How audition project groups are contracted

UNIS was designed from the start for members chosen on a TV audition to work together for a set period. The contract ran two and a half years, and the agency said it chose to end activities as planned rather than extend.

F&F Entertainment's statement said that after thorough discussion it had decided to conclude official full-group activities in line with the planned contract period, with members pursuing their own next steps.
