Idol group IVE member So-yeon did not hide her affection for her agency.

The EBS program 'Space Concert' aired on the 2nd was themed around 'So-yeon's Amazing Life.' On that day, So-yeon revealed all tracks of her first solo full album, 'Amazing Life,' which is set for release, and captivated the audience with a passionate performance.

Starting the stage with the title track 'I'm Quitting,' So-yeon moved into the audience, sat beside them while singing, and instantly won over the crowd with a performance akin to a musical. While saying, "Every time I sing this song, I get choked up," she also added, "Isn't it true that people who habitually say they're quitting are often the last ones to leave? Sometimes I think about quitting, but in the end, I think I'm not that kind of person," showing a cheerful demeanor.

On that broadcast, So-yeon raised the energy with 'Bankroll,' featuring direct lyrics, and 'Vegetable Hate Song,' where the audience shouted "No!" together. She then performed 'Amigo' with singer-songwriter Min-su, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a club at 2 a.m. Additionally, on the stage for her new alter ego 'icebluerabbit,' she poured out endless energy alongside dancers wearing rabbit masks.

This intense passion led to deep emotion through So-yeon's sincere confession. She shared that after practicing everything to overcome her mediocre talent, she encountered the divine fortune of songwriting, revealing the rigorous efforts hidden behind the flashy title of 'genius producer.' Also stating that "music is my self-esteem," So-yeon removed her long nail art, which she calls her pride, and played the guitar herself for the stage of her new song 'Can't We Just Love Each Other,' conveying a sincere resonance.

So-yeon declared her firm conviction: "Music has always been a grateful presence to me. I want to keep doing it even when I become a grandmother; I absolutely do not want to quit." She then performed songs such as 'BEAM BEAM' and 'Jelly.'

Earlier, on August 27, Jeon So-yeon posted a photo of the Cube Entertainment building.

In the photo, Jeon So-yeon reached out her hand in front of the Cube Entertainment building and left a message saying, "I'm quitting."

This was not the first time Jeon So-yeon took such action. Ahead of the expiration of her exclusive contract with Cube Entertainment in August 2024, she drew attention during an IVE concert stage by mentioning lyrics such as "Contract ends in November. Who will stop me" and "Do I have to care about XX's feelings."

Subsequently, Cube Entertainment explained that the re-signing date for the IVE members is 2025 and that the performance was part of the show, but Jeon So-yeon confirmed that she did indeed criticize Cube Entertainment. She stated, "This performance also did not hide lies or bother to conceal it from the company. Since we have overcome many things together for over ten years, I do not hold negative feelings toward the company just by reading articles in the media."

She continued, "I feel this has been an opportunity once again to recognize our company's inadequacies in response. I will also strive so that we can develop together; I hope that uncomfortable emotions such as worry or hatred can subside somewhat." Following this, Jeon So-yeon renewed her contract with Cube Entertainment.

However, it turned out to be part of the concept for her solo album.

On August 27, IVE officially released a still image on their official SNS that appeared to be a teaser for Jeon So-yeon's new solo album. The still featured the tracklist for 'Amazing Life' and drew attention with a document titled "Resignation Letter" displayed on a computer screen.
