The group ONF is leaving its agency for a new start after eight years since debut.
WM Entertainment Co. said on the 27th through its official channel, "After repeated discussions over a long period with ONF, we have agreed to terminate the exclusive contract effective on the 29th."
Although the contract is ending, ONF will be able to continue team activities. WM said, "While we will put a period to the companionship that ONF and our company have walked together for more than eight years, the six members will continue group activities under the name ONF. Therefore, our company will not spare cooperation and support necessary for ONF's activities even after the contract ends," it said.
It added, "We look forward to the new narrative and brilliant journey that ONF will create, and we send our applause and gratitude to the members. We hope FUSE fans will be with ONF in every step they take, and DASA will also always watch the members' soaring with a supportive heart. We ask for continued interest and love from many people."
ONF debuted in August 2017 under WM Entertainment Co., which produced B1A4 and Oh My Girl. In June 2023, except for Japanese member YU, they completed their military service after enlisting together.
