What I learned from Ladies Code is that, although terrible things will happen in our lives whatever it is does NOT define our lives. We will grow stronger just like ladies of Ladies Code did.
absolutely correct and if you have to do oldest to youngest by high school graduation years it would have been like this in the original five 2010 Ashley and Rise 2011 Eunb 2012 Sojung and 2013 Zuny. Only Ashley doesn't need a translator if either ot5 or ot3 members lineups gets asked on American TV shows because she's from Queens New York
When the girls came back at a three piece they asked not to do live shows with Galaxy. I think they also chose not to do shows because of the accident.
You forgot to mention Sojung’s battle with anorexia and the fact that the accident and EunB’s death happened on Sojung’s birthday, they were on a show a few months ago were she admitted she doesn’t celebrate her birthday anymore because to this day, and probably for the rest her life, that time of the year is extremely hard to deal with.
They should celebrate her birthday, it definitely hurts because its the day their members died, but it’s also Sojung’s birthday, hope they celebrate and remember sojung deserves a good birthday
Yang Yul that was the point of the show, Ashley and Zuny wanted Sojung to look at her birthday as a happy day and for her to start celebrating it again, but Sojung confessed to them that she doesn’t think that will ever happen...
As a Lavely I can say that LC disbandment was the most peacefull disbandment I have ever seen in the 10 years that I'm into Kpop. In the sense that the fandom was just so respectful of their decision, supportive and thankful. This girls will be always in our hearts. They deserve only the best, they are amazing not only as artists, but as human beings!
except for the armys who were saying that since they disbanded bts was the only remaining 2013 group, that is. lavelys just want them to be as happy as possible and it shows. there’s also the pity stanning (ashley’s post got 25k likes on twitter alone in 24 hours while set me free sold less than 2k), which sucks, but most kpop stans as a whole are respectful towards them.
I think the reason why Lavelys were so respectful of the decision is that they were happy Sojung, Ashley, and Zuny decided to come back as Ladies' Code at all. No one would have faulted them if they'd disbanded after fulfilling Ri-Se's wish, if not sooner under the circumstances. Sadly, I only discovered them when news of the accident hit (I'd never listened to KPop before), but I've followed them since.
FYI: If you want some followup, Ashley Choi has her own TH-cam channel and now has podcast with BM from KARD and Peniel from BTOB. Apparently she never recieved a paycheck from her time with Ladies' Code. She did say that the label provided them really well with accommodations and food, but still. Never recieved a cent...
It's often the case until the idols are very well established in the industry they don't get paid or get paid very very little. Even the one that you see with lavish clothes on TV and MV if they're just debuting or they're not that established yet it's 100% certain that they're not paid. That's why the company provide food and shelter etc... And that's also why most of the richest idols are either coming from money or they developed others activités quite well like they're long time producer/they have their own labels, advertisement etc and are well established (10 years + career)
I think it sad but reality rookie group or not are from small company didn't receive paycheck unless some of them doing individual activities or group takes multiple win.
It’s because I heard that spent more than 30 million wons per trainee although it looks like they’re just existing especially in the bigger company they spent more. That’s why they can’t leave the company until the contract is up. Then when you debut more money is invested on you and you have to work without a cents to pay it all off. Although you appear in more activities if you can’t pay the company back there’s also no use cause you’re bond by contracts.
As a lavely and as someone who's ultimate group is Ladies Code i can say that the pain will never be forgotten, and i could not stop to start crying by the middle part of ur video, i loved this, since it gets more people to know them. Thank u for taking ur time to know this awesome group of ladies who just need love and support and being happy. ❤
I hope you're ok now dear they're in a good place now they're now angels! Let's smile and just enjoy the moment! Im sure they doesn't want you to be sad and the fans!
1 year in prison for two innocent girls deaths?unbelievable.............my heart breaks not knowing this group. I only knew Ashley because of video with Edward Avila btw her song is still one I always go back to you guys should listen to it 😔👍❤️
to be fair, it was involuntary manslaughter. there was no plan to kill them; it was a horrible accident. i doubt he would have even gotten prison time if they weren’t idols.
I remember being a fan of Ladies Code since debut. EunB was my bias and her personality was very bright, but her singing voice was so rich and colorful as well. I was working at Burger King and was sent on break. While on my 15 minute break I pulled up the news and saw that Ladies Code was in the crash and that EunB was no longer with us... I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I hope the Ladies Code members have been able to move forward, although I remember from a show they went on in the past year or two, that Sojung still had a very heavy heart over this. I'm hoping the ladies have strong, positive life experiences moving forward.
The accident happened during Sojung's birthday and right before the accident, everyone greeted her a happy birthday and even had a cake made of choco pies. As they were on a diet at that time, none of the members ate it and headed to the next event and the accident happened. Sojung herself claimed that she lost consciousness, while the other two surviving members, Zuny and Ashley witnessed everything. Sojung even said that she can't celebrate her birthday as it was the day when the accident happened and also, EunB's death. Sojung confessed that she can't do anything between September 3 to September 7. Ashley has a tattoo of angel wings with the roman numerals, IX.III.VII.MMXIV (9.3.7.2014) on her back as a memory of EunB and RiSe.
