On 30 September 2015, T3 Entertainment did not allow YD Online to renew its contract. This decision was made in order to allow T3's subsidiary HanbitSoft the ability to publish "Audition Online". YD Online held the databases to "Audition" in South Korea however which prompted a server wipe. HanbitSoft however rewarded players with free CASH, cheaper CASH shop items, an exclusive indefinite outfit and more frequent updates. On 1 October, HanbitSoft was officially the publisher of "Audition Online" and Hanbiton was the official publisher of "Audition" in Korea.
