As Bae Jin-young breaks up with his agency C9 Entertainment, the group CIX is also leaving.

C9 Entertainment said on the 5th that it ended its exclusive contract on the 1st after discussions with Bae Jin-young and that "CIX will continue its activities as a four-member system of BX, Hoon, Yong-hee, and Hyun-seok in the future."

Bae Jin-young, who worked as a project group Wanna One through the Mnet survival program 『Produce 101" in 2017, returned to her original agency C9 Entertainment and re-debutted as a group CIX after completing Wanna One's activities in 2019.

As the exclusive contract period is usually seven years under the standard contract contract, Bae Jin-young will debut as CIX in 2019, but he will be included in the contract period from his activities as Wanna One in 2017. In response, other Wanna One members Park Ji-hoon and Yoon Ji-sung recently completed exclusive contracts with original subordinates and announced the news of nesting in a new place.

As Bae Jin-young left C9 Entertainment, curiosity about CIX's future moves grew. On top of that, another member, Seunghoon, is also working as a project group B.D.U. through Mnet vocal boy group Survival BuildUp.

In response, C9 Entertainment stated that "CIX will continue its activities as a four-member system of members BX, Hoon, Yonghee, and Hyunseok, excluding Bae Jin-young." In addition, "We are currently preparing news reports and various performances to be released in the second half of the year."," he said, announcing his plans for the second half of the year.

Attention is focusing on whether CIX, known as the 「Bae Jin-young Group" at the time of its debut, will be able to succeed in making a new leap forward by being reborn as a four-member group without Bae Jin-young.
