MADEIN Yeseo Suhye activity suspension: Group to pivot to 4-member system amid ex-CEO probe
143 Entertainment confirms MADEIN Yeseo Suhye activity suspension. The group will continue as 4 members while an investigation into the former CEO's sexual assault continues.
The future of the rising girl group MADEIN hangs in the balance. 143 Entertainment has officially announced that members Yeseo and Suhye have suspended their activities. The group, which once stood as a larger ensemble, will now proceed with just 4 members as the agency grapples with an ongoing criminal investigation involving its former CEO.
MADEIN Yeseo Suhye activity suspension and lineup changes
According to the official statement released on January 7, 2026, MADEIN will continue promotions with Mashiro, MiU, Serina, and Nagomi. Suhye had already been on an indefinite hiatus for several months, and Yeseo's withdrawal from active promotion leaves the group without its prominent Korean members. This shift follows a period of intense fan boycotts triggered by earlier scandals.
Ongoing investigation into ex-CEO Lee Yong Hak
The sexual assault investigation into former CEO Lee Yong Hak is reportedly still active. While 143 Entertainment claims they will fulfill their responsibilities based on the findings, the atmosphere remains tense. Allegations suggest that the ex-CEO even wrote an apology letter to Gaeun previously, yet his continued presence near the group has fueled distrust among the global K-pop community.
