Juri will leave Rocket Punch and the girl group will continue its activities with five members.
 
Rocket Punch's agency, Woollim Entertainment, said Friday in a statement released in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese that Juri "is a foreign member and has a different contract period with the members."
 
"As of today [May 24], she has terminated her management contract with us. However, we will continue to support each other's future wherever we are,” the statement said. 
 
The agency thanked Juri and her fans for supporting the member.  
 
Rocket Punch will continue its group activities as a five-member group, according to Woollim Entertainment. 
 
Rocket Punch debuted as a six-member girl group in August 2019 with its first EP "Pink Punch." Members Juri, Suyun and Sohee joined Mnet's 2018 girl group audition program "Produce 48." Rocket Punch is known for its songs "Bim Bam Bum" (2019), "Bouncy" (2020) and "Boom" (2023).
