The team of 'underground idol' IHOTEU announced the termination of exclusive contracts for the remaining members following member Mina.
EFG Music stated on its official social media on the 13th that "member Mina has ceased activities as of today (the 13th). Members Negi and Amu are expected to continue their activities."
However, shortly thereafter, it was reported that "the exclusive contract with the company has been terminated as of today," indicating that the contracts for not only Mina but also two other members have been terminated.
IHOTEU is the first artist of EFG Music, a subsidiary of JDB Entertainment. JDB Entertainment established EFG Music, a K-live idol specialized planning agency, to provide content in various fields and genres. EFG Music recruited IHOTEU, the most talented group in the K-live idol scene, as its first artist. IHOTEU is a three-member group consisting of Negi, Mina, and Amu, with the slogan 'Voyage to Unknown,' always taking on new challenges.
IHOTEU has continued its activities as a K-underground idol. An 'underground idol' refers to an idol who performs primarily live without appearing in major media such as broadcasts or magazines.
Debuting on May 26, 2024, IHOTEU had been active, but following the termination of member Mina's activities on the 13th, the exclusive contracts were terminated, leading to their disappearance from history.
