Just a week ahead of the release date, it has been confirmed that the contract for the release of the song still hasnŌĆÖt been completed. According to Edaily, CJ ENM has not signed a contract with the agencies of some members of Wanna One for the release of ŌĆ£Beautiful(PART III).ŌĆØ Just last month, the act reunited at the 2021 MAMA, where they performed their new song ŌĆ£Beautiful (Part III)ŌĆØ for the first time. This song is a continuation of ŌĆ£Beautiful,ŌĆØ released in 2017, and ŌĆ£Beautiful (Part II),ŌĆØ released in 2018. Earlier this month, CJ ENM officially confirmed the songŌĆÖs release on January 27th. And since itŌĆÖs the day that Wanna One wrapped up their activities, the release of ŌĆ£Beautiful(PART III)ŌĆØ came even more meaningful to the fans.
However, if all the members donŌĆÖt sign the contract, the plan to release the track will be scrubbed. It seems like CJ ENMŌĆÖs decision to announce the news too early has only worsened the situation. If the issues with the contract donŌĆÖt settle, itŌĆÖs possible that the release of ŌĆ£Beautiful(PART III)ŌĆØ will either be postponed or canceled. In this regard, CJ ENM stated, ŌĆ£We have reached an oral agreement on the release of the song, but the administrative process still remains. To establish the correct process, we are currently inspecting things based on our compliance standards. And if necessary, we will take proactive measures.ŌĆØ
