The problem had to do with the ban concerning Korea and China - UNIQ was made up of both nationalities in order to appeal to both markets specifically, but that backfired when Yibo and Yixuan (the Chinese members of the group) found themselves unable to rejoin or collaborate with their Korean colleagues. If you follow Yibo’s career (there are videos on that) you will know that he was essentially left floating because all his training and his naturally reticent character meant that he had always been groomed by his talent company to be in a group. However, his talent and hardworking attitude managed to win him a co hosting spot on DayDay Up, which gave him more exposure. He then turned to acting, singing, and modeling, and - if I am not mistaken - is widely considered to be the most successful out of all five in terms of his solo career.
Yeah, Korean members found themselves unable to promote in South Korea too. But Yibo joined Day Day Up back in 2016. Uniq only halted group activities from 2018 so him joining Day Day Up wasn't because of Uniq weren't able to continue activities. From end of 2018, China government suddenly announced that Koreans aren't allowed to promote there so it affected groups that has Chinese members with Uniq as one that suffered the most. EXO's Lay also can no longer promote together with his group while people misunderstood that it was SM's decision when in actually both side are trying to preserve his career or he might ended up with none. Chinese artist were also in fear if they promote in South Korea they might be in trouble back in China. Jackson Wang of Got7 might not be affected because technically he's from Hong Kong so there might be a difference restrictions on him. Up until now the one who break through was Gdragon who also only appeared on advertisement in China(the 1st one after 2018) and has to use his Chinese name, however he never had any activities aside from that in China at all.
Yibo, Yixuan, and Wenhan are the Chinese members. Anyway, it's really unfortunate that the hallyu ban really hit them hard that they couldn't be together. They were really good too.
@@louyap can you please put not his name aside that stupid potato of xiao zhan, u r making sound like yibo thx to that dumbass got famous which is not true
@@ms.chuisin7727 There's also Seventeen's Minghao and Jun, who are still able to promote in both korea and china (as far as i am aware). though they mainly promote in korea ofc.
until today i still listen to their song everyday and still hope they will make come back. UNIQ is the group that bring me to Kpop world, i love their chaos and chaotik. and yeah i into another group but still hoping their cameback.
After X1 disbanded after 2 years due to the Produce voting manipulation scandal Seungyoon/Woodz continued as a soloist releasing 6 more albums until he had decided to not renew his contract with Yueha. He then went on to sign under Edam Entertainment, home to IU.
Missing them so much my unicorn heart. ..yibo is my bias . They trained in yg for 4 years along side winner ikon and blackpink .. that's why when they first debut you can see the yg blood in them .. comeback joseyo .🙏
the heart breaking truth as a Unicorn is that there is no chance at all to have them perform as 5 members again.. Seungyoun (woodz) already left yuehua... no idea on sungjoo though. and yibo only recontract until 2026.. Anyways always support their solo activities.. love this group much much..
Thank you for this video. I found this group after watching the Untamed series and was curious about Yibo when I found out Woodz was also in this group i looked them up. And like you my favorite song is Eoeo is my favorite song. I was wondering what happened to the group. Woodz (Cho Seung-youn) is my bias even though I found the group through Wibo.
This is one of the sad occurrence happened to the lively, full of passion and energetic plus all good looking of the young men back then. I feel sorry for them all. I also knew them through Yibo and really like the atmosphere of how they lived, worked, played all their interactions to each other. Thank you for bring this video back to us.
proud #UNICORN since debut... Yixuan as my bias...there are the group c of yg mix and match ...and now they are busy own their schedule.. they are not disbanded
if you do a search on the group they are only active 2014-2018. they may not have done an official disbandment but the members have moved on to other groups Cho Seung-youn is now a solo Korean idol under the name Woodz and many others well have moved on. Due to the political issues it will be a long while if they ever promote together as a group.
I remember seeing their debut! They were really great. I didn't recognize Yibo at first when I watched The Untamed, but when I saw him smile in the behind the scenes footage I knew immediately who he was. He's got an unforgettable smile!
Yibo is my biasssss!!! By the way, I read somwhere that UNIQ stopped all their activities due to some political issues between China and South Korea(at that time) Even if the chances of a comeback are really low... I still have some hope cause they did not disband
I know this from twtr UNIQ official Fanpage that Woodz did not renew his contract with YH. Yibo did sign new contract but I hear his Team is very independent from YH. I believe UNIQ is over now.
@@9akashi DH was not there for Yibo when he was struggling. When UNIQ had to go on hiatus she left him out in the rain. He was left to fend alone for himself. I mean, he is naturally shy and somewhat reticent and she got him a place as a possible MC in a talk show? How? Why? Did she expect him to fail anyway? And only his tenacity, hard work, talent and little bit of luck got him where he is now. Wang Han is the one who gave him an opportunity, a chance and not DH.
@@nonegativity01 I heard the same things, it's because Yibo hardworking, his attitude and his talents that hit Mr. Han eyes. Thank you to him that always gave Yibo opportunity to stand firmly by his side until he was stronger. Also, the good eye site of the casting director of the Untamed plus his own effort. He brought Lan Wangi to life under the audience's eyes. His charisma and personality is amazing to me. He is the only celebrity that I ever follow in my entire life.
