Former (G)I-DLE member Soojin left the agency.
Cube Entertainment announced on March 5 through an official statement, "The exclusive contract with our artist Soojin has been terminated."
A representative from the agency said, "In response to the controversy raised in February of last year, the company and Soojin tried for a long time to determine the authenticity through a police investigation, but the investigation result came out that it was not appealing (no charges). I am sorry for causing concern to many people with this incident.”
Earlier, in February of last year, an article that revealed that Soojin had been a bully at school was uploaded to an online community. Soojin denied the bullying allegations, but the controversy did not subside when actress Seo Shin Ae confessed that she had been bullied at school.
Accordingly, Soojin stopped activities in March of last year and left the team in August of last year after six months of controversy. In addition, she had to leave her agency.
