“We have decided not to renew our contract with JYP Entertainment, where we began our career. They’ve done the best for us though. We are planning on opening the new chapter of our lives, and wanted to make sure you were the first one to know about it,” the members said, according to SBS News.

They added, “We know whatever we say won’t ease your pain as well as to make your anxiety go away, but there is one thing we can say to you. We would like to say that we don’t want our memories with you kept in the past; we want to keep creating memories with you in the future.”

“Let us show ourselves growing in different ways. We will keep improving ourselves. Keep an eye on us. Love you, IGOT7,” the members said.
