A representative of CJ ENM has stepped up to respond to earlier reports, which claimed that the agency was facing issues in finalizing the release contracts with some members.

According to CJ ENM on January 21, "We have already finished negotiations with all of the members' agencies that the album would be released on January 27. It's true that with some of the members and their agencies, there are a handful of administrative matters still in the process of being finalized, but we will do our best to complete the negotiations by the album's release date."

If CJ ENM fulfills the above statement, then Wanna One's 'Beautiful Part. 3' album will be released as scheduled on January 27 at 6 PM KST.
