4. ONEUS: Although the boy group used to have six members, it changed when the member RAVN faced accusations involving sexual misconduct and breaking COVID-19 health regulations, leading him to leave the group but also the K-Pop industry.

6. MONSTA X: The group debuted as a seven-member K-pop act in 2015, but the strong allegations of illegal drug usage against Wonho led him to leave the boy group in 2019.
7. 2PM: Jun.K, Nickhkun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, Chansung, and Jaebeom debut with this group, but this seven-member line-up did not last forever, as twelve years after the agency announced Jaebeom’s (Jay Park) contract ended due to allegedly expressing his hatred for Korea.
