Chinese idol group, Nine Percent, debuted last April through season one of the survival reality competition, “Idol Producer.” iQiyi announced they were preparing season two of the show to debut later this month. This angered many fans as they felt Nine Percent were being neglected and not promoted properly. With season two of the show about to air soon, there are now rumors circulating among netizens that Nine Percent will be disbanding sooner than expected.

Based on the group no longer having a dorm, no group variety show, fans are assuming they are disbanding and won’t have anymore interactions in the future. Once news of the group’s dorm no longer being rented went viral, many netizens reacted, “They are going solo already?” to “They are not filming a variety show, so there really is no need to rent the dorm anymore.”
