'Club Visit'Tempest Gallery Eventually Exits Team..Agency 'Exclusive Contract Termination, Mutual Agreement'



Hwarang, a member of the group Tempest, will eventually leave after controversy over his privacy.

On the 11th, Yuehua Entertainment, the agency of Tempest, posted a notice titled 「Guidance on future activities of Hwarang」 on its official fan cafe.

The agency said "We have been in-depth discussions with Hwarang about future activities and career paths"After careful consideration, we mutually agreed to conclude our activities as a Tempest member and terminate our exclusive contract with us..." he said, announcing the withdrawal of the member's gallery.



He then said, `We ask for your support for Hwarang's future moves ahead of a new start, and we will sincerely support Hwarang's future.'

"We will respond strongly to the spread and speculation of false information toward our artists," he said. "We ask for a lot of attention and love from Tempest as well."



Earlier in February, the gallery was rumored to have witnessed the club.

During a video call fan signing event, one fan said "I saw Hwarang at the club" and Hwarang said "I went to the club but did nothing bad."," he replied.



Hwarang was born in 2001, and it is not a problem for adults to visit the club. However, in addition to the contents of the conversation, subtitles such as "Hwarang had a good time with other reason" were inserted in the video, causing controversy.

In response, the agency said "What was distributed is not true, and the gallery deeply reflects on the visit to the location. Since then, we have vowed not to repeat the same behavior, and we and Hwarang will take special care to prevent such behavior from happening again" he said.

Nevertheless, as the controversy did not subside, he eventually suspended his activities in March.

Meanwhile, Tempest is a seven-member multinational idol group that debuted in March 2022.
