According to an exclusive by Herald Pop, some of the members have requested the agency to terminate their contracts. Original member Aram decided to leave the group last year and is in the midst of a lawsuit to terminate her contract with the agency, and another original member OneKet is now also in the process of filing against the agency.

Member Hayeon also left late last year, but her leave was agreed upon by both her and the agency.

It's said Aram and OneKet are asking for their contracts to be terminated due to the conflicts that arose during Hayeon's leave and the delays that came with their album release. They are insisting that it is due to the shortcoming of the agency that such problems have occurred.

Simtong, however, are of the position that Aram and OneKet have violated their contracts and that the agency has invested a lot of money into the members' training, housing, and promotions.

Their agency told TVReport, "We are currently in a meeting. We will soon release our official statement." 

The group is also said to be getting ready for a comeback in the first half of this year with new member(s). Their new song being released today, "Echo", is not expected to be promoted on broadcast according to reports.
