SEOUL, Apr. 28 (Yonhap) -- South Korean girl group Apink's Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo-mi, Kim Nam-joo, and Oh Ha-young have been confirmed to end their exclusive contracts with IST Entertainment. Jeong Eun-ji will be the only member to be repped by the agency.
In an official statement, the agency wrote, “We will be concluding our beautiful 12-year-long journey with Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo-mi, Kim Nam-joo, and Oh Ha-young at the end of this month.”
Meanwhile, the agency will continue its relationship with Jeong Eun-ji as it recently renewed its contract with the singer-cum-artist.
“Jeong Eun-ji will be greeting her fans with her new project as an actress as well as through her solo music as soon as possible,” the agency continued. “IST will continue to support her to the fullest so that she can stand out in each and every field.”
Nevertheless, the act will continue its group activities regardless of the individual decisions on their contract renewals.
All members promised to continue their activities as a group, and they have reportedly shown a strong motivation and affection towards group activities, according to IST. “After going through careful discussion on future activities, IST will put our utmost effort in protecting the team through cooperation.”
