They are contractually banned from solo promotions or doing any activity outside the ones scheduled for them by the company.
UNCORE reminded them of the clauses of the contract through the official warning. As per the statement, the members "would not be allowed to engage in activities outside the project group without prior approval from UNCORE." The notice revealed being aware of one of the group members' breach of contract, however, they did not reveal his identity.
As per the contract, the company can even legally sue the K-pop idol in question for such activities. The label stated, "The Agency's intentional interference with Close Your Eyes activities constitutes a breach of contract, unfair competition, and illegal actions, and we will take all necessary legal measures."
