For quite some time, many have been wondering whether or not MAMAMOO’s Wheein would be renewing her contract with her agency, RBW. Her bandmates, Solar, Moonbyul and Hwasa had already renewed theirs months ago and were awaiting Wheein’s decision. It’s finally been confirmed that the singer will not be renewing her contract with the agency, but will continue to promote and do group activities with MAMAMOO until 2023. The entertainment company released a statement regarding this: “Hello, this is RBW.First, we would like to sincerely thank everyone, including MooMoo [fandom name] both in Korea and abroad, for loving and supporting MAMAMOO.We have renewed our contracts with three members of MAMAMOO: Solar, Moonbyul, and Hwasa.
