The Agency Denies That Hyunjoo Left APRIL Due To Bullying: Nonsense Rumors!

JAKARTA - A post on the internet has shocked K-pop fans. On Sunday, February 28th, a user claiming to be the younger brother of ex-APRIL's Hyunjoo spoke up about the reason Hyunjoo left in 2016.

“It is said that Hyunjoo left the group because he wanted to act, but that's not true. She was bullied and ostracized by the team, so the agency sent a letter about how she left because she wanted to focus on acting and she was asked to write the letter”, read the post.

This person said, Hyunjoo kept getting negative comments and not a single APRIL member apologized.

On this day, Monday, March 1st, someone claiming to be Hyunjoo's schoolmate also made a post with the title “All APRIL members are perpetrators”. This post reads how APRIL members bully Hyunjoo.

Starting from Chaewon who made a distance between Somin and Hyunjoo, Naeun stole Hyunjoo's shoes and various other things. She also said the same thing as the previous post.

"If she left because she wanted to be an actor, she wouldn't be appearing in The Unit competition".

DSP Media as APRIL's agency shared the process of selecting Hyunjoo. Since the beginning, Hyunjoo wanted to be an actress but the DSP asked Hyunjoo to join the group. Until Hyunjoo left APRIL during Tinkerbell promotions.

“Since then we have always supported Hyunjoo's acting activities. We support her hopes of becoming an idol".

Closing their statement, DSP asked anyone not to spread baseless rumors.

Hyunjoo left APRIL in October 2016 and competed in the show The Unit. She entered the line-up of the Unit group and promoted until October 2018.
