She would later join CUBE Entertainment and debut as a soloist and a member of 4MINUTE. After her dating news with former PENTAGON member E’Dawn, she would leave the company and sign with P-NATION.

Many have been suspicious about this, however. HyunA joined CUBE Entertainment for her return to idol life, and it was discovered that the CEO was actually an executive at JYP Entertainment who left to start CUBE Entertainment. Rumors say that HyunA followed him to company due to internal conflicts that JYP Entertainment refused to comment on, which is why they said she was sick. These claims, however, have not been proven as fact.
