On August 11th, a representative of Star Empire stated, "Rana and Bini have left the group after making a mutual agreement with the company. Both of them wanted individual activities." He continued, "Nine Muses will promote as a unit group right now because we have plans to add two more members and promote fully as a nine-membered group." According to Star Empire, both Rana and Bini are preparing to continue on with their solo activities. In fact, Rana is currently a MC for a cable program and is pursuing her career in the entertainment industry. Initially, Nine Muses made a debut last year with members Sera, Hyemi, Eunji, Sam, Jaekyung, Minha, Erin, Bini, and Rana with their track, "No Playboy". They gathered much attention for their average height of 172cm, and even received the nickname "Model-dols (Model+Idol)" because the group's members were like supermodels. Meanwhile, the seven-member unit will be making a comeback with the release of their digital single on August 18th, before beginning their promotions. Source: Star News via Nate
