South Korean girl group fromis_9 will now be managed by Pledis Entertainment, home to K-pop groups such as NU’EST and SEVENTEEN.

In a statement released by Pledis on August 16, the transfer of fromis_9 to the company was due to a “reorganisation” of the group’s previous label, Off The Record Entertainment.

The statement noted that Off The Record, Pledis and the group’s members had “engaged in a thorough discussion of the group’s future path and potential for growth”, before ultimately deciding the transfer of management.
