The 15 Saddest Member Departures From K-Pop Groups, According To Fans

It’s always painful to some degree when a K-Pop idol leaves their group, whether it was somewhat expected or completely out of the blue. Even if it’s the idol’s own decision to leave, rather than being forced out of their group against their will, it can be understandably hard for fans to come to terms with the change. Recently on Reddit, a post was made for K-Pop fans to share what they think were the most painful group member departures in the industry, and these are 15 of their top answers.
