On March 11, it was reported that 6 out of the 8 members (with the exception of Bian and Haena) are still currently undergoing a dispute with ANS Entertainment to terminate their contracts: the agency still holds the members within their agency despite having disbanded their group and cannot leave due to their contracts.
On September 17, it was reported that members had won the exclusive contract dispute with their agency, ANS Entertainment. The court has ruled in favor of the members in the lawsuit. However, ANS Entertainment submitted an appeal once again.
