[Update]Chorong, Bomi, Namjoo and Hayoung leaves IST Entertainment; signs with new agency Choi Creative Lab

I wonder how do artists that are continuing their group but leaving the previous company manages their schedule and activities

i don't get why most members leave and then like 1 or 2 members stays what is the point?

Isn't that what happened with Mamamoo recently?

Quote from soshixbang

They signed with a new agency pretty quick. lol

Actually thought they would each sign with different agencies. IST Entertainment's contract probably only benefited and favored Eunji.

Don't know how accurate these are...

Different contracts and normally they say which contract takes priority. When they have all the members they have a huge calendar showing all members solo and group stuff. If they leave they just need to make sure to go to the group stuff/have the company talk to them before adding group stuff. Problem arises when there isn't a contract for group work and its just on good faith (i.e. Apink). Then it depends on the solo companies and newly signed idols priorities, esp if the solo company isn't getting money from group work. Apinks CB had been delayed and later YG prioritised naeun's solo work over group work leading to mess and her leaving.

Kinda, Wheein has a separate contract for her solo and group activities. RBW for group, the l1ve for solo. She signed the RBW contract first and made it clear that group work would take priority over solo work when she signed with l1ve so its worked well overall. She hasn't missed a group schedule and is currently on tour with them. I think the same happened with GG members we just didn't see them actually use the priority thing until last year.

intresting
