Boy Bands That Haven't Lost A Member Since Debut (1998-2012)
We all know that Kpop is excruciatingly hard for boyband and girl groups as well. Many members leave and many come. Some groups may even disband. Everyone who wants to become a Kpop idol goes through tough training, anywhere from 4 months to 8 years -- which could consist of schooling, vocal lessons, acting lessons, learning different languages, dance lessons, and learning some instruments -- and they may or may not debut within a group.
So, I complied a list of Kpop male groups who haven't lost a member, or gotten one added in, since debut. Of course, since there is limited space on here I decided to only include those from 2012-1998.
I have also added some fun facts of each group and their fandom//color so that we can get to know them better. VIXX