Ladies code well never be forgotten They will always be in our hearts I cant imagine how hard it must have been but they showed that anything is possible and remained together
Same and the fact most people only know them as "the GG who got into a car accident in 2014", you'd think the general public knew them for who they are and not for solely a car accident
It kinda sucks that the public seem to only mention them when it's about the accident their last two comebacks were so good and were like miny thank you to the fans. Polaris have never been the best at promoting but they seem to be getting better at it with Loona. I'm so excited and proud to see what Zuny, SoJung and Ashley will do outside of the group seeing as they all have individual talents and as they are still a group. These girls have had such an impact on my life through their music and bright bubbly personalities. They were the first group I truly stanned and I even bought my first physical k-pop albums being Kiss Kiss and Code #02 Pretty Pretty. Now that they have disbanded hopefully people will see just how underrated they were/are and bring light to how amazing these 5 girls are and were. Rise and EunB left such an impact in the industry in such a short time for their personalities, voices, beautiful smiles and faces. Ladies Code deserved not only better from Polaris but from the public they claimed to support them when it was about the accident but were silent when music came out
@@choerry6462 Officially they have disbanded under Polaris but Zuny, SoJung and Ashley have said they are still Ladies' Code but they are focusing on Solo projects similar to SNSD in a way where they are all separate but still are together
You know, I was just talking with some friends this week about how Ladie's Code got me into K-pop. I was a total douchebag that disrespected Kpop, for me it was literally trash. But suddenly, in 2014 with the accident, my facebook was fully load of images about the event and, yeah, that one video that you put in 4:18, that one person moving Eunb's Banana Plush, that shit hit me so hard... I don't know why, seeing Eunb alive hugging that plush, and then seeing the plush right there in the ground and knowing that she wasn't there anymore... I just bursted into tears and simply couldn't stop. After recovering myself from the tears i went so search more and more about Ladie's Code, and, yeah, i was in love ... Till this day i'm a huge fan of Ladie's Code, i cryied days and nights with the release of both Myst3ry and Strang3r and still cry to this day. I'm very thankful for what Ladie's Code was in my life, making me a better person, a person who respect everything and everyone. I saw how rude i was with my friends, at that time, who listened to kpop and apoligized myself to all of them. I'll always support the girls and i hope you guys support too... Thank you for everything, Ladie's Code and Lavelys.
Thank you :< After I heard it I was so sad about to cry. Every time I hear ladies code I would remember what happen it broke my heart. Eunb was so young so sweet an amazing person and seeing her die was so sad. Thank ladies code for making you notice not to disrespect others they change alot off ppl. Kpop can change lives just remember about the lives we lost in kpop that there names are always remembered
This shows that some Managers only cared more for money than their idols health Had the driver not driven the car at such rapid pace, the accident may have not happened
Unfortunately, I don't think we should blame the manager. It's not that he didn't care. His life was at risk too. It's cultural. Music shows are very close to each other, and they need to rush to get there on time and still do all the make up and rehearsals. That's very important for their careers. I bet the girls wanted to get there on time too, and the manager would have probably been reprimanded by the CEO if they were often late, probably fired. What needs to change is the idols schedules. They are ridiculous. I actually pity the driver. He probably feels at fault for their lives, when it's the industry that needs to be more considerate for the workers. Anyway, he probably learnt the lesson. Being careful and prevent is very important.
Kpop culture is intense. Not just for the idols but for their mangers. They are all sleep deprived and under paid. Plus I don’t think korea is big on seatbelts. They don’t have a habit to wear one.
Also, they weren’t getting to an schedule where they would make money. They were rushing because they a) were tired and, the saddest prt, b) it was Sojung’s birthday and they had a celebration waiting for her.
@@jesskhan09 If Koreans have a habit of not wearing seatbelts then why was BLACKPINK’s Kill This Love MV banned in South Korea just because Rosé wasn’t wearing her seatbelt in one scene lol it makes no sense.
Ladies code is the strongest group I know, they went through so much yet still standing strong, their music before the accident and even after is soo good, unfourtanatley what happened happened. I love them so much❤ I hope they keep staying strong❤❤
When Galaxy was released they made a statement they would not do live shows. This happened with their other releases as a 3 piece and not just down to Polaris. They stepped away from the format that caused the accident and did not do the idol shows. I honestly can sympathise with them after what happened and the choice they made.
I remember when this happened I was actually just really getting into ladies code and then this happened and I just cried because I felt like they were so good. Honestly love Ashley and her voice so much. I hope what happened to them stays in the minds of everyone in kpop because they're have even been recent stories of members from group's talking about managers reckless driving. Ladies code had always deserved more love, they are more then that accident. May Eunbi and RiSe rest in peace.
Thank you for making this. Ladies' Code are one of my ults. Along with Loona. I am so proud of Ashley, SoJung & Zuny. They're so strong and talented. I just wish they were able to find the success they deserved. But all that matters now is that they're happy. I feel like they are. I hope so. Thank you Ashley, RiSe, EunB, SoJung & Zuny. 💞
Earlier last year, Loona was the first K-pop group I ever got into. When I found out that Ladies Code was their "cousin" group, I fell head over heels for their group and got super invested. They're in my top five girl groups. I'm so sad I didn't get to spend a lot of time with them. Their history is so devastated and I just wanted to see them succeed. Everyone is right. They deserved so much better.
