Girl Group EXID may soon become the latest victim of the infamous 7 year curse.

 

According to an exclusive report, the EXID members’ contracts will be expiring starting at the end of February, and each members’ contract expires at different times. However, the report shared that the contracts all expire in 2019.

 

One member that was highlighted was Solji, who is now 31 (Korean Age), as it is an important time for her to determine her future in the music industry.

 

The members are currently deciding whether they will re-sign their contract with Banana Culture or not, however some of the members have reportedly already been in contact with other agencies.

 

One entertainment insider explained why the EXID members are so desirable for them to have in their agencies, and why there is so much interest in where they sign.

“Based on their public awareness, the members are good at singing, acting, and variety among other things.”

“The members still have time on their contracts. We will talk with the members later in January and will continue to talk with them both before and after the Lunar New Year.”
