Please change your article title by removing the word "formerly". As you can see, the official YouTube video title is Yuju(GFRIEND) in Korean. Please respect the original video title.
GFRIEND has been forced to leave their company, but they still refer to themselves as a group. So please respect the artists' wishes and do not use the word former.
Full email looks like this and the second part can be used to email other journalists in the future. Just a template, you can write your own if you want.

How the companies HYBE and Source Music mistreated, sabotaged, and lied about the girl group GFRIEND, and are now trying to take the group name from the artists.
The unlawful contract termination and the GFRIEND trademark problem explained. (A thread)
This will also cover how HYBE and Weverse scammed money from customers, leaked their private information, and still refuses to return money that they owe customers.
HYBE and Source Music abruptly terminated GFRIEND’s contract without discussion on 22 May 2021.
This was announced on Weverse on 18 May, oddly on the same day Source Music was supposed to release a GFRIEND video and more content.
A thread showing evidence that Gfriend was actually terminated months before their contract expires, without discussion.
And why the companies Hybe and Source lied to the public with false news about "extensive discussion", "contract expiry" and "Gfriend choosing not to renew".
Hybe lied to the public about ‘extensive discussion’, contract nonrenewal/expiry, and that it was Gfriend’s choice.
The truth is that there was no discussion and Gfriend had no idea their termination was going to be announced on 18th May.
Gfriend’s 7 year contract is supposed to expire in November 2021, about 6 months later from May 2021.
And yet the company made it seem as if it was supposed to expire in May 2021. Not even close.