I was just getting into Ladie's Code in 2019 and read about everything they went through and I appreciated them so much...only to find out on Ashley's youtube channel yesterday that their contracts were terminated :( it's really disappointing and I agree they did deserve better
I remember crying for weeks after their accident... I wasn’t necessarily a stan, but I remember loving their concepts and I had their MVs in my watch later lists. It broke my heart when I heard the news. In the present, I’m a huge fan of Ashley and I really look forward to her future projects. She’s so strong and such a beautiful person
I started crying when he showed them at the memorial concert. I found Ashely through Hwaiting and thought she was adorable so I did research on Ladies code and heard about the accident. I'm so glad that they bounced back after such a tragic event
a song of theirs started playing on my spotify and it was so good that i was surprised i have never heard about them before. i was introduced to kpop in 2017 so I'm relatively new, i guess i missed that whole tragic year... the first thing that popped up when i typed in ladies code is this video and it was very informative and useful. thank you for making it!
I randomly discovered their song set me free and fell in love with their style. I was so sad when I saw the first thing to pop up about them during a search was this tragic past I didn't know. These girls are strong and carried on to make amazing music. I hope their solos go well:).
Their debut was one of my favorites from that year. Like the talent, the mv, the vocals, the girls themselves. I really do miss them. May Rise and EunB continue to rest in peace.
Thank you so much for talking about these groups ! I feel like you really help some new kpop fans discover other groups less mainstream or well-known, thanks for your videos !!
I can feel your love for K-pop in every video. Please never stop making content. I know you will hit 1 million sooner than you think because you are genuine and loved by so many.
Thanks for making me cry when I’m doing homework- Anyway I gotta check them out. I wasn’t a kpop fan back in 2014 but that just... hit me. Really hard. I hope all their fans are doing okay.
I was watching other videos about this and there was someone in the comments that said, "Love your idols as much as you can because I already lost mine." I immediately teared up. Love your idols guys. Time is precious.
I found The Rain in 2016 and haven’t stopped listening since. That song is classy, beautiful, soulful, just purely amazing. That is the most underrated song in kpop, period.
One of the most underrated Kpop girl groups besides Spica in my opinion. Not to hate on popular bands, but the talent in those groups is so much more vibrant.
I have mad respect for their fandom and the company. The company truly put effort in remembering the 2 girls and pushed forward. The fandom also worked hard to get the song up to charts. Though the company could’ve promoted them more. I’m proud of the 3 other members for staying strong and still bringing music into the world. They truly are a special group. So talented and strong. It is truly a tragic accident. Rest In Peace EunB and Rise. Aside from that, the music itself is so good too. I wish they blew up bigger and had more international fame. Regardless, Ladies Code is amazing
I remember when I bumped into Kiss Kiss. I was hooked on that song, I didn't even know what Kpop was nor that what I was listening to was my introduction to the world of Kpop. The song was amazing, but when I heard the news it also made me sad. Several months later I went back to it and listened to all of their music, I loved and appreciated every single song they ever made. Ladies Code truly deserved better
Their label frustrated me so much especially towards the end of their time with Polaris. After The Rain comeback us fans had to wait almost 2 years for another comeback and that was just a Christmas song. I think for sure after the rain they could’ve gone on different shows like idol room or after school club and not just promoted current music but their older releases as well. It just felt like so many missed opportunities. But thank you ladies code we love u.
The lack of new releases might've had something to do with the fact that the remaining 3 members were focusing on their mental health, rather than putting out music every other season, which seems to be the custom in kpop Also, they stopped live performances starting with their Galaxy era because that kind of work regime was the cause of the car accident Honestly, I don't think it actually bothered most fans and (as a Lavely myself) I think everyone understood the circumstances and rooted for the recovery of the group
Haru Haru I can understand that too but to a certain extent. I really don’t agree with that because they did comeback stages for Feedback and I think their last comeback song. And we’ve also seen videos of them either at the studio just rehearsing dance moves and in their own personal time traveling to do different music shows/radio programs. I think their label could’ve have for sure done more for them. Especially after the accident moving forward I think there would always be that level of “let’s be safe” because I’m all for them recovering but I want them to be out there doing new music too. And I don’t think they just want to be left at home “recovering” for years and years.
@@shadowblade4142 well in case if you never saw Ashley did say that they had a album after The Rain that was completely finished but their producer at the time left and they had to do an entirely different album. So yeah my point still stands 🙃
These girls will always have a special place in my heart and I hope all the best for them really. They are such precious gifts in kpop! Galaxy and rain will remain superior and their older songs will always be in my playlists, especially 'so wonderful'. I'm so sad it's the end of the story :(
i always love ashley from the first time i heard her on the arirang radio back in 2016, it feels like she has such a brave charisma and full of humour. so i started to search more about her one day and found such a tragic back story of LC in the past, and yes I also didn’t know about it at all. But as things has moving on, Ashley is now a dj host on arirang and dive, sojung and zuny also move on with their own career, all i can say is thank you for keep going, keep moving forward and keep laughing even at the hardest time of you guys lives. all my support and love or Ashley, Sojung and Zuny. LC
I'm not a stan, but I'm crying. I've been looking deeper into KPop only last year. I only came across Ladies Code months ago. I can still feel the surviving members' pain. I don't think that would ever completely go away. But I can also feel that they've embraced it, and used that pain to be stronger.
