Since leaving RBW in August 2021, Wheein has been active with THE L1VE LABEL. During her exclusive contract, she mainly pursued solo activities and presented new music. While the general public seems surprised at the news, fans feel as though they saw the separation coming.
i knew for a fact that itm was her last straw. what happened during that whole promo was riling. imagine releasing a full album and struggle to even get to music shows (which is the bare fvckin mininum) wheein knows she deserves better and i'm super happy abt that

Lucky that Wheein has been really happy these day so I have nothing to worry. She has been working hard and always talks positively about her future music. I will continue to believe and have high expectations for the future Wheein.

Multiple posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) show fans complaining about the lack of promotional activities secured for Wheein by THE L1VE, which undoubtedly caused frustration.
So it’s either Wheein already signed up with a new company & we’ll get the announcement this week or she’ll be an independent artist atm but whatever it is, I’m not worried anymore seeing how she has conquered so much in the past years. No way but to keep soaring high 🙏🏻🙌🏻🐶🦋✨
