According to Star Today's investigation on the 26th, 5 out of 8 Fromis_9's members (Song Hayoung, Park Jiwon, Lee Nakyung, Lee Chaeyoung, Baek Jiheon) have recently signed exclusive contracts with the newly established agency 'ASND'.
However, the remaining 3 members, Lee Saerom, Lee Seoyeon, and Roh Jisun, have decided to go their separate ways after long discussions with the members.
It has been confirmed that the members wanted to keep the group together even after leaving their original agency, Pledis Entertainment.
After carefully considering their options, the five members ultimately agreed to join a new, more progressive, and diverse agency to begin a new chapter.
The members who have joined the new agency will continue to use the group name.
-Saerom, Seoyeon, and Jisun... That's surprising.
-I didn't expect Lee Nakyung's decision. I thought she'd leave to focus on her acting career... I also didn't expect those three to not renew their contracts.
-Oh... They even get to keep the group name?? That's good news.
-I think Seoyeon is going to go solo and Saerom would pursue her acting career. Actually, I'm most surprised about Nakyung and Jisun...
-I thought fromis_9 had nine members, but it turns out there were only eight.
-I liked Saerom. It's a pityㅜ I hope she does well in the future.
-I think Seoyeon would do fine as a solo artist.
-Well... It is not easy for all 8 members to renew their contracts together. But still, this is good news.
-Nakyung should just focus on her acting career... Why did she choose to stay in the group?
-I just became a fan yesterday, sigh... Still, I’m glad at least five of them are staying together.
-I had a feeling Song Hayoung and Park Jiwon would stick together.
-I’ve heard Saerom and Jisun’s names quite a lot. Aren’t they popular members?
-Hul... The other 3 members are my favorites... I wonder where they'll go now.
-Is Song Hayoung the main vocalist?
-When I heard only 5 members stayed, I figured it'd be those 5.