They were one of my favorite groups, the accident broke my heart and then when they came back the girls seemed so sad. Whatever they do in the future I hope they are happy ❤
Thank you so much for talking about them ❤️. I personally love their music and the song ‘the rain’ has been my favourite song for years. It’s a really heart breaking story...
Thank you so much for talking about Ladies Code and bringing positive attention to them. I found myself crying towards the end because I'm so proud of them and happy that someone's giving them proper attention and not focusing on the negative. Even if the pain I felt the day of the accident will never subside, their wish was to not be the group only remembered for having tragically lost members and I hope that is how you all will treat them. I remember crying for weeks after what happened, crying with the girls after their first showcase of Galaxy and during the MV as I looked at all the symbolism(which there is so much more of, please watch the MV and analysis videos), crying during The Rain, absolutely *weeping* during the one flashback scene in Feedback because I wasn't expecting it and when it happened it was just *instant*, and just being so happy and proud of them during Set Me Free. Feedback and Set Me Free made me feel so much pride in this group and as a Lavely, they will *always* be OT5, even if RiSe and EunB aren't there physically. We know they're watching over our girls. Most of this probably feels rambly and repetitive but I'm still wiping the tears off my face, so it's understandable, right? Anyway, please show Ladies Code some love!
i’m shocked. i listen to ashley from a dive podcast and she’s really fun and enjoyable. i would’ve have never thought that she went through ALL of that. 😭😭
I appreciate that this was pretty respectfully done. I do think the "2014 was the worst year of kpop" part was unnecessary; their accident does not compare to members leaving groups. Also EunB and Rise's parents expressed wishes to not have people spread photos and videos of their funerals, and it could've done without videos of the wreckage. Members of LC might find this video and I doubt they'd want to see that again (Ashley is notorious for lurking around). And also there are some mistakes: -Zuny's name is pronounced like "joo-ni", not "zoo-ni" 1:18 -their second mini album is "CODE #02 Pretty Pretty", not just "pretty" 2:29 -it's "Sojung", not "Soojung" 2:42 -it sounds like you started saying "Riae" instead of "Rise", which is actually her sister's name 5:255:435:48 also you should credit fancams in the description (the memorial concert fancam is by Lv Lc on TH-cam)
literally so many people consider 2014 as kpops worst year. 8 idols passed & there was many scandals happening. no one cares about what you think. how can you compare someones death to idols leaving groups?
Thank you so much for making this video 💖 I'm a Lavely for a year now and I'm so sad I didn't got into them earlier... but I hope maybe this video will open some people's eyes and give them the chance they deserved so much and maybe then we could see them as a group together again... 💖💖💖
seeing people actually talk/make videos about them is still so shocking to me cause it‘s crazy how underrated they are....i‘ll miss them being together as a group...
Wait he severely injured all the members that resulted in 2 of the members losing their lives and he gets 1 year. Wow here that's called murder. Although i do get it was truly an accident and raining, that didn't help, but still that hurts. Sad story
So thankful I still got to see them live with their Kiss promotions just 3 weeks before the accident happened :(( I miss them a lot they will always be of my favorite groups 💕life is just unfair
Also, Ashley and Zuny were both awake at the scene and most likely have crazy scarring from seeing RiSe and EunB, with EunB being DOA. Sojung also suffered with anorexia, but after the accident and counseling it seems she hasn’t struggled much with it since then 🤍 I feel terrible that Sojungs birthday that year held EunBs death and Sojung was getting reconstructive jaw surgery, but I’m so happy the other 3 are doing well now 🤞🏻
What I learned from Ladies Code is that, although terrible things will happen in our lives whatever it is does NOT define our lives. We will grow stronger just like ladies of Ladies Code did.
I am now been heartbroken twice now
absolutely correct and if you have to do oldest to youngest by high school graduation years it would have been like this in the original five 2010 Ashley and Rise 2011 Eunb 2012 Sojung and 2013 Zuny.

omgg hwaiting right? i didn’t know that was ladies codes’ ashley
@@seahyoon1365 I just watched Hwaiting today. Ashley introduces herself as Ashley from Ladie's code on there. That's how I ended up on this video
I think it sad but reality rookie group or not are from small company didn't receive paycheck unless some of them doing individual activities or group takes multiple win.
It’s because I heard that spent more than 30 million wons per trainee although it looks like they’re just existing especially in the bigger company they spent more. That’s why they can’t leave the company until the contract is up. Then when you debut more money is invested on you and you have to work without a cents to pay it all off. Although you appear in more activities if you can’t pay the company back there’s also no use cause you’re bond by contracts.

to be fair, it was involuntary manslaughter. there was no plan to kill them; it was a horrible accident. i doubt he would have even gotten prison time if they weren’t idols.
I remember being a fan of Ladies Code since debut. EunB was my bias and her personality was very bright, but her singing voice was so rich and colorful as well.
