Full Translation of the Statement
Hello, this is Cube Entertainment.
We would like to express our official position regarding BTOB’s future activities.
We discussed carefully with the members for a long time ahead of the expiration of BTOB’s second exclusive contract. As a result, we decided not to sign a re-contract under mutual agreement.
By this, CUBE Entertainment and BTOB Seo Eun Kwang, Lee Minhyuk, Lee Chang Sub, Lim Hyun Sik, Peniel, and Yook Sung Jae will wrap up our 11-year-long companionship.
BTOB, which debuted on March 21, 2012, has established itself as a boy group representing the third generation of K-pop. They could, with its outstanding singing skills and music loved by the public.
The company would like to thank BTOB for their proud performance as a member of Cube Entertainment for a long time. And to MELODY for always being supportive of BTOB.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Cube Entertainment and BTOB has come to an end here. Still we will sincerely support the new growth and shining future of BTOB members with endless possibilities.
What would happen next?
However, in the statement they did not mention how the group will be. It was just talking about ‘BTOB exclusive contract expiration’. But by fans’ guess, the members always showed their strong opinion to stay as one team. So it seems, if the group gets right of trademark on ‘BTOB‘, they would continue their group activity as BTOB. If they can’t get the group’s trademark rights, they might have to change their name like other former CUBE idol, Highlight did.
