On the 10th, when everglow.'s debut and account were made public in Japan, many net users pointed out that the group name and logo were similar to the Korean idol EVERGLOW. In response, the agency published an apology from the producer and the agency's representative through their official account on the 11th. First, producer Souichirou Yoshimura stated, 'We sincerely apologize for causing discomfort and trouble to many people regarding the name and logo design used by our idol group.' He explained, 'The word 'everglow' is something I have cherished personally for about ten years and have used in my activities, and we adopted the same name for the group launch. Regarding the logo design, we proceeded with the design while associating the 'ever' part with the infinity (∞) symbol, resulting in a similar design. It was not intended to be similar.' He also mentioned that they are 'promptly discontinuing the use of the problematic name and logo and are working on a new form.' The Korean girl group EVERGLOW debuted in 2019 as a six-member group and released songs like 'Bon Bon Chocolat' and 'LA DI DA.' However, in May of this year, their agency YUE HUA Entertainment announced the end of exclusive contracts with the members. Some reported it as a de facto disbandment, but members Sihyeon, Onda, Asha, and Iyu announced a fan meeting in Japan, dismissing the rumors.
