Hello.
We are all sincerely grateful for your continued contact and support even amidst the challenging situation.
Currently, we have achieved the dissolution of the exclusivity contract through mutual notification, which was the ultimate objective of the action, and we are no longer artists under the management of ATTRAKT.
Therefore, there is no special legal assistance that fans can give us in the current situation.
However, the three members Jeong Jiho, Jeang Sehyun and Jeong Eunah continue to practice while recovering their health and are working to find a new manager.
We continue to cherish the determination to continue making music and hope to become artists who can share good influence. We will do our best to introduce ourselves to our fans soon and hope that fans will trust us and support us, even if it seems a little slow .
We hope everyone has a warm festive season and remember that we are always with you in our hearts.
Thanks.
