Insiders have long pointed out that the idol and the agency had already made an agreement, but the agency had previously put off the confirmation stating that they were only in talks.

However, the confirmation has finally come today as B2M Entertainment announced, "Preparations for Nicole's solo album, which she has been quietly preparing for on her own, is set to officially kick off under the complete support of her new agency."

"Nicole has put her trust in CEO Gil Jong Hwa in terms of her contract conditions and negotiations, and we needed to prepare a deal that suits Nicole, who is receiving high popularity in South Korea, Japan, and all of Asia. We recently finished our preparations to support Nicole, and naturally signed a contract."

It has been reported that the idol chose B2M Entertainment because she prioritized an agency that understands her well enough to support her endeavors. She also had a connection with CEO Gil Jong Hwa from when they were both with DSP Media, and thus, this naturally led to her signing with her new agency.

Stay tuned for more information to come about her impending solo debut!
