On June 10, 2021, RBW Entertainment has released a statement regarding Wheein's official departure from the agency.
Wheein has made her decision to leave RBW Entertainment and become a Free Agent (artist without an agency).
However, the idol will continue to promote with MAMAMOO until December 2023, starting from the album to their concert.
”Hello, this is RBW.
First of all, we would like to thank everyone, including MOOMOO both in Korea and abroad, for loving MAMAMOO and giving us their warm support.
We have renewed our contracts with three MAMAMOO members: Solar, Moonbyul, and Hwasa. We promise to give them generous support to fulfill their dreams in music activities and various fields, and [the renewal] is based on mutual trust and confidence.
Wheein had deep discussions with us as well as the other members for a long time, but in the end, she decided not to renew her contract. We would like to inform you that his contract with us is about to expire.
We fully respect Wheein's decision, and we sincerely hope that Wheein, who is about to enter a new chapter in her life, will always be happy and lucky. We thank Wheein for shining with us for seven years.
However, the four members of MAMAMOO remained steadfast in their affection as a group, so Wheein has signed an agreement to continue promoting with MAMAMOO in several activities until December 2023, such as albums and concerts. MAMAMOO's music will continue with as much love as you've given us, and we'll let you know about the specifics later.
MAMAMOO is currently preparing for their summer concert. We will show you good music and activities because we are MOOMOO's best friends, so please give us your encouragement and support." (www.kpopchart.net)
