All this news of DBSK going their separate ways and doing solo things has got me thinking about the state of the solo artist in Asian pop music. It’s not unusual for artists to embark on solo careers even if just for a little bit. There’s G-Dragon, Hyori, Brian from Fly to the Sky. With all these boy and girl groups, it makes me wonder — will solo artists ever dominate? Ever look at individual boy and girl group members and think, “Wow, they could do so much better on their own.”

My poll question for you:

Who do you think is worthy of a solo career and why?
