YG Entertainment’s statement.

“Hello, This is YG Entertainment.

After a long and careful discussion with Lee Hi, whose contract is due to expire, we decided to support each other’s future in our different paths.

Since winning as a runner-up on SBS’ “K-pop Star Season 1” in 2011, Lee has grown into “Next-generation Female vocalist” with her signature voice and singing skills after signing a contract with YG Entertainment in 2012.

We will always cheer for Lee Hi, who built her own unique sphere as an artist for YG for the past seven years.

Please give more support to Lee Hi’s future activities.
