The disbandment of Ghost 9 hit me like a ton of bricks—I’d been following their journey since their debut, and their sudden news felt so abrupt. From what I pieced together, a mix of financial struggles and mismanagement under their agency played a huge role. Their company, Maroo Entertainment, isn’t exactly known for stellar artist support, and rumors swirled about unpaid dues and lack of promotional resources.
What stung more was how their potential was never fully realized. They had such a unique sound, blending dark synth elements with crisp choreography, but they kept getting sidelined for more ‘marketable’ groups. Fans like me noticed how their comebacks grew sporadic, and then—poof—announcement drops. It’s a reminder how brutal the industry can be when profit overshadows artistry.
Ghost 9’s disbandment was this weird cocktail of bad timing and industry politics. I remember their last comeback barely got any push—no variety show appearances, minimal playlisting, just a quiet MV drop. Compare that to their rookie year, when they had decent traction with 'Think of Dawn.' The agency clearly fumbled their momentum.
Another angle? The members themselves hinted at creative differences in vague live-stream comments. One mentioned wanting to explore ‘heavier’ concepts, but the company kept recycling similar themes. When you add contract disputes (some members reportedly wanted early exits), it’s no surprise things collapsed. Honestly, it’s a shame—their b-side 'WALL' still lives rent-free in my playlist.
As a K-pop fan who’s seen too many groups vanish, Ghost 9’s case feels familiar. Small agencies often bet everything on a debut, then panic when sales don’t skyrocket. Maroo probably cut losses when they couldn’t compete with bigger labels’ budgets. The members’ Instagram posts post-disbandment had this bittersweet vibe—grateful but exhausted. Maybe they’ll pull a BAP and reunite years later, but for now, their 'Up All Night' album stays on my shelf as a what-could’ve-been relic.

Eight Years to Goodbye

At my best friend's wedding, a girl lunged forward and caught the bouquet—only for it to slip from her hands and land squarely in my arms.
My best friend, Lauren Walker, beamed at me. "Madison, looks like you're the next bride."
The guests exchanged knowing glances and turned toward my boyfriend of eight years—Mason Ryder, the CEO of the Ryder Group.
But he calmly plucked the bouquet from my hands and casually passed it to the girl standing beside me—his secretary, Natalie Carter.
"She caught it first." He ruffled my hair, his voice gentle. "Be good. Give it back to Natalie for now. We'll wait for the next time."
The spotlight—and the guests' attention—shifted with the bouquet, settling on Natalie.
I looked at her startled yet shy expression, then rested a hand on my stomach and forced a bitter smile.
Mason didn't know there wouldn't be a next time.
Our eight-year promise had already come to an end, and we still hadn't taken the step into marriage. And I had already promised my parents, who were royalty, that next week, I would leave and return to Montelvia to inherit the family legacy.
An abused little girl whose life has been too hard on her, but that won't last for long.
A little brat but not for long either, there would be someone to tame her.
She never thought she could be her authentic self, a little, brat, someone to be loved until him, who could fall for her?
A hacker, a mafia member, a part of the family
But he's also a daddy, her brother's best friend, and he's not someone to be messed with, and he wants her to be his, with all her traumas and trust issues.
This is their story.
They call me 'Ghost.' The king of mercenaries, feared across the entire black market.
But for Madeline, the Godmother of the Chicago Mafia, I walked away from it all. She wanted me by her side, so I became a normal man.
We were married for five years. The entire underworld knew she loved me more than life itself.
She even had my dagger tattooed next to her family's crest—a permanent mark of loyalty.
Until I got the photo from her lover.
The bartender was naked, his chest covered in red scratches from her nails. Madeline’s hand, with its red polish, was still on his waist.
He’d drawn his name right next to my dagger on her skin.
And my wife had let him.
"Madeline says I'm the only one who can make her feel like a woman. You can't satisfy her anymore. It's time to make way for a younger man."
I didn't reply. I just made a call.
"Hello. I need a new identity. And a plane ticket."
The seventh time Claire Fisher bailed on our marriage license appointment, I finally cut her out of my life—for good.
From then on, if she was at a party, I wasn't.
When she was scheduled to perform at our college's anniversary celebration, I made sure to leave early.
The moment my company announced a collaboration with hers, I resigned without a second thought.
Even on Christmas Eve, when she showed up at my parents' house with gifts, I slipped out with a half-hearted excuse about "visiting a friend."
I blocked her number. Deleted her from my contacts. Burned every bridge and salted the earth behind me. No calls. No texts. No social media.
I didn't reach out. She couldn't reach me.
Simple as that.
For the better part of my life, I was hopelessly in love with her—waiting on her, caring for her, putting her first in every way that mattered. I gave her all of me without ever holding back.
But after the seventh time she left me sitting alone at the City Hall, something inside me broke.
I was done.
If that meant spending the rest of my life alone, so be it.
Better that than sitting in an empty apartment, listening to the silence, holding on to hope for someone who never planned to show up.
Amanda Price has just moved to a new apartment in New York after her fiance broke up with her When she asked him the reason as to why he wanted to end their relationship, he told her that she loved her work more than him and the tip of the iceberg was that the only thing she could cook was burnt bread On a fateful day, she comes back home to find a hot half-naked man coking in the kitchen of her new apartment. Turns out, he was a ghost!
Drew Walters and his two brothers are stuck between two worlds because of an experiment that went wrong. When Amanda moved into the apartment which they were occupying, they were delighted The only problem was that she was a disaster in the kitchen, and she demanded they pay her rent for occupying her home.
Being a poor part-timer, Tynan could only afford a rip-off version of the i-phone called the G-phone. Never in his wildest dreams would he think of getting married to his phone - to be more precise, the thing living in his phone.
She claims to be the E-Ghost residing in the G-phone who surpasses AI like Cortana simply because she possesses intellect of her own. Meet Laura, the ghost that lives in a cell phone. Part spirit and part technology, she makes the perfect life companion Tynan could ever ask for.
Their problem? The G-phone is on a one year warranty. While they are busy overcoming their dimensional love barrier, G-phone calls. They want to take the phone back.
Can Tynan and Laura 'live' happily ever after?

