MBC‘s latest hit weekend variety “King of Mask Singer” clarified why f(x)‘sLuna will not be part of their upcoming special album.

On May 31, the show will be releasing a special album consisting of selected songs from the program via digital music site Bugs Music. They decided to release the album after a high demand from the viewers of the show.

The album will consist of 10 songs from participants like Jang Hye Jin, Jin Joo, Sandeul of B1A4, Lee Jong Won, Changmin of 2AM, and Secret‘sSong Ji Eun.

However, questions arose when Luna, who won the first and the second title as the King of Mask Singer, was not included in the revealed track list.

Regarding Luna’s absence from the project, MBC told the media on May 29, “Luna did sing on the stage of the show, but to release the recording, we have to reach an agreement with the singer. In Luna’s case, her agency is preparing a single of their own, so they have declined to be on this album.”

They further promised that few of the songs from upcoming episodes will be released simultaneously with the episodes.

Note: i’m not sure what they mean by ‘preparing a single of their own’ since Luna has already released one for the show. I read the original article and it’s just as ambiguous..
