CUBE Entertainment released a statement to social media today (March 18) announcing the departure of the two CLC singers, following the conclusion of both their contracts with the company.

CUBE also expressed gratitude to fans of the group for “sending unstinting love to the two members”. “We wish them the best in their future endeavours,” it concluded. Neither Seungyeon, Yeeun nor their former label have shared the circumstances or reasons behind their departures from the company.

With this, both Seungyeon and Yeeun are now the third and fourth members of CLC to leave the agency, following Thai member Sorn in November 2021 and Elkie in February 2021. At the time of her departure, Sorn wrote in a post to Instagram that she and the company had “mutually agreed to part ways.”

“I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting me and everything I’ve done with CLC,” she said. “For the past 10 years, I’ve learnt so much from the whole experience. I’ve met six wonderful girls who have become my second family in Korea.”

On the other hand, Hong Kong-born Elkie claimed that there was “no reason” to remain in CLC after their agency had stopped providing support to the group.
