In early November, fans were disheartened after it was reported that Sorn had left CLC after she ended her contract with their label Cube Entertainment. The news came following vocalists Elkie leaving the group and Yujin joining ‘Girls Planet 999’ because she claimed that Cube had dismissed CLC. Despite the uncertainty of the group’s future, we have happy news. On December 3, Sorn announced that she would be going solo and had signed an exclusive contract with Wild Entertainment Group.

Wild Entertainment was founded in 2020 and is a unique company set to unite the Eastern and Western entertainment industries with the help of different media platforms. With headquarters in South Korea and Los Angeles, fans can look forward to Sorn’s solo career going global. In fact, the company announced that Sorn was planning on transitioning as an artist who would cater to fans in Southeast Asia as well as North America.

Sorn plans to go international as a soloist

The K-pop idol first went solo with the release of her first single ‘Run’, which is in English. Released in March 2021, it in fact was produced by Wild Entertainment. In the past, Sorn had also collaborated with the likes of G.NA and Emily Mei, but that has been it for her solo career. But fans can expect something in the near future as it has been announced that Sorn is currently working on new music that is set to be released in early 2022.

Sorn was the lead vocalist of the popular third-gen girl group CLC. Known for her outgoing personality, fans wanted more from the entertainer. Unfortunately, CLC’s and the members’ individual activities were often curtailed which was probably one of the reasons why Elkie was the first member to leave. And with Yujin being inactive having joined ‘Girls Planet 999’s debut group Kep1er, fans are worried about the future of CLC, which currently has only 4 active members. But with Yujin and Sorn hinting that the group will not be promoting anymore, fans hope that the other members follow Sorn’s footsteps and go solo.

'So happy for you'

Happy fans congratulated Sorn on the news of her going solo. One fan tweeted, "I wish you much success and happiness. I have been with you since the pre-debut and I will continue to accompany you on this new path. It's time to shine brighter than ever! I love you very much!" Another added, "Bestie, so happy for you. And i am still waiting for the day you will guest in @daebakshow to talk about this new music and anything under the sun." One fan joked with Wild, "Yall be promoting sorn faster than cube has done for 6 yrs lmao." Another added, "LETS FREAKING GOOOO!!!!"