I was working at Burger King and was sent on break. While on my 15 minute break I pulled up the news and saw that Ladies Code was in the crash and that EunB was no longer with us... I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
I hope the Ladies Code members have been able to move forward, although I remember from a show they went on in the past year or two, that Sojung still had a very heavy heart over this. I'm hoping the ladies have strong, positive life experiences moving forward.
it was actually very recent, the show came out a few months ago...
Sojung probably has it the hardest because it happened on her birthday.
Exo-lKookie and she was battling anorexia so that was really her tipping point
So weird, for me when I watching kiss kiss and after that I refresh timeline in twitter that's the news.
It makes me so happy that both EunB and Rise each had a dream fulfilled.
The accident happened during Sojung's birthday and right before the accident, everyone greeted her a happy birthday and even had a cake made of choco pies. As they were on a diet at that time, none of the members ate it and headed to the next event and the accident happened. Sojung herself claimed that she lost consciousness, while the other two surviving members, Zuny and Ashley witnessed everything.
Sojung even said that she can't celebrate her birthday as it was the day when the accident happened and also, EunB's death. Sojung confessed that she can't do anything between September 3 to September 7.
Ashley has a tattoo of angel wings with the roman numerals, IX.III.VII.MMXIV (9.3.7.2014) on her back as a memory of EunB and RiSe.
Ladies code well never be forgotten
They will always be in our hearts
I cant imagine how hard it must have been but they showed that anything is possible and remained together
When I heard about their story, I felt heartbroken 💔
Same and the fact most people only know them as "the GG who got into a car accident in 2014", you'd think the general public knew them for who they are and not for solely a car accident
I remember I had to tell my little sister about how her bias passed (EunB) She was so sad. Rest in peace to Rise and EunB
I remember watching Ashley do dance covers on TH-cam and then she went MIA on TH-cam. Then boom...she debuted in ladies code.
Dang you were early early
Same here as well.
Ashley still has those videos intact just unlisted from public viewings.

It kinda sucks that the public seem to only mention them when it's about the accident their last two comebacks were so good and were like miny thank you to the fans. Polaris have never been the best at promoting but they seem to be getting better at it with Loona. I'm so excited and proud to see what Zuny, SoJung and Ashley will do outside of the group seeing as they all have individual talents and as they are still a group. These girls have had such an impact on my life through their music and bright bubbly personalities. They were the first group I truly stanned and I even bought my first physical k-pop albums being Kiss Kiss and Code #02 Pretty Pretty. Now that they have disbanded hopefully people will see just how underrated they were/are and bring light to how amazing these 5 girls are and were. Rise and EunB left such an impact in the industry in such a short time for their personalities, voices, beautiful smiles and faces. Ladies Code deserved not only better from Polaris but from the public they claimed to support them when it was about the accident but were silent when music came out
@@choerry6462 Officially they have disbanded under Polaris but Zuny, SoJung and Ashley have said they are still Ladies' Code but they are focusing on Solo projects similar to SNSD in a way where they are all separate but still are together
You know, I was just talking with some friends this week about how Ladie's Code got me into K-pop. I was a total douchebag that disrespected Kpop, for me it was literally trash.
But suddenly, in 2014 with the accident, my facebook was fully load of images about the event and, yeah, that one video that you put in 4:18, that one person moving Eunb's Banana Plush, that shit hit me so hard... I don't know why, seeing Eunb alive hugging that plush, and then seeing the plush right there in the ground and knowing that she wasn't there anymore... I just bursted into tears and simply couldn't stop.
After recovering myself from the tears i went so search more and more about Ladie's Code, and, yeah, i was in love ... Till this day i'm a huge fan of Ladie's Code, i cryied days and nights with the release of both Myst3ry and Strang3r and still cry to this day.
I'm very thankful for what Ladie's Code was in my life, making me a better person, a person who respect everything and everyone. I saw how rude i was with my friends, at that time, who listened to kpop and apoligized myself to all of them.
I'll always support the girls and i hope you guys support too...
Thank you for everything, Ladie's Code and Lavelys.
Thank you :<
After I heard it I was so sad about to cry.
Every time I hear ladies code I would remember what happen it broke my heart.
Eunb was so young so sweet an amazing person and seeing her die was so sad.
Thank ladies code for making you notice not to disrespect others they change alot off ppl.
Kpop can change lives just remember about the lives we lost in kpop that there names are always remembered
This shows that some Managers only cared more for money than their idols health
Had the driver not driven the car at such rapid pace, the accident may have not happened
Unfortunately, I don't think we should blame the manager. It's not that he didn't care. His life was at risk too. It's cultural. Music shows are very close to each other, and they need to rush to get there on time and still do all the make up and rehearsals. That's very important for their careers. I bet the girls wanted to get there on time too, and the manager would have probably been reprimanded by the CEO if they were often late, probably fired.
What needs to change is the idols schedules. They are ridiculous. I actually pity the driver. He probably feels at fault for their lives, when it's the industry that needs to be more considerate for the workers. Anyway, he probably learnt the lesson. Being careful and prevent is very important.
