Soyeon of (G)I-DLE Shares Solo Dining Experience Amidst Contract Renewal Buzz

Soyeon, a member of the popular K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE, recently shared a glimpse of her solo dining experience.

On November 2nd, Soyeon posted a video on her Instagram story without any caption. The video shows her preparing a meal in her apartment, where she appears to be cooking a small portion of pork belly in a frying pan. The modest amount of food caught the attention of fans, as the pieces of pork belly were notably small.

Meanwhile, Soyeon made headlines last August during (G)I-DLE's solo concert with her bold lyrics, "Do I have to care about what others think?" and "Contract ends in November. Who can stop me?" This stirred discussions about her contract renewal. At the '2024 MAMA Awards,' she further fueled the conversation with a rap that included, "Whether it's contract termination or the company, I'll handle it. If I were affected by such things, I wouldn't have made it this far."

Amidst the speculation and concern among fans, Soyeon reassured everyone on November 30th at the '2024 Melon Music Awards.' She addressed the rumors by stating, "There were many articles saying that (G)I-DLE would disband because my contract ended. But it's not just me; all five of us have decided to renew our contracts together." Her announcement was met with applause from fans and fellow artists present at the event.
