Soyeon's Departure from T-ara
In March 2017, K-pop group T-ara announced Thursday that Soyeon and Boram will not be renewing their contracts after they expire in May of the same year.
Boram and Soyeon's contracts expired on May 15, 2017. Meanwhile, the remaining members have extended their contracts until the end of December 2017.
However, Soyeon and Boram continued working with the group until June 2017, according to the agency.
T-ara began their group career in July 2009 with the EP "Lies," which was followed by their first studio album "Absolute First Album." The girls enjoyed several hits, including "Bo Peep Bo Peep," "You Drive Me Crazy" and "Roly-Poly."
The girl group went through its greatest crisis when its member, Hwayoung, left the group amid rumors that she was victimized by the bullying of her fellow members.
Because of this, T-ara members dropped out of television programs and other entertainment activities. They instead went to seek a broader market overseas.
