The band mentioned on Thursday night time that they’ll finish their unique contract with Ador, an affiliate of Hybe, because of the administration company’s alleged breach of contract. The contract was presupposed to endure till 2029.
The choice comes after months-long disputes between Min Hee-jin, the producer of the idol group and the previous chief government of Ador, and Hybe, who accused Min of making an attempt to grab management of the label.
Min has denied the accusations and Ador mentioned there was no breach of contract.
