company Soul to continue their activities.

THE7: Ganada Entertainment announced in a statement posted to the boy group’s (January ‘23) official Twitter on March 19, 2024, that due to the expiration of the members’ contracts and termination of their group contract, the group was disbanding. They promised to cheer the members on their new paths.

Unbalance: The project co-ed group (October ‘23) was created as part of the KBS variety show, Beat Coin. Following the conclusion of the show’s run on January 18, 2024, with its final episode, the group presumably disbanded.

URSA MAJOR: The boy group (August ‘23) created for the MBN survival show Show King Night disbanded following the show's conclusion in September 2023.

Subtracting these six disbandments brings the total number of active rookie groups to 89 groups— 41 boy groups, 44 girl groups, three co-ed groups, and one queer group. Of these 89 groups, 43% or 38 groups released new music at least once between January and June of this year, with 16% or 14 groups doing so more than once. In comparison, to data from Rookie Reports that I have compiled since 2017, this year is in line with the average rate of comeback which is around 43%.

2024 Rookies Between January and June of this year, 52 groups—19 boy groups, 30 girl groups, and three co-ed groups. This number is on par with the same period last year that saw the debut of 52 groups, although with a different ratio of groups. While in 2023, boy groups and girl group debut numbers were more evenly matched, continuing the trend that began in 2020, girl group debuts again outpaced those of boy groups.

Of course, as I touched on in Rookie Report No. 22, categories like ‘boy groups’ and ‘girl groups’ do not reflect today's industry's landscape. Unlike in previous years, agencies are not the primary architects of new groups, many of which are formed and debut through alternative methods. In the first half of 2024, almost half of all groups—46% or 24 groups to be exact—fit this profile. Of these 24 groups:

Nine—four boy groups and five girl groups—were formed via a survival show.

Six—all of which were girl groups—debuted through Rainbow E&M’s Future Idol Asia Project (See my Quarterly Debut Review posts for more about the Future Idol Asia project)

Four—two boy groups, one girl group, and one co-ed group—formed and debuted independently from any agency.

Two—one girl group and one co-ed group—debuted as school idol groups.

One—a co-ed group—composed of members from various acts under Pocketdol Studio that was formed to release a special single.

One—a girl group—was a project group formed to promote SK Telecom's metaverse app ifland.

One—a girl group—is the latest addition to the ongoing trend of virtual idol groups.

I am not one for using these Reports to draw sweeping conclusions, especially when it is only halfway through the year and the numbers are softer. After all, within the industry that seems to abide by its temporal logic, a lot can change in six months. It is unlikely that any event that does happen will mean that the industry is returning to the status quo that has held for years. Far from it, 'rookie groups' as a concept seem to be in the throes of a transformative shift, the shape and contour of which are only just beginning to come into focus.
