The source added that Beast members were so keen to be separate from Cube Entertainment that they were “prepared” to forfeit the copyright of their songs and band name used under the former agency.
Beast decided not to renew its contract with Cube Entertainment after it ended on Oct. 15. Beast rejected Cube Entertainment’s offer to promise the boy band an independent label under the agency. Beast has remained independent without an agency since Oct. 15.
