Earlier this year, Hong Kong-born member Elkie left the group after terminating her contract with CUBE. According to the agency’s statement, her withdrawal was a “mutual agreement between both parties.” Elkie later spoke to Hong Kong newspaper Ming Bao, where she spoke out against the agency for “taking away” the group’s opportunities

During the interview, the singer alleged that the agency had stopped providing support to CLC. “When the company said it would no longer be investing resources into CLC, I felt that there was no reason to stay on,” said Elkie.

CLC debuted as a five-piece group – consisting of Seunghee, Sorn, Seungyeon, Yujin and Yeeun – in 2015. Elkie and Eunbin were later added in 2016, and CLC began promoting as a septet with the release of their 4th EP, ‘Nu.Clear’.

Last September, CLC released the single ‘Helicopter’ nearly a year after their previous comeback, ‘Devil’, dropped in 2019. Since then, they have not made any releases as a group.
