B1A4 Wraps Up Contract With Agency Of 14 Years, Whats Their Next Step?
Group B1A4 (Shinwoo, Sandeul, Gongchan) is leaving the agency they have been with for 14 years.
On the 23rd of December, WM Entertainment announced the news via an official statement. They debuted on April 23, 2011, under WM Entertainment, and in 2018, two members, Jinyoung and Baro, left both the group and the agency. Since then, the group has been promoting as a trio.
Fans are curious about the trio’s next step. Many are wondering whether the group will continue to promote together or focus more on solo activities.
Below is the full statement from the agency regarding B1A4’s departure.
Hello, This is WM Entertainment.
First, we would like to express our gratitude to the fans who have loved and supported our artist B1A4 (Shinwoo, Sandeul, Gongchan).
After in-depth discussions with B1A4, we have mutually agreed to end our exclusive contracts.
We sincerely thank the B1A4 members, who have been with us over the past 14 years based on trust.
Although our exclusive contracts have come to an end, given the deep bond we have shared for a long time, we plan to wholeheartedly support B1A4 so that they can make a greater leap forward at their new home.
In addition, we will continue ongoing collaboration so that both WM and B1A4 can create synergy, and RBW Japan will also strengthen support for overseas activities by maintaining a cooperative working relationship.
Beyond a simple relationship between artist and agency, B1A4 has been a representative artist of WM and a trusted companion for 14 years. As they freely demonstrate their abilities and take on new challenges, all WM employees will sincerely support and bless the members’ future.
We ask for everyone’s warm interest and love for B1A4’s future activities.
