K-pop was born in the year 1992. Since then, the genre has taken over Korea and eventually, the world at large. Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK are among the leaders of the new school who have the music industry in a chokehold.
A2K — a Making the Band-esque reality show — is a competition designed to discover the latest K-pop girl group with the potential to top the charts ...
When the show first premiered, viewers met the contestants who wanted to secure a spot in the finals, but in the end, only three could come out on top.
Since the show’s debut, Canadian vocalist Melissa Kadas has become a fan favorite. However, ahead of the finals, Melissa went missing from the show and fans are desperate to know why. So, why did Melissa leave A2K? The singer couldn’t join her castmates in Korea due to “personal reasons.”

“Hi everyone! After a lot of sleepless nights, I have a very difficult decision to withdraw from the A2K competition,” Melissa said in the video. “I want to wish all the artists continued success in the competition and in all that they do. I will see you all very soon.”
Later, she wrote an emotional message to fans on Instagram.
“Thank you for all the love and support throughout my journey. I appreciate and love each and every one of you,” she captioned a post shortly after the news surfaced on social media. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
