YG Entertainment has officially announced the debut of their new group, TREASURE.

On the 6th, YG released a statement on their official blog, saying, "We sincerely apologize to the fans who have waited a long time for TREASURE's debut," providing details regarding the debut.

First, after being selected through "TREASURE BOX," it was planned for them to promote together again, and all members have been unified into one group, "TREASURE," without any team divisions.

YG asked for the fans' understanding, stating it was a "careful decision to focus more on TREASURE's successful debut and growth."

Second, TREASURE members will actively participate in writing and composing music themselves. Many songs that the members voluntarily worked on over the past few months have received high praise.

Third, YG announced that they have terminated their exclusive contract with TREASURE member Ha Yoonbin as of December 31, 2019. This decision was made to respect Ha Yoonbin's opinion and will, as his musical direction seemed to lean more towards solo activities than group promotions.

YG stated, "TREASURE, reorganized as a 12-member group, plans to release new content through various channels starting in January," and added, "We will do our best to provide all support for a successful debut and active music promotions."
