On 28 November 2023, idol announced the termination of Riro Ron's activities due to multiple violations of her contract. These were stated to be the "misuse of controlled substances during livestream performances", soliciting fans for private offline meetings during member-only streams, accepting thousands of dollars worth of gifts from a fan during an offline meeting, and secretly conducting a relationship with a member of idol management, who was also fired. kyOresu posted a message following the announcement, saying "I was as shocked to see the notice as you are. There is an insane amount of speculation going on, but unfortunately I can't clarify things because of an NDA. I wish I could talk about all this publicly with pure honesty and actual transparency. I'll say one thing though - I am extremely disappointed and have nothing to apologize for. Thank you al for your patience during this time, I missed all of you as much as you missed me. We will be so back."

Her channel will be deleted on 1 January 2024. This marked the first retirement of idol's EN branch.
