T-ara's Areum has left her team.
According to a media outlet on the 10th, T-ara's agency Core Contents Media stated, "Areum had always wanted to pursue hip hop music and she made it clear that she would like to show off a new side of herself by going solo."
It was said that the agency held discussions and confirmed Areum going solo. T-ara will therefore be going back to six-member composition comprising of Qri, Boram, Soyeon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon.
Meanwhile, T-ara's 6 members will be heading to Japan for their upcoming concert at Tokyo's Budokan.
