On November 10, a representative from entertainment agency Antenna confirmed with media outlets, "It's true that our reps recently met up with former Lovelyz member Lee Mi Joo. However, nothing is confirmed yet."
By next week, seven out of eight Lovelyz members will have parted ways with Woollim Entertainment, their debut agency. The group's exclusive contract is due to expire on November 16. Each of the members are currently seeking out potential new agencies, and it seems that one of the agencies Lee Mi Joo chose to meet up with is Antenna, home to artists including Yoo Jae Suk, Yoo Hee Yeol, Jung Seung Hwan, etc.
Meanwhile, Lee Mi Joo debuted as a member of Lovelyz in 2014. She is currently active as a member of the latest segment on MBC's 'Hangout With Yoo'.
I called it ever since they announced their disbandment. It was bound to happen. Antenna's stock is going up ever since Yoo Jae Suk signed and they're looking to be more than a music label. Yoo Jae Suk was always close with Yoo Hee Yeol so they probably discussed the company's plans to branch out and Mi Joo is the first domino since Jae Suk has been taking care of her the last year.
