K-Netizens react to Pentagon's Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok leaving Cube Entertainment

AKP STAFF

Korean netizens have been buzzing with reactions to the recent news of Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok's exclusive contracts ending with Cube Entertainment.

On October 9, Cube Entertainment officially announced, "After careful discussions, we have decided to conclude exclusive contracts with Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok."

The agency continued, "After seven long years, we extend our deep gratitude to Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok, who have run with us. We wish them happiness in their future endeavors. We kindly request warm encouragement and support for PENTAGON members Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok, who are embarking on a new beginning."

The announcement has thus marked the end of an era, as Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok have now officially concluded their exclusive contracts after seven years. 

The news was met with mixed reactions from fans; most expressed their sadness over the conclusion of this chapter, and many criticized the timing of the announcement as being unfitting.

K-netizens commented, "Hul," "So this is how they let us know..." "I heard tomorrow is their 7th anniversary..." "Almost all the members are leaving..." "Are they going to continue to promote with PENTAGON? I don't know," "Sigh..." "They could have let us know a little after their 7th anniversary," "They suffered enough at Cube," "Oh no, tomorrow is their 7th anniversary, what's going to happen to the fans," "They chose such a good time to let fans know...right at the 7th anniversary time," "Wow, five out of the nine members are leaving," "Today, Hui has a musical in the evening, why did they announce this now?" "The timing..." "They really should have let us know later after the anniversary..." and "This is so cruel."

Let's face it, Cube is just shit. They have proven over and over again that they have no idea how to manage their artists. Wish it was easy for their groups to move somewhere else.

I'll just re-state my prior comments:

While we know exactly how cube is (look wat they did to Beast) This was EXPECTED. They have done NOTHING but hold Pentagon back, time and time again they have said they wanted to make music, collabs etc but cube keeps saying no. I half expect the rest of the members to walk away from Cube, whether Cube allows them to still promote Pentagon or steal all their work and have to go through what they put Beast through, time will tell. But Pentagon deserves BETTER. Hui has said it SO MANY TIMES. Them leaving Cube is the best thing for all of them because they are finally FREE to do what THEY WANT.
