Beloved “Disbanded” Group Reunites Except 1 Member, Sparking Fury
A girl group’s upcoming reunion activities have stirred some mixed feelings.
In 2015, Cube Entertainment debuted the girl group CLC, featuring a line-up of five members. Two members were added to the group for its third comeback, Refresh, bringing the total to seven.
With the release of “Hobgoblin” and a concept change, the group saw a huge increase in recognition, charting internationally with the track and subsequent ones.
However, in 2020, Elkie requested termination of her contract, citing that she had not been paid for her acting activities and that Cube had ceased providing “developmental support” to CLC. Her contract was terminated in 2021, and thereafter, the rest of the group’s members left the company.
Most recently, member Eunbin departed from the company, the last to do so.
Earlier this year, it was rumored that the group would reunite for activities, including concerts, for their 11th anniversary. Along with Eunbin‘s apparent desire to retire from the industry, it was also said that Yujin would be unable to participate due to schedule conflicts with her activities as a member of Kep1er.
This greatly angered fans, who demanded to know why arrangements could not be made.
its becoming obvious that if yujin is taking the time to fly to taiwan to attend the concert but isn't participating and she attended yeeun's fanmeeting but didn't go on stage that it's not she doesn't have time it's that her company is not letting her reunite with them on stage

Yujin didn’t get to join Yeeun on stage during her fanmeeting. She didn’t get to join the anniversary live. She now doesn’t get to join the CLC reunion concert. Are we supposed to believe they’re all innocent scheduling conflicts when all Kep1er do lately is fansigns?

On June 1, new images of CLC were posted online, featuring all the members except Yujin, entirely confirming she will not be participating.
This additional confirmation has continued the previous feelings of disappointment and anger.
CLC anniversary concert without Yujin is such a bittersweet sensation… pic.twitter.com/TP9bvaOZ8e
