BREAKING
[BREAKING] CCM announces Hwayoung will leave T-ara


T-ara's parent company Core Contents Media announced today that one of its members, Hwayoung, will be leaving the group.

CCM's CEO, Kim Kwang Soo, announced the departure in a press release written by the president himself. "In deference to the complaints by T-ara's staff of 19 people (5 stylists, 7 hair & makeup, 5 on-site managers, 2 team managers), Hwayoung's contract as an artist will be voided effective immediately with no conditions."

Kim Kwang Soo denied any correlation with the recent controversy that erupted following tweets from the T-ara members that were interpreted by many as one-sided bullying against Hwayoung. "We wish to impress upon the fact that this has nothing to do with the 'bullying' reports surrounding T-ara," CCM said. "Although the staff of Core Contents Media stayed up into early morning discussing with the T-ara members who all wanted to stay with Hwayoung, we apologize in saying that we could not forsake the arguments of the staff members."

"We deeply apologize for the many incidents which made everyone who loved T-ara nervous and worried, and we have nothing but sadness to convey such an unsettling incident on their third anniverary. We also apologize again to the T-ara members and wish Hwayoung all the best as a powerful rapper," CCM continued, "since Hwayoung has great potential as a rapper we decided to end her contract without conditions and we believe that she will grow into the future as a free artist."

Hwayoung was with T-ara for 20 months, leaving original members Boram, Qri, Eunjung, Soyeon, Hyomin, and Jiyeon, as well as new member Ahreum.
