SulSul 101

***SulSul 101*** (술술 101) was a 2016 group survival reality show on K-Sims Network. It was a large-scale project in which the public "produces" a unit group by choosing members from a pool of 101 trainees from 38 entertainment companies as well as the group's concept, debut song, and group name. The format is noted for having no panel of judges, employing audience participation to make decisions, as well as for starting with a very large number of competitors, 101, narrowing that number down to the final 11. Produced by K-Sims Entertainment for K-Sims Network, the show had the second-largest budget of all shows broadcast by the latter at approximately $2.7 million.

Following the contract issues of the season 1 winners K-Sims Entertainment put both groups into hiatus and put all music videos and concept photos into what has become known as "The Vault" and hasn't been released since.

## Contract Issues, Lawsuits and 'The Vault'

Six months after SOS started promotions members Cora, Dahye and Chaeyoung filed a lawsuit to get out of their contracts with K-Sims Entertainment. According to their shared official statement 'All three are Independent and had no official company prior to signing to K-Sims Entertainment for SOS promotions. They signed not realizing just how unfair their contracts were compared to the other members that had a company representing them. They asked multiple times since the groups debut for a contract change but was denied every time. They wished to stay in the group until the end but because of their contracts they felt they were giving up more then they were getting back and felt it was only fair they either get new contract deals or let out of their current ones.'

Three months after that WannaSul (season two winners) was announced and shortly later it was announced that SulSul 101 and the groups would be put on hiatus until all contractual issues could be resolved. If they could continue the groups with the original members for the planned two years then they would if not they would move on to the next season of the show.

On March 25, 2018 it was revealed that the original SOS members would hold one final concert as a group before officially disbanding. It was also announced that preparations for WannaSul's debut was back on and that if everything went as planned they would officially debut them later that year.

Sometime in 2019 Nallia of Butterfly Effect announced that she and her other group members have left K-Sims Entertainment and that she was suing the company on behalf of her group, SOS, WannaSul and a few others. She revealed that the company kept all of their artists final projects and releases on a hard drive and would only release the music videos and photos if the artists met certain demands. Everyone in the company came to know this hard drive as 'The Vault' and the CEO at the time London Lee kept it in her safe at all times until needed. Nallia was suing to get control of 'The Vault' so she could release the contents and reveal everyone's hard work.
