"We are in the stage of discussing the contract with each MAMAMOO member. There are still contracts left in action, but we want to give the members some in-depth time regarding the new contract. Therefore, we discussed this from the beginning. In addition, we also want to answer the growing speculation about the end of the MAMAMOO group. "
In addition to the official statement from the agency, it was also revealed that only two members had agreed to extend the contract with the agency, namely Solar and Moonbyul. The agency revealed, "Currently, Solar and Moonbyul have renewed their contracts based on their trust and expectations for the agency."
Still in an intense discussion stage
Since it was revealed that two members have continued to renew their contracts, the names of Wheein and Hwasa have been questioned. The two members have not been officially confirmed by the agency for contract extensions, like the other two members.
The agency revealed, "Wheein and Hwasa are having an intense discussion with us. All MAMAMOO members have great affection and pride for their fans. Therefore, we wish these two members a good result as well."
Netizens hope MAMAMOO doesn't disband
Still in the stage of an intense discussion with the other two members, fans and netizens also hope that MAMAMOO will not disband and can continue their careers together.
Seeing the many Kpop groups that disband made Moo Moo (as MAMAMOO fans) worried about the fate of their group. Various reactions have emerged from netizens since MAMAMOO's contract will end soon.
"A girl group generally has a short heyday, but MAMAMOO's influence in the Kpop music scene is strong and growing."
