K-pop Shock: After a Decade Together, OH MY GIRL Faces a Major Shift

Significant changes have been announced for OH MY GIRL. Members YooA and Arin will be parting ways with their longtime agency, WM Entertainment, while Hyojung, Mimi, Seunghee, and Yubin have renewed their contracts.

On May 8, WM Entertainment stated, “Hyojung, Mimi, Seunghee, and Yubin have once again renewed their contracts with us, following their first renewal in 2022. This decision was made based on the deep trust we’ve built over the past 10 years.”

They also addressed YooA and Arin’s departure from the agency: “Although their exclusive contracts have ended, YooA and Arin have promised to continue as members of OH MY GIRL. We sincerely thank them for the past 10 years and will wholeheartedly support their new journeys as solo artists.”

WM added, “We will provide our full support not only for OH MY GIRL’s group activities but also for the individual paths of the members who renewed their contracts. We ask fans to continue showing love and support for each member as they move forward—both individually and as OH MY GIRL.”

OH MY GIRL debuted in 2015 with their single "CUPID" and have continued to gain popularity through a series of hit songs such as “Secret Garden,” “Nonstop,” “Dolphin,” and “Dun Dun Dance,” building a reputation for both musicality and mainstream appeal.

Hello, this is WM Entertainment.

First and foremost, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and congratulations to the fans who have supported OH MY GIRL consistently, especially as the group celebrates its 10th debut anniversary this year.

We would like to officially announce that we have renewed our exclusive contracts with four members of OH MY GIRL—Hyojung, Mimi, Seunghee, and Yubin.

Based on the deep trust we have built over the past decade, Hyojung, Mimi, Seunghee, and Yubin have decided to renew their contracts once again, following their first renewal in 2022.

We are sincerely pleased to continue our journey with these members who have shared such a meaningful bond with us, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to them for making this decision.

After long and thoughtful discussions, YooA and Arin have decided not to renew their exclusive contracts. However, although their individual contracts have ended, YooA and Arin have promised to remain active as members of OH MY GIRL.

We express our sincere gratitude to YooA and Arin for the past 10 years, and we will wholeheartedly support their future endeavors as they embark on new chapters of their careers.

Going forward, we will fully support both OH MY GIRL’s group activities and the individual pursuits of the members who have renewed with us.

We kindly ask for your continued love and support for each of the members as they move forward—individually and as part of OH MY GIRL.

Thank you.
