Hwayoung is no longer a T-ara member!


T-ara's agency has revealed Hwayoung will be leaving T-ara.

Core Contents Media's CEO Kim Kwangsoo revealed today.

Kim Kwangsoo said, " I've gathered feedback from 19 people (including five stylists and seven make-up artists, five on-site managers and two group managers) and I came to the decision to terminate Hwayoung's career as a singer."

Kim Kwangsoo said on the background of the announcement, "T-ara as a group and their teamwork has already been tainted by the talks of a member being excluded and bullied. Because of this, what's said will be overlooked. Core Contents Media staff and I have listened to the opinions of T-ara and others since morning trying to find out the right thing to do, and many people have suffered because of this."

"Meanwhile, on behalf of T-ara, I'm sorry for burdening and putting the inconvenience upon fans. T-ara debuted three years ago and I'm sorry to have to announce the bad news on a third anniversary. Finally, the T-ara members wish that Hwayoung will find success as a great rapper."

Hwayoung joined T-ara 20 months ago, and T-ara will promote from now on as Boram, Qri, Hyomin, Soyeon, Jiyeon,  Eunjung and Areum. At the end of this year, a new member will also join them.
