Career

In April 2009, Core Contents Media, SeeYa's management company, announced that Nam Gyu-ri had violated the terms of her contract by refusing to perform her engagements as a member of SeeYa; the company also stated that it would potentially take legal action against Nam.[2] Although the company later announced that she would return, it was eventually revealed that the issues could not be fully resolved, and Nam left again.[1] In leaving the group permanently, Nam released a statement through her lawyers in which she said that she "could not possibly" return to SeeYa. In the statement, Nam announced that the reason for her departure was that she was more interested in pursuing an acting career than singing. Because it was impossible to pursue both paths, she had decided that she needed to give up working with the group.[3] For this reason, she declined offers from all record companies that were interested in recruiting SeeYa, and would henceforth make a new beginning as an actor and not a singer.[4]

Shortly after finding new management, however, Nam resumed her singing career as a solo artist.[5][6] Her new management company, Eyagi Entertainment, has confirmed that Nam would pursue a solo career in both acting and singing.[7] Despite the fact that Nam stated she wouldn't pursue her singing career as a solo singer, she managed to contribute in Ivy's comeback album "I Be.." in 2009.[8]

In 2011, Nam returned to SeeYa temporarily during the group's promotion of its final album. SeeYa officially disbanded on January 30, 2011.

In 2014, Nam signed with SidusHQ, one of South Korea's most famous talent agencies.[9]

In November 2018, Nam signed with new agency KORTOP Media, founded by veteran drama producer Go Dae-hwa.[10]
