Beloved 3rd-Gen Idol Finally Terminates Her Contract After 4-Year-Long Legal Dispute
After a prolonged legal battle lasting four years, popular singer Eyedi, now known as Nam Yujin, announced the termination of her contract with BaceCamp Studio, marking the end of a challenging chapter in her career.
The singer first entered the music scene in 2016 with a bang. Her debut single, “Sign” — which she penned herself — set the stage for a promising career. Her first album, Mix B (released in 2017), further cemented her status as a rising star in the South Korean music industry.
Beyond her music, Eyedi showcased her diverse talents on survival reality show Mix Nine, finishing fifth among female contestants — and later appeared on Studio Vibes in 2019, captivating audiences with her charm.
However, behind the scenes, Eyedi faced a tumultuous legal battle with her agency, BaceCamp Studio. The dispute — which spanned over four years — was a significant hurdle in her career, limiting her activities and visibility in the industry. Fans who had grown accustomed to her creative output and engaging presence were left wondering about her whereabouts and future endeavors.

I’m finally getting around to saying hello to everyone who hasn’t heard from me in a long time… I recently terminated my contract with BaceCamp Studio after about 4 years of litigation and we went our separate ways.

She apologized for the delay in communication, attributing it to the lawsuit that restricted her from speaking out sooner.
As I mentioned above, I was in the middle of a lawsuit, so I wasn’t in a position to comment!