Kpop culture is intense. Not just for the idols but for their mangers. They are all sleep deprived and under paid. Plus I don’t think korea is big on seatbelts. They don’t have a habit to wear one.
Also, they weren’t getting to an schedule where they would make money. They were rushing because they a) were tired and, the saddest prt, b) it was Sojung’s birthday and they had a celebration waiting for her.
@@jesskhan09 If Koreans have a habit of not wearing seatbelts then why was BLACKPINK’s Kill This Love MV banned in South Korea just because Rosé wasn’t wearing her seatbelt in one scene lol it makes no sense.
@@SaloniBaloney_25 because it was after the accident that made national news boosting the practice of car safety.... gworl it's common sense
Ladies code is the strongest group I know, they went through so much yet still standing strong, their music before the accident and even after is soo good, unfourtanatley what happened happened. I love them so much❤ I hope they keep staying strong❤❤
R.I.P our angels,
Rise, and EunB
I'm crying.. I forgot how much I loved them. the accident always gets me
Rise and EunB are with us forever. We love you 💕
When Galaxy was released they made a statement they would not do live shows. This happened with their other releases as a 3 piece and not just down to Polaris. They stepped away from the format that caused the accident and did not do the idol shows. I honestly can sympathise with them after what happened and the choice they made.
i will never quit loving this group. they mean so much to me. galaxy is honestly one of the best KPOP songs of all time.
Ladies Code were the first group I followed from debut
It breaks me that their last two released went completely unnoticed by the public :(
i’m so glad you did this, they’ve been my ultimate group since i got into kpop in 2017. they deserve the world :(
I remember when this happened I was actually just really getting into ladies code and then this happened and I just cried because I felt like they were so good. Honestly love Ashley and her voice so much. I hope what happened to them stays in the minds of everyone in kpop because they're have even been recent stories of members from group's talking about managers reckless driving. Ladies code had always deserved more love, they are more then that accident. May Eunbi and RiSe rest in peace.
I feel awful for all of them. Especially Sojung. She can't even celebrate her birthday.
Thank you for making this. Ladies' Code are one of my ults. Along with Loona. I am so proud of Ashley, SoJung & Zuny. They're so strong and talented. I just wish they were able to find the success they deserved. But all that matters now is that they're happy. I feel like they are. I hope so. Thank you Ashley, RiSe, EunB, SoJung & Zuny. 💞
Lavelys will still support 🥺
💜💜
Earlier last year, Loona was the first K-pop group I ever got into. When I found out that Ladies Code was their "cousin" group, I fell head over heels for their group and got super invested. They're in my top five girl groups. I'm so sad I didn't get to spend a lot of time with them. Their history is so devastated and I just wanted to see them succeed. Everyone is right. They deserved so much better.
The first k-pop group I ever stanned... miss ot5 forever in my heart
I was just getting into Ladie's Code in 2019 and read about everything they went through and I appreciated them so much...only to find out on Ashley's youtube channel yesterday that their contracts were terminated :( it's really disappointing and I agree they did deserve better
I remember crying for weeks after their accident... I wasn’t necessarily a stan, but I remember loving their concepts and I had their MVs in my watch later lists. It broke my heart when I heard the news. In the present, I’m a huge fan of Ashley and I really look forward to her future projects. She’s so strong and such a beautiful person
I started crying when he showed them at the memorial concert. I found Ashely through Hwaiting and thought she was adorable so I did research on Ladies code and heard about the accident. I'm so glad that they bounced back after such a tragic event
Ladies Code is the strongest girl group ever 💞
Hopefully they get the recognition that they deserve one day. Another group that is not disbanded officially, just on hiatus
a song of theirs started playing on my spotify and it was so good that i was surprised i have never heard about them before. i was introduced to kpop in 2017 so I'm relatively new, i guess i missed that whole tragic year... the first thing that popped up when i typed in ladies code is this video and it was very informative and useful. thank you for making it!
I randomly discovered their song set me free and fell in love with their style. I was so sad when I saw the first thing to pop up about them during a search was this tragic past I didn't know. These girls are strong and carried on to make amazing music. I hope their solos go well:).
I've been waiting so long for this video from you, thanks. I hope they come back as 3 again someday.
#LadiesCodeForeverInOurHearts
Their debut was one of my favorites from that year. Like the talent, the mv, the vocals, the girls themselves. I really do miss them. May Rise and EunB continue to rest in peace.
It’s the most sadest thing ever
You finally did this video THANK YOUUU!
Thank you so much for talking about these groups ! I feel like you really help some new kpop fans discover other groups less mainstream or well-known, thanks for your videos !!
*if ladies code was still here, they would have covered all the kpop concepts*
I can feel your love for K-pop in every video. Please never stop making content. I know you will hit 1 million sooner than you think because you are genuine and loved by so many.
Thanks for making me cry when I’m doing homework-
Anyway I gotta check them out. I wasn’t a kpop fan back in 2014 but that just... hit me. Really hard. I hope all their fans are doing okay.
I was watching other videos about this and there was someone in the comments that said, "Love your idols as much as you can because I already lost mine." I immediately teared up. Love your idols guys. Time is precious.
