Netizens are shocked and furious after four members of the girl group ME:I announced they were leaving without any explanation.

On December 22, netizens were shocked to learn that members Cocoro, Ran, Shizuku, and Kokona had all left the group and terminated their contract with the company Lapone Entertainment.

When the announcement was made, netizens were shocked and confused by the fact that four members had chosen to leave at the same time, hitting back at the company and the lack of explanation for the sudden decision.

lapone should be ashamed of themselves because how the fuck do you treat a group so poorly that 4/11 members at once decide to leave https://t.co/XBW96ElNQZ
