Soyeon has officially responded to the rumors surrounding her contract with Cube Entertainment. Her actions have caught the attention of both netizens and fans, who have commended the (G)I-DLE leader for her professionalism.
On August 3, (G)I-DLE held a concert at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu as part of their third world tour “iDOL.”
While performing one of her solo stages, Soyeon included a bold rap verse that stated, “My contract ends in November, nobody can hold me back,”and “Who would dare to object?”
The verse’s context eventually sparked discussion within the K-pop community, as rumors surfaced online about the idol’s contract status with Cube. Soyeon later clarified that it was a joke and expressed her desire to remain with the group for a significant period of time.
Despite the agency’s clarification that the lyrics were only a part of her performance and that her actions could cause damage to Cube, the issue persisted and Soyeon felt compelled to post a detailed explanation on her Instagram Stories.
“My first concern will always be about how to make fans happy and second is to think about what I can deliver to make our team happier.
It might be challenging sometimes and some projects don’t receive positive feedback. But I have never lied or voluntarily caused harm to anyone that would affect my conscience. In this performance, I did not lie or hide anything from the company.
I performed this in front of the agency several times during rehearsal and we made this stage. We have been through so much in the past ten years and I don’t have hard feelings towards the company as portrayed by the media.
Because the true meaning of words can be twisted even if it’s slightly miscommunicated. However, this situation seems to be a reminder of the company’s lack of response. I will also do my best to work diligently so we can grow together.
I hope that any kind of worry or uncomfortable feelings have faded away. I will work hard so you don’t have to worry, Neverland! I’m sorry, grateful, and I love you.”
In a forum, Soyeon’s professional demeanor and her handling of the issue received praise from both X (Twitter) users and K-Netz and international fans.
- “Soyeon really handled the situation well.”
- “Her statement was more professional.”
- “The way she wrote that was so honest of her.”
