With the release of the tracklist for Pentagon's 7th mini-album, 'Thumbs Up,' E'Dawn's name is included in the song credits despite Cube announcing his exclusion from this cycle of promotions.
The mini-album tracklist with credits are translated below:

I'm happy that his efforts don't go to waste and that he's represented on the mini-album, but this is still frustrating. Cube won't let E'dawn promote his work but is fine making money off of his work anyway? This is super shady and petty if you ask me.

So they're really not letting him participate in the album promos when he already prepared for them??? Like another member is performing his parts but his voice gonna still be on the album a la MBLAQs debut??? Ridic

Hopefully he still gets cash proceeds from this at the very least. He and Hyuna will be laughing all the way to the bank.

legally he's entitled to royalties

it'll probably be like with Critical Beauty where they re-recorded his parts

It sucks that he can't promote the songs he worked on :( but hey at least Cube didn't throw them away with the scandal... and he'll get royalties. I really hope he'll just miss one round of promotions :(

Assuming this means he's actually on the album musically, this tempers my anger a bit, but not entirely. This is still a dick move by Cube.

i deleted mine since you wrote out all the lyrics lol was too lazy to do that. I'm glad they're still trusting the members to lead the musical direction of Pentagon since the quality has VASTLY improved since they let them be involved.
