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.

[4] 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.

[6][7] Her new management company, Eyagi Entertainment, has confirmed that Nam would pursue a solo career in both acting and singing.

[8] Despite the fact that Nam stated she would not pursue her singing career as a solo singer, she managed to contribute in Ivy's comeback album "I Be.." in 2009.

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