Thank you so much for covering Ladies Code, as a huge Ladies Code fan I can asure you that you did an amazing job (as always) with the video! 😊
Ughhhhh LADIES CODE SLAYEEDDDDDD! Legit this video makes me tear up! Thank you so much for the upload!
What happened to them is so sad 💔😭 May Eunbi and Rise rest in peace 💜
I found The Rain in 2016 and haven’t stopped listening since. That song is classy, beautiful, soulful, just purely amazing. That is the most underrated song in kpop, period.
One of the most underrated Kpop girl groups besides Spica in my opinion. Not to hate on popular bands, but the talent in those groups is so much more vibrant.
Could you make a "what happened to SPICA" video.
Also a underrated talented who deserved so much more love then they actually received!
I never thought someone else would know SPICA! I honestly love them so much.
every time I hear or read about their story I just start to cry, I wish the remaining members have a happy and successful life.
I'm emotional now they were one of my first girl groups I ever listened to when I became a fan in 2017
I've cried so often about the accident, but when i saw the video where the woman turned the stuffed banana from eunbi around.. i lost it again...
NOO OMG. I LISTENED TO THEM WHEN I WAS A CHILD. I NEVER KNEW SOME OF THEM HAD A ACCIDENT. OMG...
Ashley Choi - our local Kumon teacher
I have mad respect for their fandom and the company. The company truly put effort in remembering the 2 girls and pushed forward. The fandom also worked hard to get the song up to charts. Though the company could’ve promoted them more.
I’m proud of the 3 other members for staying strong and still bringing music into the world.
They truly are a special group. So talented and strong. It is truly a tragic accident. Rest In Peace EunB and Rise.
Aside from that, the music itself is so good too. I wish they blew up bigger and had more international fame. Regardless, Ladies Code is amazing
I remember when I bumped into Kiss Kiss.
I was hooked on that song, I didn't even know what Kpop was nor that what I was listening to was my introduction to the world of Kpop.
The song was amazing, but when I heard the news it also made me sad.
Several months later I went back to it and listened to all of their music, I loved and appreciated every single song they ever made.
Ladies Code truly deserved better
Nicely done Nathan! I loved Ladies Code from day 1. Always wished I could have seen them live! So talented!
I miss these girls too much 😭😭😭
and So Wonderful is such a beautiful song and this all made me cry I-
Their label frustrated me so much especially towards the end of their time with Polaris. After The Rain comeback us fans had to wait almost 2 years for another comeback and that was just a Christmas song. I think for sure after the rain they could’ve gone on different shows like idol room or after school club and not just promoted current music but their older releases as well. It just felt like so many missed opportunities. But thank you ladies code we love u.
The lack of new releases might've had something to do with the fact that the remaining 3 members were focusing on their mental health, rather than putting out music every other season, which seems to be the custom in kpop
Also, they stopped live performances starting with their Galaxy era because that kind of work regime was the cause of the car accident
Honestly, I don't think it actually bothered most fans and (as a Lavely myself) I think everyone understood the circumstances and rooted for the recovery of the group
Haru Haru I can understand that too but to a certain extent. I really don’t agree with that because they did comeback stages for Feedback and I think their last comeback song. And we’ve also seen videos of them either at the studio just rehearsing dance moves and in their own personal time traveling to do different music shows/radio programs. I think their label could’ve have for sure done more for them. Especially after the accident moving forward I think there would always be that level of “let’s be safe” because I’m all for them recovering but I want them to be out there doing new music too. And I don’t think they just want to be left at home “recovering” for years and years.
Then don't agree lol
@@shadowblade4142 well in case if you never saw Ashley did say that they had a album after The Rain that was completely finished but their producer at the time left and they had to do an entirely different album. So yeah my point still stands 🙃
i've never heard of this group but my heart hurt so much when the sad part came up and i started crying ):
They have so much good music and soooo underrated which demonstrates how a company has a role.
These girls will always have a special place in my heart and I hope all the best for them really. They are such precious gifts in kpop! Galaxy and rain will remain superior and their older songs will always be in my playlists, especially 'so wonderful'. I'm so sad it's the end of the story :(
i always love ashley from the first time i heard her on the arirang radio back in 2016, it feels like she has such a brave charisma and full of humour. so i started to search more about her one day and found such a tragic back story of LC in the past, and yes I also didn’t know about it at all. But as things has moving on, Ashley is now a dj host on arirang and dive, sojung and zuny also move on with their own career, all i can say is thank you for keep going, keep moving forward and keep laughing even at the hardest time of you guys lives. all my support and love or Ashley, Sojung and Zuny. LC
I'm not a stan, but I'm crying. I've been looking deeper into KPop only last year. I only came across Ladies Code months ago. I can still feel the surviving members' pain. I don't think that would ever completely go away. But I can also feel that they've embraced it, and used that pain to be stronger.
this girls and their group deserve better. They're so talented and strong, I'm so proud of them
I got goosebumps, may those soul rest in peace 😭
They were one of my favorite groups, the accident broke my heart and then when they came back the girls seemed so sad. Whatever they do in the future I hope they are happy ❤
this story makes me so sad... i was in love with them from the first time i heard them. so much talent in one group. we love you ladies code
Came here because of Dive studios. Glad I did. Stay strong to the remaining members of Ladies Code.
