K-pop girl group Loossemble ends contract with CTDENM

Loossemble, a girl group consisting of former LOONA members Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Gowon and Hyeju, has left their agency.

Today (November 29), K-pop agency CTDENM released a statement via the girl group’s Fancafe page announcing that their contract has been terminated. “First of all, we would like to express our gratitude for the valuable support and love for the members of Loossemble,” it said.

“We would like to inform you that the exclusive contract with Loossemble has ended,” CTDENM said. “We sincerely thank the Loossemble members for their meaningful time at CTDNM and cheer them on on their brilliant journey into the future. Thank you very much.”

At the time of publication, it is unclear whether the group is disbanding or intends to join a new agency. However, member Hyeju shared on fan messaging platform Fromm that they were “still seeing each other” and told fans not to worry shortly after the news broke.

This comes a little over a year after Loossemble debuted their self-titled EP under CTDENM in September 2023. The five members, who had all been members of LOONA, joined the newly formed company earlier this year after terminating their contracts with former agency Blockberry Creative.

Loossemble released three mini-albums during their time under CTDENM, the most recent being “TTYL” in September of this year. The quintet also went on a US tour between September and October of this year.

In other K-pop news, girl group NewJeans held an emergency press conference last night (November 28) where they announced their departure from HYBE label’s ADOR. The announcement comes after months of conflict between the group, former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin and HYBE.
