During a recent performance in Seoul as part of (G)I-DLE's "2024 WORLD TOUR 'iDOL'," member Soyeon caused a stir by unexpectedly referencing a supposed contract end in November during her solo stage. The lyrics, "November contract end, who can stop me?" caught fans off guard and quickly led to widespread speculation.
In response to media inquiries, Cube Entertainment clarified that the re-contracting period for all members is set for next year and that Soyeon's mention of a contract ending this year was merely part of her performance. The agency expressed concern over potential harm caused by Soyeon's unapproved actions, which were not pre-discussed with the company.
Fans reacted with confusion and concern, with many taking to social media to express their shock and anxiety about the group's future. Some criticized the sudden reference to the contract's expiration, suggesting it could have been better left unsaid.
Adding to the intrigue, it was revealed that the controversial lyrics were displayed on the media wall during the performance, raising questions about Cube Entertainment's prior knowledge of the act.
After concluding their Seoul concert, (G)I-DLE is set to continue their world tour, with stops in 14 cities across the globe, including Hong Kong, Tokyo, and various cities in the United States and Australia.
