Busters: A Timeline of Changes

Formed in 2017, Busters has undergone several lineup transformations over the years. Minji notably joined the group during its rebranding phase and made significant contributions to their third single album, Paeonia, released in 2020. Since then, the group has launched several successful albums, including Re: Born and Tropical Romance, attracting a loyal fanbase.

Recent Developments in the Group

Minji’s exit aligns with a trend of recent changes within the Busters lineup, which has seen other members depart while new ones have joined. Most notably, there was a major rebranding between 2022 and 2023, introducing Nami to the group as she replaced Yunji, who had left in 2021 due to personal reasons. Interestingly, Yunji had joined the group in 2021 to replace former member Minmin.

Currently, Busters consists of four members: Jieun, Seira, Takara, and Nami. The absence of Minji leaves the group as a quartet for now, with fans awaiting an official statement from Marbling Entertainment regarding their future plans.
