RBW Issues Statement Regarding MAMAMOO Hwasa's Contract Expiration in June
In an official statement, RBW, the agency of MAMAMOO, revealed an update regarding Hwasa's upcoming contract expiration in June.
On May 23, JTBC News exclusively reported that Hwasa's exclusive contract with her agency RBW is about to expire in June, drawing keen attention to her future course of action.
Following the report, MOOMOOs (MAMAMOO fandom) expressed their curiosity whether the idol will renew or enter the free-agency market.

As a response, an official from the agency RBW said in a phone call with TopStarNews on the same day:
"Hwasa's contract period has not yet ended. MAMAMOO is currently conducting a US tour, and we are coordinating whether she will renew the contract."
MAMAMOO, which debuted in 2014, made their name with numerous hits such as "Decalcomanie," "Starry Night," "You're the Best," HIP" and more.
However in June 2021, members Solar, Moonbyul and Hwasa renewed their contract with RBW (except member Wheein). Hwasa only signed for two more years, while Solar and Moonbyul for three years.
Wheein since then moved to THE L1VE, but continues as a member of the group.
MAMAMOO Hwasa's Remark Draws Attention Amid Contract Renewal Discussion With RBW
Meanwhile, Hwasa, who will appear on tvN's new entertainment show "Dancing Queens on the Road" on May 25, drew attention after her remark during the production presentation.
At the event with the press, Hwasa revealed:
"In fact, I have found myself gradually losing interest in the stage these days. I'm a person who loves the stage so much, but I don't know until recently. I came to this show, "Dancing Queens on the Road" perhaps because I lost interest, but I'm looking at my old self again. So I was so happy while I'm doing this show."
When asked about her plan if she hadn't joined the program, Hwasa drew attention by saying:
“I think I would have been polishing myself somewhere in the mountains. But being with the seniors through this program makes me feel like I’m sharing positive energy.”
With this, fans are focused on the idol's next step following the show as a MAMAMOO member and soloist.
Meanwhile, "Dancing Queens on the Road" is a program that tells the story of the nation's best female artists, who have inherited the lineage of dance singers, touring the country, going into people's daily lives, meeting various fans, and enjoying together.
The first episode will premiere at 10:30 p.m. KST on May 25.
