A-Pink member Hong Yookyung has decided to withdraw from the group.

A-Pink will choose a new member to  join the group in order to keep 7 members.

A-Pink plans to make a comeback this June with the new member.

Their agency stated, "Yookyung has made this decision because she wants to focus on her studies right now. We will choose a new member and keep the 7 member count of the group."

They also stated that they had thought long and hard about her decision and finally decided to let her go the path that she desires.

They also added that they hope that everyone can continue to support Yookyung, not as a member of A-Pink, but as a college student.