No you’re absolutely right, they did train under YG and almost became a YG group. I definitely meant to say YG but blurted out JYP for some reason. Total mistake, but thanks for catching that
I got to know about them bcuz of yibo, they definitely had potentials as a grp bcuz all the members are very talented & i think grp unable to continue bcuz of hallyu ban it's such a shame what happen to this grp. But i don't think yibo will return as an idol again he kinda grew alot in china as an artist, athlete & influencial figure but biggest problem in c-ent is, it's wayy toxic than kpop. & woodz parted his ways with yuehua too so idk ever uniq member will get a reunion...but company should have atleast give a closure if they unable to continue uniq bcuz i have seen there are still people who waiting for them it's unfair for those people.
YUEHUA Founder BET a 100 million dollars On UNIQ And lost it all, Because of government sanctions. I remember there was a press conference then . In 2016 WANG YIBO was so excited to get the job at day day UP he said he finally felt okay.
What kinda stvpid act is that bet on $100M? Did she even had that much of money to begin with, she only got billions of money bcuz of yibo, why did she need to bet on newly debuted grp anws..
I think it's simple...boy bands, bands are teen groups for teens, they differently can't last long, guys need to grow up and go solo .... Wang Yibo is generally a handsome young man, incredibly talented, really unique, he has an excellent career in his homeland 💚
I feel they never broke up. Maybe they will get together whenever YH annual party happens. Of coz at the moment it’s kinda hard to get together since SJ is enlisted. I do miss them together. 😢❤ I’ve notice whenever YIxuan get together with Yibo, he still look after him. Which is sweet.
I don't understand people at all. How can you be outraged that someone has a private life and not everyone has to know about it? That's all on this topic I would also like to add that I consider it highly inappropriate to involve artists in international politics. Artists should develop in international arenas and have the full right to do so, and not any bans on cooperation, it's so pathetic.
I used to be a unicorn. This was such wasted potential 😭😭😭. I used to have hope of them reuniting but with Yuehua announcing recently that Woodz is leaving, I gave up. Iqiyi is pronounced 'aishiyi'
They were really good, it's shame about that. Well, all boy groups break up eventually. But these were not well managed, or there was too much resistance for whatever reason. They really were good! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I don’t no why Chinese government choose to do that with the idols all Korean idols can not promote themselves there but they can go to hong kong and Chinese idol can’t come back to promote in Korea i hate that i love wjsn Chinese members to 😢 also uniq also pristen 💔 also fx and much more 💔😭
Rumors was their contract ended. Only Yibo was given a contract. Why have 5 amazing guys when you can have 1 talented all rounder that can do the job of all 5. Love Yibo but I miss them all as a package. They have that Uniq vibe that can not be copied. I truly miss listening to Sung Joo's voice in all 4 languages. I have the other's down loaded.
"1 talented all rounder that can do the job of all 5" - You must be dense to insult all the other 4 members of UNIQ if you think Wang Yi Bo can replace all 5. Do not demean the other members just because your bias is YiBo. Have respect for the other 4 talented young man- Li Wen Han is performing awesomely on stage, debuted awesomely on stage, participated in musicals and appeared in Comedy sketch and participated in many sports programmes like basketball and now, tennis. He also excelled in street dancing too. YiXuan is another awesome performance who is leading in Yue Hua with his rapping and dancing and leadership skills. Kim Sung Joo has the best vocal next to Wen Han. Seung Yeung has very good rapping and dancing skills too. YiBo excels in street dancing but it does not mean he is doing the job of 5! You care not comparing like with like. Each member has his own unique talent and no one member is above the other. It's a question of opportunity and timing.
Good thing Seungyoon/Woodz left. He will get much better opportunities under IU’s company. Yueha literally keeps debuting group after group. They had a Chinese boygroup called Next but they disappeared because of Chinese gg Name and Tempest. Recently they just debuted a new Chinese boygroup, Boyhood. And with them ruining ever glow I think they should just stick to being in China.
So... you really never explained what happened to them, why they stopped although there are plenty of information about the reasons behind it and neither explained fully what are them doing right now...
Para mi Yibo nunca necesito de ese grupo el SOLO con su propio talento y esfuerzo es quien es ahora una mega estrella 👏👏👏💚💚💚💚💚ademas el siemprw sobresalio dentro del grupo y apesar de ser el menor del grupo sobresalio mucho pues a los otros no los conozco 😂😂😂😂😂😂mas parecen gemelos (asi son los coreanos todos igualitos )😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Weren't they trained at YG pre-debut? Since Yuehua was a partner/subsidiary of YG, not JYP. That's what I knew.
Yeah, I heard it was YG too, not JYP.
No you’re absolutely right, they did train under YG and almost became a YG group. I definitely meant to say YG but blurted out JYP for some reason. Total mistake, but thanks for catching that
Yibo is EVERETHING!! I think it was explained why they had to split. Even yibo mentioned on an interview...
It so sad I just found out about them today and I loved their song and now I just found out they disband seriously so sad
