Other notable individuals managed by Sun De Rong include Ming Dao, Qiao En, Cyndi Wang, and Hong Qiao. Nearly two years later, R&B was formed but disbanded in 2006. Following these successes, Jungiery continued to create more groups, such as 7 Flowers and 183 Club. Individuals were also organized into various groups. Sun Zhong managed K-One, and Toro joined Jungiery and became part of the group Typhoon after leaving Energy.
In 2007, the company faced some setbacks.
