Turtles announce disbandment five months after comeback

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Wednesday, September 21, 2011

After overcoming the death of Turtleman and regrouping after a 5-year hiatus, Turtles has announced that they will be disbanding again, just 5 months into their comeback. According to industry officials, the members recently held a meeting and came to the consensus of disbanding the band and pursuing their individual paths. The reason laid heavily in the financial burden, as the members had to personally fund the production of their comeback album, "Hero". Costs were higher than expected, and the members felt pressured by the burden.  On top of that, new member Lee Kang couldn't join them in promotions due to personal reasons.  In the end, the group decided that it was impossible to continue the team any longer. Member Jiyi will be going back to study abroad in Japan while Geumbi is looking into other career options outside of the entertainment industry. Source + Photos: Sports Seoul via Naver
