On October 25, one exclusive report claimed that PRISTIN member Xiyeon has decided to terminate her contract with her label Pledis Entertainment.

Shortly after the report, Pledis Entertainment stepped up to clarify, "The rumors of PRISTIN's Xiyeon terminating her contract are absolutely false. She is still very much a part of Pledis, and is practicing diligently"
It's unclear where the rumors started, as the PRISTIN member who is currently on hiatus is Kyla, not Xiyeon. Meanwhile, PRISTIN's latest promotions took place back in may of this year, with their first unit group PRISTIN V.

I will say this, something is up with Pristin; I don't know whether it's because they are preparing to comeback or because of some other drama but they have been radio silent for a couple of months now with the exception of Rena who did a very short Vlive on her birthday.
Pledis get's a bad rap for not promoting their artists which is mostly a meme rather than a fact, lately they have put on a lot of staff going from about 50 last year to 90 today and quite a few were in multimedia positions and Pledis has really upped it's game when it comes to social media posts which any fan of Seventeen, NU'EST and yes even Fromis_9 and IZ*ONE can attest. (And yes I know the last two are under Off the Record but their trainers, managers, and the people handling their promotions are still Pledis.)
But Pristin suddenly went off the air, they were doing posts/video's on average of 2-3 a week like clockwork then at the end of July they just stopped until Rena's birthday vlive on the 19th this month, this is very strange considering every other group that's active hasn't had any drop off of activity, something is definitely up even if this particular rumour is false.
