It has been confirmed! The South Korean girl group 4 minute will finally end their seven-year collaboration in the entertainment industry after the singers decided not to renew their contracts with agency Cube Entertainment.
“All four of the members deliberated for a long time on whether or not they wanted to renew their contracts. Ultimately, they decided not to renew and subsequently left Cube Entertainment,” the record label company announced on June 16, according to Soompi.
