I-DLE's Soyeon on contract

During (G)I-DLE's recent concert in Seoul for their '2024 WORLD TOUR [iDOL]', member Soyeon sparked speculation about her future with the group by referencing a potential contract end in November during her solo performance. Cube Entertainment quickly responded to the ensuing media frenzy, clarifying that the re-contracting period for all members is set for next year and that Soyeon's comments were simply part of her performance. Fans expressed a mix of confusion and concern over the unexpected lyrics, particularly given the group's approaching seventh anniversary, a period often associated with disbandment in K-pop. Despite the agency's assurances, the incident has left many wondering about the future dynamics of (G)I-DLE, especially if Soyeon, a key songwriter and leader, decides not to renew her contract. The controversy has ignited discussions online, as fans debate the implications of Soyeon's remarks on the group's continuity. As (G)I-DLE continues their world tour, all eyes remain on the upcoming contract negotiations and the group's collective future.