Ghost 9 burst onto the K-pop scene with this electrifying energy that instantly caught my attention. I was knee-deep in their pre-debut content when they officially dropped their first single 'Think of Dawn' on November 10, 2020. Their debut EP 'PRE EPISODE 1 : DOOR' was this perfect blend of haunting melodies and sharp choreography—I must've rewatched the 'Think of Dawn' MV a dozen times that week. What really hooked me was their lore-heavy concept; it felt like unraveling a mystery with each comeback. Their company, Maroo Entertainment, really played the long game with their training period, and it showed in how polished they were right out the gate.
I still follow their releases closely because they've got this unique vibe that straddles dark fantasy and raw emotional intensity. Their b-side 'UNO' remains one of my favorite tracks from 2020—it's got that moody synth beat I can't resist. Funny how time flies; they've already celebrated three anniversaries, and seeing their sound evolve from theatrical to more experimental has been a wild ride.
their latest album, 'Arcade: V', really caught my attention. It's a fascinating blend of their signature electronic sound with some fresh experimental touches. The title track has this addictive synth loop that just won't leave my head, and 'X-Ray' shows off their growth in vocal harmonies.
What I love most is how they've matured their sound without losing that energetic vibe that first drew me to them. The b-side tracks like 'Control' show a darker, more introspective side that adds nice depth to the album. It's become my go-to for both workout playlists and late-night chilling.
Ghost 9 is this super talented K-pop boy group that debuted under Maroo Entertainment in 2020, and they’ve got such a unique vibe! The members are Junhyung, Prince, Kangsung, Junseong, Woojin, Shin, and Jinwoo. Each of them brings something special to the table—Junhyung’s leadership, Prince’s smooth vocals, Kangsung’s sharp dancing, and Woojin’s all-rounder energy are just a few highlights. Shin and Jinwoo add this fresh, youthful charm that balances the group perfectly.
What I love about them is how they blend intense performances with heartfelt moments. Their debut track 'Think of Dawn' was a moody, cinematic bop, and they’ve only grown since. If you’re into groups with strong synchronization and emotional depth, they’re worth checking out. I stumbled upon their live stages last year and instantly got hooked!
