Elkie’s contract with Cube Entertainment has been terminated.

Previously in December, Elkie sent a notification to Cube Entertainment regarding the termination of her contract, and she wrote a letter talking about her experiences and hopes for the future.

On February 3, it was announced that Elkie’s contract has officially been terminated, and she has also been withdrawn from CLC.

The official statement reads as follows:
Hello.

Good for her! But this is definitely the beginning of the end for CLC :(

glad she got out, may the rest be able to leave to greener pastures themselves soon

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Low-key surprised they didn't (publicly) try to drag her/throw her under the bus like their previous messes.

Good for her, she shone among the clc members as far as line/center position goes but was not pushed enough anywhere else, like acting or modeling.

And what of the other members I wonder? Would they also like to leave, or would it be more difficult of a step since it would make their future career in Korea difficult?

[kyungwons.livejournal.com]

i won't say i'm glad she was able to leave easily because i'm sure it wasn't especially behind the scenes but i did worry it would be so much worse and they would drag things out for ages so i'm happy i was wrong about that. hopefully she can flourish in whatever she chooses to do next.

i feel bad for the remaining clc members stuck in limbo.

i'm honestly surprised it's this quickly
really happy for elkie, hope she gets to do the things she wants to do now

Looking at previous issues with contract termination and CUBE, they usually end quick and with not so much drama. Just a few discussion and thats it.

And yes, I really wish her all the best!

Now the rest need to be free or at least Cube needs to learn how to treat their artists right.

happy for her but i feel for the other members :( cube really ruined clc's potential

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

Bye Cube. She deserved so much better than how they treated her. I'm hoping she becomes an amazing soloist or at most in a duet. Any idea if she is staying in Korea?

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Good for her. I hope she does well.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

good for her tbh. i wish her the best of luck w/ whatever she decides to do after this.

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

Wish it was sorn instead smh!

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Must have had some real receipts for this to go as easily and fast as it did. Be free! Hope she got some payout as well.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

That was quick. Good for her tho.

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew how it all really went down. I wonder if she'll try to tap the Chinese market.. not sure if she has enough connections..

[bsfan.livejournal.com]

According to the comments, this is a good thing so good for her.

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

fuck cube. i hope elkie is able to have the kind of career she wants now.

[inwazyja.livejournal.com]

Good for ha.

She had a minor role in a Chinese drama, I wonder if she wants to go into acting eventually (I didn't recognise her at first, so she didn't stand out in a negative way next to the other cast member tbh)

[dull-and-wicked.livejournal.com]

she must have had a lot of proof to back everything up for cube to let her go without a fight like this. good for her tbh

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

I remember someone saying that her family is filthy rich, like absurdly rich, and seeing how fast she broke free (in comparison) I believe it. Cube decided that eating shit & letting her go is better than to stand against her.
