(G)I-DLE’s leader, Jeon Soyeon, has finally confirmed her contract renewal with Cube Entertainment, putting an end to weeks of speculation about the group’s future. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as all five members are staying together.

On December 1, Soyeon took to her Instagram to share the news directly with fans. In her heartfelt post, she expressed her deep gratitude, “I’m so thankful to Neverver (a sweet nickname for their fan club, Neverland) and everyone who loves (G)I-DLE’s music. And, of course, I love my members the most.”

Reflecting on their seven-year journey, she said, “We’ve gone through so much together—happiness, sadness, despair, and hope. These experiences have made us stronger as a team.”

Soyeon also addressed why the contract renewal process took longer than fans might have expected. She explained, “Since we’re friends who grew up in completely different environments and only met as adults, it naturally took time for us to make this decision. Neverver, I know you were really worried. But in the end, all five of us shared the same thought—we wanted to stay together.”

She added, “I’m so happy and proud to continue as (G)I-DLE’s leader. Miyeon unnie, Minnie unnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua—thank you so much, and I love you all. Neverver and (G)I-DLE, let’s stay together forever!”

During her acceptance speech, Soyeon addressed the swirling rumors directly , “Lately, there have been so many articles saying (G)I-DLE might disband because of my contract. Some even said this was the end for us. But I want to make this clear—all five of us have renewed our contracts. We finalized the decision just before stepping on stage tonight. Next year, the year after, and for as long as we can, the five of us will continue as (G)I-DLE. We’ll repay you with amazing music.”
