On the 16th, Crea Studios was not notified in advance of the application for provisional disposition and first recognized the relevant facts through media reports"The two cast members have repeatedly asked for meetings since they texted about a month ago to announce their intention to leave the team, but have refused to do so", he explained.
The two cast members did not participate in the official schedule such as the camp that took place afterwards, and the production team recognized the seriousness of the situation and continued dialogue and persuasion efforts," he added.
He also strongly refuted the allegations that he was forced to engage in activities in Southeast Asia. Crea Studios said "Underpiptin"* The final debut group includes global members from overseas as well as Korean members."It is true that they have reviewed content transmission with their native broadcasters, but they have never forced or forced their activities in a specific country (such as Southeast Asia)," he stressed.
In addition, "The production team has been trying to find broadcasting opportunities to ease children's frustration since the broadcast was canceled, and has only considered broadcasting overseas as one of the alternatives to creating global idols."
In particular, the expression "Forcing Southeast Asian Activities" is a malicious distortion that denigrates the dreams and efforts of young participants in the program, he said. "We will respond strongly to reports and speculation that are different from the facts."
Earlier, the actors A and B of Underpiptin filed a provisional injunction against Crea Studios in the Seoul Western District Court to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract. After the failure of domestic broadcasting, the production company urged overseas activities and took legal action, claiming infringement of the right to learn and emotional pressure.
Meanwhile, 'Underpiptin' is a global audition project for girls under the age of 15, and even before the broadcast, the broadcast was canceled due to excessive directing and conceptual controversy for minors.

Proposal for suspension of validity of the exclusive contract is filed by the performers of 'Underpiptin'
"Underpiptin" The production team learned about the cast's request for provisional injunction after receiving an article on the morning of the day and has not yet received any notification.
However, the two cast members of 'Underpiptin' have rejected dozens of requests from the crew to meet before, and about a month ago, they notified the crew of their unilateral team exit via text. Since then, the two cast members have not joined any related schedules, including the camp.
The production team of `Underpiptin' tried everywhere to find a way to release the show to reduce the frustration that children would feel after the broadcast failed, but the road was repeatedly blocked. In particular, the final debut group of 'Under Fifteen', which was formed to create a global idol, includes not only Korean members but also members who came to realize their dreams abroad. Accordingly, the production team has been looking for a way to transmit broadcasts from their countries for foreign members at the production company level. I would like to inform you that it was only a broadcast effort for global members, but the production team never mentioned activities such as Southeast Asia.
Forcing children to engage in Southeast Asian activities is a malicious article that tramples the dreams of the broadcast 'Underpiptin' and the young participants who participated in it. Please refrain from unverified facts or speculation. I will respond legally to provocative articles.
