This past weekend, (G)I-DLE held a concert in Seoul as part of their 2024 (G)I-DLE WORLD TOUR [iDOL] IN SEOUL.
However, during Soyeon’s solo stage, she hinted in the lyrics that she might leave CUBE Entertainment later this year.
My contract ends in November. Who is going to stop me?
— Soyeon
This caused a stir in the fandom, as many felt that she was the backbone of the group.
Most recently, Soyeon took to Instagram and posted a response about the incident.
“My first thoughts are always to make people happy, and my second is to see what I can do to make our team happier. Sometimes, there might be some challenging moments and some projects that don’t receive a positive response. But I have never intentionally lied or caused harm to anyone or done something without conscience.
So, for this performance, I did not lie or hide it from the company. I performed this in front of the company tons of times during rehearsal, and it is a stage that we made together.
As we have gone through so many things in the past ten years, I don’t have bad feelings towards the company as the media portrays it. Words can mean totally different things, even if one little thing is said wrong.
However, I do think it was an opportunity to feel the company’s lack of response. I will also work hard so that we can grow together. I hope that I was able to take away some of the worry and uncomfortable emotions you may have had.
I will work harder so that you don’t have to worry, Neverland! I’m always sorry, thankful, and I love you!”
To this, Korean netizens praised Soyeon for her professional response to the rumors and news.
- “The company is there to respond and care for their artists, but they’re just adding fuel to the fire.”
- “Soyeon…our leader Soyeon.
- “Soyeon hwaiting!”
- “Soyeon is good at responding to the media reactions.”
- “Who thought that ‘contract ending’ would sound good.”
- “Soyeon..must be a hard time for you..can’t believe the company is acting like that.”
- “The company’s response is so strange.”
- “Wow she responded well.”
- “Jeon Soyeon hwaiting.”
- “Soyeon is really sweet and smart.”
- “She is really good at responding to the media.”
- “Guess this means she renewed her contract.”
- “She was honest and good at responding to the situation.”
- “Jeon Soyeon hwaiting. If you haven’t renewed yet, hope you really think about it instead of just renewing because of memories.”
- “She was good at responding honestly.”
- “She’s good at writing.”
- “Her response was way more professional.”
