CJ ENM clears the issue about the delay of release of Wanna One's "Beautiful Part 3" album. Rumors have it there is a problem with the boys' contract that affects their new LP.
There is said to be an issue concerning Wanna One members and CJ ENM. However, it looks like this problem has already been solved.
In a statement, via AllKpop, the agency's representative revealed they had already finished negotiations with all the members' agencies. With that being said, the album would be released on its scheduled date of Jan. 27.
The spokesman confirmed issues with some of the members and their agencies. Some administrative matters also need to be finalized. However, everything is now in process and nearing its finalization, promising they would do their best to complete the negotiations so that the album would be out on its given release date.
The "Produce 101" project boy group had delighted fans with their reunion after their disbandment in December 2018, per KpopStarz. They performed some of their hit songs together at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) and unveiled the unreleased album, "Beautiful Part 3."
It is the third and final song in the group's "Beautiful" album series. Sadly, Lai Kuan did not manage to join Wanna One's performance as he is currently promoting in China.
Anyhow, he still managed to join the making of their new album by recording his part of the song from his own studio and sending it to the production team. On Jan. 11, CJ ENM officially confirmed the coming of "Beautiful Part 3" on major music platforms.
The song is set to be out on Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. KST, but with the said arising issues, music industry officials revealed on Jan. 20 that there had been some setbacks. They noted that each of the 11 members' contracts to release the album had yet to be completed.
Anyhow, there is still a week left before the album's scheduled release comes. If all of Wanna One members fail to sign the contract for the special album's release, it may not be out on its said release date.
If it happens, it may disappoint Kang Daniel, Park Ji-hoon, Lee Dae-hwi, Kim Jae-hwan, Ong Seong-wu, Park Woo-jin, Lai Kuan-lin, Yoon Ji-sung, Hwang Min-hyun, Bae Jin-young and Ha Sung-woon's fans, knowing Jan. 27 is a special day for the Wannable. The group's final activity happened at their last concert on Jan. 24 to 27, 2019.
