If 3/4th of these listed groups can keep coming with "A game" material, I think that would be a good look for this agency.

They’re merging AGAIN?! No wonder why APink have trouble remembering their agency name! Can they focus on releasing music instead of merging every year? It’s been well over 18 months since an APink comeback 😤😤😤😤. Dont mind me. Just venting lol.
