South Korea's most popular female pop group Girls' Generation will continue to work under its current record label after its members decided to stay with the company, it was learned Monday.
According to a Korean news agency, all nine members of the group namely Taeyeon, Tiffany, Sunny, Jessica, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Seohyun, Sooyoung, and Yoona have recently renewed contracts with S.M. Entertainment.
It was reported that all of them signed for three more years with the music company just before the contract ran out in August of this year.
Earlier, there has been speculation that not all members of the nonet would be renewing with S.M. Entertainment since the girls are actively pursuing solo careers in films, radio, and TV shows.
But it seems the worried fans of the female group don't have to worry now.
Unlike when they first signed seven years ago, each girl has individually sat down at the negotiating table and signed the contract on different terms and conditions.
The female group first signed the seven-year contract with S.M. Entertainment in in August 2007.
At that time, all the girls signed same contracts since they were rookies and had no power to negotiate with the terms and conditions of the agency.
One S.M. Entertainment representative bared that each member renewed their contracts early, but kept it secret because it was important for the girls to go on with their own schedules and to continue promoting their endeavors normally.
Every member of the group is busy these days with Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, as the popular trio female group TaeTiseo, launching their second EP, "Holler," early this week.
The said musical recording immediately topped four major music charts at home only a day after its released.
On the other hand, Sooyoung, as an actress, has been receiving praise for her role in the MBC's drama, "The Spring Days of My Life."
Sunny is now working as a host in her own radio show "Sunny's FM Date" and was recently cast for Season 2 of popular reality/variety show "Roommate," while Jessica, Yoona, and Yuri are now busy appearing and working in various movies, TV shows, and other entertainment programs.
