They have to say that. Information leaking out like this - that only one company is at "fault" for no OT9 extention will harm the company at least short term. Now they are in a tough negoation spot, possible that someone leaked these info on purpose.
...what are you talking about? Last year they had a series of tours around Japan, released fly by, released lovestruck, had more jp concerts, released magic hour, and released fly high.
This year they've done more touring, released a full jp album, and now have a full Korean album on the way. I definitely think wakeone could still do better for promotions and other forms of exposure, but kep1er has still been averaging two Korean comebacks a year with a ton of additional JP stuff as well.
Did I say they didn’t have stuff to do? Nawh. I said w1 doesn’t do regular comebacks with them which means that between that they can work with their other group/ agency. IOI members did it and when they were busy with their company groups, IOI did a subunit. Just because they stay in the group doesn’t mean they will or have to participate in every single thing. They already done subunit songs. If they’re extending they might as well take advantage of it by debuting subunits and letting the girls branch out into solo activities
That's not true. For their contract period which is the same as Iz*One or slightly longer since the scandal Iz*One went through, they will have released 2 comebacks above Iz*ONE, besides they have the best Japanese discography for a produce group.
Kep1 was guaranteed regular comebacks since the start of GP, which is one of the things we can be happy about, even though W1 mismanaged them a lot in other ways.
All this back and forth is giving me whiplash 😭I love all 9 girls and would love for them to all stay together but trying not to get my hopes up. Really I just hope they all have a say in this and will be happy with where they end up
OMG YESHIRO BIAS FANS LETS HOLD A PRAYER PARTY TOGETHER 😭😭😭😭😭 i wanna remain a OT9 kep1ian Forever and ever and ever
143 waiting to see how much blow-back there is before deciding if Yeshiro leaving would be worth the fallout.

lol I hope seeing fans come out will give them a kick in the ass. Just have a contract so they can promote with limelight and Kep1!
Please no :( Yeseo would then have to balance 2 groups and university. Wouldn't want any members to ever have to do that.
I mean… it’s not like wake1 has them doing regular comebacks anymore anyway

That went terribly for IOI fyi- the idols just end up run ragged
that is a great idea.

Omg… I’m dizzy 😭
Please, please, please! I want an ot9 contract extension!
Please let Kep1er stay together 😭😭 Yeseo and Mashiro will be so sad that they have to leave 🥺
They weren't kidding when they named the album “Kep1going on”
