Second and third generation K-Pop groups are reaching a point where they may mainly focus on their individual careers and even sign on with different companies. However, many have beaten the seven year curse, choosing to remain together in some capacity and make a comeback when their schedules align. SHINee is one of these groups that have remained together, despite some members joining a different agency.
