Former (G)I-DLE member Soojin officially leaves CUBE Entertainment
CUBE Entertainment has released a statement.
CUBE Entertainment has announced the termination of its contract with former (G)I-DLE member Soojin. The agency shared the news via a statement with a media outlet, expressing that regarding the controversy that arose in February 2021, CUBE Entertainment and Soojin worked with the police to investigate the case. However, the investigation determined that they found the individuals who made the comments not guilty of spreading false information.
In August 2021, CUBE Entertainment had announced that Soojin had decided to leave (G)I-DLE, and that the girl group will henceforth promote as five members. This news had come after Soojin’s bullying controversy, wherein she had been accused of school violence by her previous batchmates. Although Soojin and CUBE Entertainment denied the rumours, actress Seo Shin Ae had come forward to share that Soojin had bullied her when they were classmates together.
