When K-Pop idols debut they sign a contract to promote as a group for a certain period of time. Thereafter, they will be faced with the option to renew their contracts or sometimes the company will decide what happens to a group. This can be quite an anxious time for fans as they hope that their favorite groups can stay together in at least some way, shape, or form.
