The members of boy band BTOB did not renew their exclusive contracts with their agency Cube Entertainment, the agency announced Monday, ending the 11-year relationship between the band and agency.

“We held thorough discussions with each member before the end of their second exclusive contracts,” Cube Entertainment said in a press release. “As a result, both parties agreed to not renew the contracts.”

“We truly support and root for the future and growth of the members even though our journey with them has ended,” the agency added.

"We also would like to show our gratitude toward the boy band's fans for supporting BTOB."
