Tymee’s post regarding leaving her company [Translated]

Tymee recently released a new single! Listen here [Unofficial] But PLEASE consider buying it, the links are available here. (I will try to announce when international options are available).

On the same day as the release Tymee made a lengthy Instagram post stating she has left her agency. Here is the entire post (roughly) translated:

[Company announcement]

My contract with ONO Entertainment has expired and will not be renewed.

The single album ‘Would You Like / Space-Like’ released today. I have left the company and started working as an independent artist. ^^

Some of you may have already heard about this in the article [referring to an article on naver], but I hope my friends and fans aren’t too shocked by the sudden news.

I was thankful that I was offered to renew my contract before it expired.

However it has been a dream of mine for a long time to work independently but also wanted to keep a good relationship with ONO Ent.

Although I have not renewed the contract I will keep a close relationship with ONO Ent’s in producing, directing and training the trainees at the company.

I started with very strong harmony, since then, four years have passed and Outsider has had resolute belief in me and shown understanding in many situations I faced,

I want to express my undying gratitude to you, thank you for your kindness and patience. Thank you for helping me through hard times and I am sorry for putting you through tough situations as well.

- 2Tak, Sapo, Gu JaMyeong, Twin9, All of you are all amazing people and so hard working, I know you will continue to make great music,

I will cheer for you and want you show me more and more great music.

I am eternally grateful to all my fans, especially those in 'Timing,’ a fanclub that has shown me unwavering support, through thick and thin,

I will continue to improve and upgrade my music.

Sometimes extreme, sometimes calm and relaxing, no-matter what kind of music it is I want to continue to make it forever.

Looking forwards, I will focus on making my first album as an independent artist,

In the meantime, I will also be trying to make music that I’ve wanted to make for some time, free from any restrictions. In addition I want to broaden my skills as an artist in artwork, production, and vocals, I will try my best to continue to improve as an artist.

Going forward, please share enthusiasm and interest in me as an independent artist. ^^ Thank you!!

So overall, sad to see her parting ways from Outsider’s label but it is great to see her leave on such good terms and with strong ties to trainees. I look forward to hearing more music in Tymee’s future, whatever it may sound like!
