Rin Penrose and four other Idol members are all graduating soon idol corpFive Idol members are graduating from the VTuber agency following Brave Group\u2019s acquisition, with all of them opting to become independent. As announced by Idol Corp on their official X\/Twitter account, five members are graduating in November 2024: Fuyo Cloverfield, Juna Unagi, Kattarina Qutie, Meica05, and Rin Penrose. Rin\u2019s exit is an especially big blow for Idol, being the agency\u2019s most popular VTuber with nearly 750,000 subscribers. The post confirmed, \u201cWe are sad to see them go, but we deeply respect the decision of Kattarina Qutie, Fuyo Cloverfield, Juna Unagi, Rin Penrose, and Meica05 to pursue their paths independently,\u201d before revealing that a \u201cdedicated farewell stream\u201d will be hosted before they leave. Rather than expecting those graduating to buy back their IP and model, Idol will instead take an unspecified percentage of each talent\u2019s revenue for one year, with the intellectual property being transferred to the graduated members once this period ends. Idol claims that this strategy has been implemented to ensure talents can \u201ccontinue to grow their careers,\u201d regardless of their financial situation when they depart. While exact figures are hard to come by and vary between companies, buying back an IP would likely cost each talent thousands of dollars. These five graduations follow Brave Group\u2019s acquisition of Idol on August 1. Brave Group is a big player in the VTuber space, owning the likes of V4Mirai, VSPO!, and globie, as well as being affiliated with legendary duo HimeHina. After the takeover was announced, Idol allowed existing members to walk away from the company and become independent. While most talents turned down this opportunity, the aforementioned five will be moving on. Once these five VTubers graduate in November 2024, only eight of Idol EN\u2019s existing members will remain. However, four Idol ES members are also staying, and a further four EN members are set to debut later this year in Generation 3. While Generation 3 was originally set to debut anytime now, their first streams have been pushed back to October to \u201censure the highest quality debuts,\u201d so fans will have to wait a little longer to learn more about Idol\u2019s next wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
