Jeon So Yeon addressed rumors about the group’s potential disbandment, clarifying,
“My contract expired, and these days there are many articles being released that are like ‘(G)I-DLE is disbanding’ or ‘(G)I-DLE is over.’ However, not me alone, but the five of us all decided to renew our contracts together. We had the discussion before coming on stage today. It’s not just me, and yes, it’s all five of us members together.”
She assured fans, saying,
“The five of us will be together from now on, next year, the year after, and really forever, so I hope NEVERLAND won’t worry. We will give back with good music next year, as well.”
