(G)I-DLE’s Soyeon’s current exclusive contract with Cube Entertainment expires in November this year.
Cube Entertainment has released an official statement regarding the contract renewal of Jeon Soyeonby (G)I-DLE, and the performance at the group’s “iDOL” concert in Seoul, South Korea, last weekend, where the artist changed the lyrics of her solo song “Is this bad b****** number?” to include a mention of the end of her exclusive contract with the company, which expires in November.
The performance caused concern among fans about the group’s future, although it was reported by several South Korean portals that an agency representative had revealed that “the lyrics of Soyeon were just part of the presentation”, as (G)I-DLE contract renewals were due to happen next year.
However, last Tuesday, the 6th, Cube Entertainment clarified once and for all that the information that circulated in South Korea corresponds to “the opinion of an individual” and is not an official statement from the agency, since the possibility of contract renewal continues to be discussed with the quintet formed by Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi It is Shuhua.
The statement has the following translation:
Hello.
This is Cube Entertainment.Some of the reports about Soyeon’s performance of her solo song ‘Is this bad b****** number?’ are not true, and we have never given an official statement on the matter.
Therefore, as one individual’s opinion has been spread as if it were our agency’s official statement, we apologize for giving cause for concern to the many people who give Soyeon and (G)I-DLE their love and interest, and we are making an official statement regarding our stance.We knew the lyrics of the presentation of [Soyeon] ‘Is this bad b****** number?’ in advance.
Furthermore, it is true that the mentioned term is the moment in which the contract [de Soyeon] will expire, and we are currently in the process of gently discussing a [possível] contract renewal.
We are sincerely grateful to the fans who always show so much interest and support for (G)I-DLE.”
