Younha frustrated as new song details leak through KBS

Singer Yoonha voiced her sense of helplessness after her new song, which she had been preparing in secret, was first revealed through KBS.

On Wednesday, Yoonha posted on her social media, "What's the point of keeping it a secret? In the end, it's KBS… (unable to finish the sentence)."

Earlier that morning, KBS announced through its "Music Review Results" that both the Japanese and Korean versions of Yoonha's new song, "Desperate Desperation" (The only manuscript), had been deemed eligible in the review.

This revealed that Yoonha personally handled the lyrics and arrangement, and also participated in the composition alongside JEWNO (Son Jun-ho).

As information about her new song was unexpectedly disclosed through an unforeseen channel, Yoonha expressed her frustration. At the same time, she drew attention by sharing her contemplation on whether she should seriously include the review process in her teaser schedule.

News of Yoonha's new song attracted further attention as it came amid ongoing legal disputes with her former agency, C9 Entertainment, where she had been affiliated for 14 years, over settlement issues.

Previously, on the 26th of last month, Yoonha announced the termination of her exclusive contract with her former agency, C9 Entertainment. Yoonha's side stated that they had requested the agency to rectify the long-standing issue of unpaid settlement funds, but as it remained unresolved, they notified the agency of contract termination in September. It was reported that the effect of the contract termination took place on September 14.

Along with this, Yoonha also filed a lawsuit claiming settlement funds of approximately 950 million won.

At the time, while announcing the end of her exclusive contract on her social media, Yoonha said, "I plan to resolve the remaining issues within the procedures established by law."

She continued, "Although unwelcome events have occurred, I will sort things out one by one and come to meet you all. Thank you for waiting, and I will surely repay you with good music and performances." She added, "I am fine."

Yoonha first debuted in Japan in 2004 and has continued her activities in both Korea and Japan, receiving much love for songs such as "Password 486," "Waiting," and "Event Horizon."
