Just announced today, CUBE Entertainment has confirmed that (G)I-DLE member Soojin has decided to leave the group. This move comes after Soojin’s bullying controversy, where the singer was accused of school violence by her previous classmates. (G)I-DLE will continue activities and promotions as five members. The official announcement from CUBE states:

“This is Cube Entertainment.

First, the agency apologizes for having caused concern through the controversy associated with our artist Soojin.

Today, we are announcing the decision that Soojin will be leaving the group.

(G)I-DLE will henceforth promote as five members. We will continue to do our best and provide unstinting support so that (G)I-DLE can show their growth in music and performance.

Thank you.”
