After months of discussions with Rainbowbridge (RBW) entertainment agency to renew her contract, MAMAMOO’s member Wheein decides to leave.
As her contract is about to expire, the MAMAMOO member finally came to a decision to part ways with RBW since she debuted with other members on June 19, 2014.
From the report on Sports Kyunghang, although she will no longer be with the agency, Wheein shall still promote with MAMAMOO. It’s an arrangement that came from a mutual discussion with RBW.
RBW officially addresses the matter through its statement on June 11, 2021.
Hello, this is RBW.
First, we would like to sincerely thank everyone, including MooMoo [fandom name] both in Korea and abroad, for loving and supporting MAMAMOO.
We have renewed our contracts with three members of MAMAMOO: Solar, Moonbyul, and Hwasa. [The contract renewal was] based on mutual faith and trust, and we promise to give them our generous support so that they can fulfill their dreams in music activities and various fields.MAMAMOO’s Wheein has been in in-depth discussions with us like the other members for a long time, but in the end, she decided not to renew her contract. Hence, we would like to inform you that our exclusive contract with her will be terminated.
We fully respect Wheein’s choice, and we sincerely wish Wheein, who is starting a new chapter in life, happiness and good fortune. We would like to thank Wheein for shining with us for the past 7 years.
However, all four members have unchanging affection for MAMAMOO, so Wheein signed an extended agreement to participate in some activities, including albums and concerts, until December 2023. MAMAMOO’s music will continue as much as the great love fans have sent them, and we will inform you about the specific future activities later.
MAMAMOO is currently preparing for their summer concert. They will show good music and activities separately and together as MooMoo’s best friend, so please continue to give them warm encouragement and support.
Thank you.
