Former Lovelyz Mijoo Departs from Woollim Entertainment and Signs with Antenna
Back on November 10, media outlets reported that Lovelyz member Mijoo was in talks to sign with Antenna, an agency founded by "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" host and singer Yoo Hee Yeol.
The reports came in light of Mijoo's exclusive contract with Woollim Entertainment as a Lovelyz member coming to an end on November 16, with five out of the six members of the group set to depart the label and eventually disbanding Lovelyz.
At the time, media outlets have also reported that Mijoo's discussion on joining Antenna was on a positive note, with the agency only responding to the reports by confirming that Antenna's representatives have met up with Mijoo, yet nothing was confirmed.
After much speculation, Antenna finally announced that Mijoo has signed an exclusive contract with the agency on November 17 KST through their social media.
