Woollim Entertainment has announced that they will be terminating their exclusive contracts with Rocket Punch and Golden Child.
The label shared the notices on their respective groups’ social media on December 27.
Woollim revealed that most of Rocket Punch – members Yeonhee, Yunkyoung, Sohee and Dahyun – have mutually decided to terminate their contract, with only Suyun continuing.
Golden Child, which saw members Bomin, Tag and Jibeom depart in August, will also see its remaining members depart. Only Jangjun and Joochan signed to continue with the entertainment agency.
Originally debuting with six members, Rocket Punch has promoted itself as a five-member girl group since Takahashi Juri’s departure in May 2024 following the expiration of her contract with the label.
