(G)I-DLE SoYeon in Contract Renewal Talks, Leadership in Spotlight

Recently, (G)I-DLE shared a post on their official SNS account titled “Today’s Dinner Recommendation,” showing the members enjoying a meal together. However, the group’s leader, SoYeon, was absent from the photos. The official account tagged only the other members, raising curiosity among fans about SoYeon’s whereabouts.

Currently, SoYeon is in discussions with Cube Entertainment regarding the renewal of her exclusive contract. Although there were previous rumors about a failed contract renewal, Cube Entertainment denied these and stated that negotiations are still ongoing. Cube Entertainment added that scheduled activities like the world tour would proceed regardless of the contract renewal status.

On the 23rd, SoYeon addressed the contract issue during the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’ at Kyocera Dome Osaka, delivering a striking rap performance. Her lyrics referenced former member Seo SooJin, saying, “I told you in 2021. What can you do without SooJin?”

As SoYeon plays a vital role as the leader, rapper, and general producer within (G)I-DLE, her contract renewal is drawing significant attention from fans and the industry. Despite Seo SooJin’s departure, (G)I-DLE has solidified their status as a top girl group with hit songs like “TOMBOY,” “NUDE,” and “Queencard.” There is keen interest in what new challenges (G)I-DLE will take on under SoYeon’s leadership.
