ONF: Members leave WM Entertainment but the journey continues under the group’s name

Complete translation of the official announcement

Here is the translation of the statement released by WM Entertainment:

[Official position regarding the expiration of ONF’s exclusive contract]

“Hello. This is WM Entertainment.

First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to the many FUSE who send their love and support to ONF.

After long and serious discussions between ONF and our agency, it has been agreed to terminate the exclusive contract as of the 29th of this month.

Although the journey we have traveled together for more than 8 years is coming to an end, the six members plan to continue their group activities under the name ‘ONF’.

Accordingly, the agency plans to continue providing the necessary cooperation and support for ONF’s activities even after the end of the contract. In addition, we look forward to the new story and the radiant journey that ONF will build in the future, and we convey our applause and gratitude to the members.

We hope that the FUSE will be present at every step taken by ONF, and we will also follow the members’ takeoff with hearts always full of support.

We ask for your continued interest and love.

Thank you.”

This announcement, while marking the end of a contractual era, is far from a farewell. The fact that WM Entertainment has committed to supporting the group despite its departure, and that the members retain the name ONF, is an extremely positive sign for the future. Like groups such as GOT7 or SHINHWA, ONF is preparing to prove that a group’s identity extends far beyond the framework of an agency contract.

FUSE can therefore be reassured, even if the behind-the-scenes environment changes, the harmony of the six members remains intact for the continuation of their “radiant journey.”