It was my first day of high school when this happened and now im in the fourth semester of college... i can never forget my beautiful girls :(
ladies code were one of my ults. when i saw the announcement i almost cried and so did my twt gc 😪
Oh my god, so ashley in that dive studios previously was a member of ladies code?? Geez this story is so sad😞
Thank you so much for talking about them ❤️. I personally love their music and the song ‘the rain’ has been my favourite song for years. It’s a really heart breaking story...
If you see this watch Ladies' Codes MVs if you really wanna see their talent also stan them and support all the members individual activities!!
Thank you so much for talking about Ladies Code and bringing positive attention to them. I found myself crying towards the end because I'm so proud of them and happy that someone's giving them proper attention and not focusing on the negative. Even if the pain I felt the day of the accident will never subside, their wish was to not be the group only remembered for having tragically lost members and I hope that is how you all will treat them.
I remember crying for weeks after what happened, crying with the girls after their first showcase of Galaxy and during the MV as I looked at all the symbolism(which there is so much more of, please watch the MV and analysis videos), crying during The Rain, absolutely *weeping* during the one flashback scene in Feedback because I wasn't expecting it and when it happened it was just *instant*, and just being so happy and proud of them during Set Me Free. Feedback and Set Me Free made me feel so much pride in this group and as a Lavely, they will *always* be OT5, even if RiSe and EunB aren't there physically. We know they're watching over our girls.
Most of this probably feels rambly and repetitive but I'm still wiping the tears off my face, so it's understandable, right? Anyway, please show Ladies Code some love!
i’m shocked. i listen to ashley from a dive podcast and she’s really fun and enjoyable. i would’ve have never thought that she went through ALL of that. 😭😭
man i rlly love your channel
as a newer kpop stan youve helped me learn abt all the og groups
thanks for these videos!
Galaxy and The Rain are so good, one of the songs that got me into kpop
Discovered your channel yesterday and been binging your "what happened" videos. Love these.
I appreciate that this was pretty respectfully done. I do think the "2014 was the worst year of kpop" part was unnecessary; their accident does not compare to members leaving groups. Also EunB and Rise's parents expressed wishes to not have people spread photos and videos of their funerals, and it could've done without videos of the wreckage. Members of LC might find this video and I doubt they'd want to see that again (Ashley is notorious for lurking around). And also there are some mistakes:
-Zuny's name is pronounced like "joo-ni", not "zoo-ni" 1:18
-their second mini album is "CODE #02 Pretty Pretty", not just "pretty" 2:29
-it's "Sojung", not "Soojung" 2:42
-it sounds like you started saying "Riae" instead of "Rise", which is actually her sister's name 5:25 5:43 5:48
also you should credit fancams in the description (the memorial concert fancam is by Lv Lc on TH-cam)
Damn chill
@@yaniragonzalez9305 if he's gonna make an informational video, the info should be correct ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dadaxla Has no chill lolol
Thank you 😊 ☺️
literally so many people consider 2014 as kpops worst year. 8 idols passed & there was many scandals happening. no one cares about what you think. how can you compare someones death to idols leaving groups?
Thank you so much for making this video 💖 I'm a Lavely for a year now and I'm so sad I didn't got into them earlier... but I hope maybe this video will open some people's eyes and give them the chance they deserved so much and maybe then we could see them as a group together again... 💖💖💖
Eclipse and hate you are timeless songs, and I will always remember ladies code! OT5 😞
seeing people actually talk/make videos about them is still so shocking to me cause it‘s crazy how underrated they are....i‘ll miss them being together as a group...
Wait he severely injured all the members that resulted in 2 of the members losing their lives and he gets 1 year. Wow here that's called murder. Although i do get it was truly an accident and raining, that didn't help, but still that hurts. Sad story
May they rest in peace
The trio continued the legacy
And the dream of their fellow members. We need more people liek this. I love them sooo much :
They're always my ultimate kpop group. Like no matter what. They have no bad songs. They're amazing.
I'm crying so hard.... i know them since 2016 and my heart breaks everytime i remember them. Pure angels
The breakdown I had when I heard about the tragic news... 💔... I still cried everytime i listened to their song 💔
So thankful I still got to see them live with their Kiss promotions just 3 weeks before the accident happened :(( I miss them a lot they will always be of my favorite groups 💕life is just unfair
LC is one of my favorite group, i mean set me free is soooooo goodddd! One of my favorite song! And RiSe is my bias 😔
Thank you for doing this, I'm a fan of ladies code.
Also, Ashley and Zuny were both awake at the scene and most likely have crazy scarring from seeing RiSe and EunB, with EunB being DOA. Sojung also suffered with anorexia, but after the accident and counseling it seems she hasn’t struggled much with it since then 🤍 I feel terrible that Sojungs birthday that year held EunBs death and Sojung was getting reconstructive jaw surgery, but I’m so happy the other 3 are doing well now 🤞🏻
thank you so much for doing this videos , they deserve all the love ❤️
I didn’t know them but now im falling in love with them and their music😍😅
I had absolutely no clue that this group existed but holy cow I am crying my eyes out, absolutely no one deserves to go through this :(
