We would like to start by sincerely thanking all of the TREASURE MAKERS for their love and support towards Treasure.

We mutually agreed to end the contracts between the two and YG Entertainment after a protracted and thoughtful discussion with Mashiho and Bang Yedam.

We are devastated by the departure of Mashiho and Bang Yedam since they have been a part of TREASURE from the beginning, and we know that all of the fans have been waiting for them. Please continue to lend Mashiho and Bang Ye Dam your support.
