nooo   though i'm not surprised. Out of all the members, she got the least solo activities. She also got injured a lot the past few comebacks. Hope she'd continue to promote with the rest of the group. I'm sure she still loves the group seeing how much she cried with the other members at their concert a few days ago

OMG she was my fave. 

I wonder if Real Love not doing so well had a part in her leaving.

Most likely newer contracts, where members will get a bigger cut of their earning. 

So if YooA still gets sent out for 99.9% of all variety activities, and Arin gets 90% of the CFs, you get peanuts.

WM's statement. It sounds like she is leaving the group to me... it wouldn't be surprising, WM had the same thing happen with B1A4 where Jinyoung and Baro left the company, said they were still discussing group activities, then said they wouldn't promote with B1A4 for the "time being", and they have never promoted with B1A4 again.

Remember that she was their visual and center in the group's early years and got paid dust. Probably a great business decision for her.

Wait I didn't notice their contract expiring????? I thought they're going to renew (again?).....

But hopefully she will have better career!

[Aegyo]

I will be devastated if the group disbands like please no.....it breaks my heart to see her leave

As it should be. You can't expect to get paid for someone else's work. But I would like to think her reason for leaving isn't so petty.

This isn't the same thing. It explicitly says she's leaving the group, stating that only 6 members will continue promoting as OMG.

Yes, what I was trying to say that WM does not have a policy of "they're in a different company but are part of the group" that is more common nowadays. They tried it with a previous group and it didn't work out. So Miracles who were hopeful that they could have OT7 Oh My Girl with Jiho in another company were being too hopeful given WM's track record, and their statement confirms it.

[pinkpanda_spirit]

yea she's also leaving the group

I always wondered why she lacks spotlight and individual promotion when she's Oh My Girl's face, visual and center. She's pretty much the group's Yoona imo except she's not given much individual activities and promotions. I mean she's one of the group's visuals, pretty to boot, outspoken, talkative and one of the funniest and most entertaining members on variety shows as well as great at being the group's spokesperson but she gets paid dust. 

Now I can't stop thinking the joke she made on Weekly Idol where she said she wants to go to SM. Not that it necessarily means that she wants to sign with SM (they were actually on the topic of her being a fan of Taeyeon and other SM idols), but it's like foreshadowing that she's wants to leave WM(while throwing shade at them) and sign elsewhere where she'd get better treatment. Like I said since she's like OMG's Yoona imo, if they were from SM, she'd already gotten many acting roles, mcing gigs and cf deals by now. Not that I think SM is the best company but they seem to manage their visual/center idols better compared to other companies, although they do have their fairshare of issues of neglecting and underpromoting the non-visuals/non-favorite/underrated idols.

Sad. She's one of my fave members. I didn't expect her to leave the group because Oh My Girl seem like a tight knit group that will stay together forever, so its pretty shocking to me. I'm glad she's getting lovecalls tho, this means she'll probably get hired and have activities asap. I think she'll probably continue her career as an actress. She'll do great job as an MC and radio dj as well.

Damn, I know they lost JinE already but I really felt like OT7 was here to stay, so sad.

All the best to her as well as the remaining members.
