Korean Media Reports On Status Of Alleged Member Of THE BLACK LABEL's New Co-Ed Group

Youngseo was suddenly dropped from rookie girl group ILLIT right before debut, stirring shock among fans.

Originally part of ILLIT’s six-member lineup after ranking high on JTBC and Belift Lab’s survival show R U Next?, Youngseo was confirmed to debut thanks to her skills. Then, out of nowhere, her removal was announced. The agency only said they had “mutually agreed to terminate the exclusive contract” without further explanation.

Fans lost track of Youngseo until May 2025, when she was spotted entering and leaving YG Entertainment’s building. Rumors immediately swirled that she might debut under YG’s umbrella next.

On June 4, 2025, Youngseo took fans by surprise by launching a quiet Instagram account with a single selfie post and no bio. She gained over 70,000 followers in just two days.

Netizens found “evidence” pointing to Youngseo joining a new girl group led by THE BLACK LABEL, YG’s sub-label headed by Teddy.

On June 6, 2025, Ilgan Sports confirmed she’s set to join a new co-ed group under THE BLACK LABEL.

Belift Lab on Youngseo’s contract termination:
“After in-depth discussions about future activities, we and Youngseo have mutually agreed to terminate the exclusive contract.”

“As this was a carefully made decision, we ask that people refrain from speculation or misunderstanding.”

Youngseo’s unexpected agency switch and upcoming debut under THE BLACK LABEL is now the hottest K-pop topic. Fans are eagerly watching as she gears up for her next chapter.
