Internationally acclaimed K-Pop soloist, Park Ye-eun, better known by her stage name HA:TFELT, has concluded her exclusive contract with the agency Amoeba Culture. Following the announcement of her departure, the idol shared a note with her fans.

The letter was a recollection of her journey over the last six years and the Pluhmm artist shared her experience with her agency and colleagues.

She wrote:

“Hello, this is HA:TFELT. Starting from 2023, the new year, I have come to part ways with Amoeba Culture, where I’ve been for the past five years and eight months…After I met Amoeba Culture, I learned so much from the moments we spent together and I was happy to have been with such good people.”

She continued:

“I will always remember the heart and warmth with which they were with me as colleagues and family so that I could exist solely as artist HA:TFELT, and love life as human Yeeun.”

The 1719 artist also shared her emotions on making a fresh start and her future plans without Amoeba Culture. She remarked that although a fresh start can be "scary," with the love and support of her fans, close friends, and family, she will be able to continue achieving her goals.

The letter further read:

“New beginnings are always scary, but I will also believe those who believe in and support me, and try to take another step forward. I will become an artist who learns and grows endlessly. Once again, I’d like to thank Amoeba Culture for being with me. I will return soon with new music. Thank you.”

After the dissolution of Wonder Girls in the early months of 2017, HA:TFELT severed her ties with her longtime agency, JYP Entertainment. In the latter half of the same year, she became a solo artist with Amoeba Culture.
