MLD Entertainment has confirmed that two of the singers of the girl group, MOMOLAND, Taeha and Yeonwoo, will be leaving the group as of Nov. 30 (local time).
MOMOLAND has lost two of its members, Taeha and Yeonwoo, as of Nov. 30 (local time). The announcement that the women will be leaving the K-Pop group came via a statement from their music agency, MLD Entertainment. “We would like to make a statement regarding our performers, MOMOLAND, who are recognized as a six-member team,” the message began. “Taeha and Yeonwoo, who have been with MOMOLAND as a part of the team, are about to make a new start by leaving the team. Both Taeha and Yeonwoo have thought deeply about their career path for a long time and upon having enough time for their thoughts, have had much conversation with the company.”
Yeonwoo has been with MOMOLAND since the group first debuted in Nov. 2016. However, she has decided to pursue a different career path that music at this point. “While Yeonwoo has had deep affection for her MOMOLAND activities, she has decided that continuing together with her actress activities would be too much strain for both her team and herself, [so she’s leaving] the team and concentrating on her career as our actress [under MLD Entertainment],” the statement explained.
Meanwhile, Taeha joined the group in April 2017, along with another member, Daisy. MLD confirmed that Taeha will be making a “new start at a new place,” and said that “the company will fully support and encourage her new start as much as possible.” Daisy is still going through a “mutual discussion” with MLD Entertainment, regarding her placement in the group. For now, the group is functioning with its six other members: Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin and Nancy.
Remember when Taeha literally counted if there is 9 people on the screen while doing vlive and they realized that one is missing?
Now, everytime we're gonna count them.. they will never be 9. Momoland will never be a 9-member group again and that hurts.pic.twitter.com/s9hHKLvc4i
