What Is Happening With Cosmic Girls’ Contracts? Yeoreum Addresses The Group’s Future

Since the announcement of five members parting ways with Starship Entertainment earlier this year, there has been an air of suspense regarding Cosmic Girls‘ future. The fandom, lovingly referred to as UJUNGs, has been eagerly waiting for any updates on the matter.

Fortunately, in a recent interview with The Korea Herald, Yeoreum shared some insights on the topic.

When JTBC first broke the news about Luda, Dawon, Xuanyi, Cheng Xiao, and Meiqi opting not to renew their contracts, fans were left with more questions than answers. There was an atmosphere of uncertainty, and Starship Entertainment’s confirmation on the matter only confirmed UJUNGs anxieties.

The five members had been pivotal in shaping the group’s image and sound, leaving many to wonder how the group’s dynamics would evolve.

However, Yeoreum’s latest interview provides a more optimistic outlook.

I know many people are curious about how our contract renewals are going.

While she acknowledged the reshuffle currently taking place in the group, she also emphasized the focus on individual growth for the members. Her recent participation in Mnet‘s competitive survival show Queendom Puzzle seems to highlight this point.

Right now, the members are going through a period where we focus on expanding our individual scopes. That’s why I took part in ‘Queendom Puzzle.’

Yeoreum’s words seem to suggest a brighter future for Cosmic Girls. The members are looking to hone their skills and expand their horizons individually to collectively enhance the group’s performance and presence in the industry. It might be a period of transition, but it seems to be one grounded in personal and group growth.

I’ll give my best shot here so that I could later return more improved to WJSN.

Undoubtedly reassuring for UJUNGs, Yeoreum’s words indicate that the members who have chosen to stay are committed to the group and its future, even as they explore personal opportunities. And while fans undoubtedly miss the departed members, it’s heartening to see the remaining members dedicated to delivering even more quality content in the future.

It’s undeniable that Cosmic Girls have faced a significant turn in their journey, but Yeoreum’s statements highlight the silver lining. The group’s commitment to adapt and grow amidst change is evident, ensuring UJUNGs that their beloved idols are on a path of continuous evolution. With the support and love from the fans and the members’ relentless efforts, the future of the group seems to be shining bright.
