Despite the accident, Nam Gyu-Ri reattached her strap and continued performing. Less than 24 hours after the incident, it became a debated topic in the media.

In April 2009, Core Contents Media, SeeYa's management company, announced that Nam Gyu-ri had violated the terms of her contract and therefore was no longer part of SeeYa; the company also stated that they would potentially take legal action against Nam.

Yet in 2011, Nam Gyuri returned to SeeYa to promote the band's final album before they officially disbanded in January 30, 2011.
