Other groups that debuted in 2013 include: Speed, Ladies' Code, 5urprise (Seo Kang Joon's actor/idol group), M.Pire, Topp Dogg, and a few others.
It's not all bad news though - Several successful solo artists made their debut in 2013 including Lim Kim, Eric Nam, and Sunmi. Clearly 2013 was just a very unlucky year for rookie groups.
