Why I removed some of the groups on here edit
Groups that I've removed: Clazziquai Project, Epik High, Leessang, Big Mama, Buzz, Dynamic Duo, SG Wannabe, DickPunks, Eluphant, 8Eight, Mighty Mouth, and December.
I have removed the entries for the acts above because they are not by definition idol groups. They weren't formed by in-company training with the sole intent of debuting,[1][2] nor to sell an obvious image of being attractive and close to fans through any means outside music.[3][4][5] Do you really think that Epik High was founded on the idea of producing photocards for fans to keep? Those groups were only added on here because they perform K-pop -- a term that should never be conflated with the Korean idol.
In the meantime, I also plan on removing Untouchable from the list.
