Translation of Tempest Hwarang Hiatus Statement
Hello, this is Yuehua Entertainment.
We would like to inform you about the future activities of TEMPEST.
Hwarang has been having in-depth discussions with us about future activities in the issues related to personal privacy known through SNS. In the process, the member Hwarang failed to regain trust, and we decided that it would be difficult to continue the activities of the entire team under such circumstances. After much consideration, the company decided to temporarily suspend the activities of the member Hwarang.
Therefore, the TEMPEST 5th MINI ALBUM [TEMPEST Voyage] activity will be conducted with 6 people excluding Hwarang. We ask for your understanding that there may be some filming of Hwarang only for pre-shooting and production, and we apologize again for the sudden news that caused concern to our fans.
Please refrain from making groundless speculations and making reckless accusations, and we ask for your warm support and encouragement for the TEMPEST members who are about to perform [TEMPEST Voyage]. We will also do our best to support TEMPEST.
Thank you.
