off topic but why did hyuna leave jyp?

FINALLY. FINALLY/ FINALLY!


our wild horse is coming back!

omg omg omg....
I wait for this group so so so long
and now its come out
so so so happy XDDD
I'm gonna die now lol
She my fav after So Hee
1 more day until 14~~~~
This group is really a secret
quite come out XDDDD
love love JYP's family ♥

i can't wait. i missed her




she left JYPE and went to cube which is a sister company of JYPE.. there's no difference really

^ CUBE is the sister company to JYPE. 2AM used to be signed under that company, but they moved back to JYPE. I'm sure Hyuna and her group will move back later on.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo happy our wild horse is coming back! This is just an amazing day for Wonder Girls fans. We have been waiting for a while now. I'm just happy JYPE never gave up on her

The family will finally be complete <3


Guys, she is NOT debuting tomorrow. They are only revealing the group's name and the members' names.

honestly i m glad she has a chance to achieve her dreams again but i hope she's not rapping because her rapping wasn't good when she was in wonder girls. if she is rapping, i hope she improved a great deal. i wonder who will be leader. so many debuts this year especially girl groups. hopefully they will have a concept that distinguishes themselves from the rest.

from what i remember when she was in wonder girls she only rapped because JYP wanted a rapper in the group.. she didn't have any training or anything
i think she's been working on that the past 2 years as well so hopefully it's better now

This is VERY intersting. I'm thinking this group will do good, since they already gather interest, and HyunA's in the group.
Off topic, but she always reminds me of Sunny lol

i dont understand.
i thot she withdrew from wonder girls because she had health issues....
if she has health issues, why is she coming out in a new girl group?

^ she probably is deemed to be healthy enough to do this again. JYP wouldn't risk it if he wasn't sure she was ready to go through this again.
It's been almost 2 years since she left....

Oh wow so fast!! Just in like 1-2 days!!! XD
I wonder how many members there will be!!

actually hyuna trained for 5 years before debuting with wonder girls.
maybe you're mixing it up with yeeun? yeeun had only a few months of training before debut.

I was thinking that too.

Well I heard that she actually didn't leave the group due to health issues but because she didn't get along well with some of the members in WG. My cousin told me this cause her friend's friend knows HyunAh. But yea, good to see her back though.

^ hm, interesting.

Either way, I'll be looking forward to her return !

She's the most known member.
I hope the other members will be able to make their name in the group as well.

But,
Another girl group!?!?
There's been a lot of that going on lately.

I think she meant that Hyuna wasn't supposed to be a rapper because she was initially trained to be a singer or something like that.



If you watched MTV Wonder Girls season 1 & 2, you could tell Hyuna got along extremely well with the members - especially Sunye and Sohee since they trained together the longest. I heard that she left the group because of that reason as well, but it's just rumors like how she left the group because she got pregnant.

nono i only meant that hyunah didn't have any training as a rapper~ i know she had it for everything else

Yeah I heard that too. thats prob the most well-known 'rumor' (the pregnant one is just stupid)

Anyway, as much as i love hyunah, they have some REALLYYY tough competition from 2NE1, esp since YG's marketing is fabulooosoooo, and Cube is pretty much fail atm =(

yes finally a group im aticipating for, along side 2NE1!
i cant wait for this.

yeah CUBE is pretty much a failure marketing wise .. but they have been doing a bit better with AJ...seriously hope they will do Hyuna justice

Cube needs to do some better marketing...over the past couple months I can only remember articles that basically state that "Hyuna's group" is going to debut soon. One or two teasers wouldn't hurt D:

This is a tough time to debut...so many girl groups/female artists debuting this month

lol man seriously hyuna could be boa's younger sister or something!
they resemble so much alike!

I did hear a rumor from someone in korea that she was caught having sex with another trainee and her mom walked in or something. Just another rumor maybe?

Does this mean that Hyuna is completely healed and in good health now?
If she was able to heal, I think JYP could have just kept her in Wonder Girls and waited a bit till she healed.
If I were, I would have regretted big time.... but of course, her health is more important.



And
Rumors are rumors.
Please stop talking about them.
There's a lot of people on this forum that doesn't know how to read correctly and will take things out of context and make it a bigger rumor / issue.

This is interesting. Heck, I still don't really know why she was pulled out from Wonder Girls.

I can't wait for her to come back, I miss her man!

What's up with all these ridiculous rumors? If the company left a statement saying she left because of health problems, then it is so. I can't wait for her comeback, she's so darn cute. Junk food eater, Hyuna.

A little something extra.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIqDL0vzcus

So its tommorow that they will debut? I'm not sure how they will go cos in 3 days time, 2NE1 will debut, so a pretty hard competition for them. But I wish them luck.

Too many girl group... well I'm still looking forward to this one.
Hyuna fighting ~!!

There sure are lots of female groups debuting this year!
I wonder what's the concept for this group...

i heard some of the members already
cant wait for tomorrow =D
finally news from her group!

the dancing queen of WG is back! =D
go Cube Girls(not the real name) xD

im really happy that she kept fighting and never gave up ( ;

finally, she will debut with a group..
i;ve been hearing it since early of this year..
with 2ne1 already caught the light, now it's time for HYuna...
i hope the concept is not cutesy (already have that), sexy (let after school be the one), hip hop (2ne1)..
cube better come out with some fresh music and image and not to mention the marketing strategy should be renew...
they dont do a good job on 2am (thank god JYPE took them back), AJ slightly better, hoping hyuna will even be greater..

Woahh at the boom of female groups ! Good luck to her and her group. xD

actually., hyun ah left WG because she was really sick during tell me days, and she cannot perform for a long time. she can't have a come back with the other girls that time because she's sick and she can't perform and her parents also asked her to quit. WG can't have a comeback and after a week just perform with 4 girls instead of 5, because of hyun ah's health. So, JYP decided (and hyun ah's parents wanted her to quit) to replace her with yoobin:)

i'll be anticipating hyun ah's debut! she's a GREAT dancer:)

I can't wait. I've never stopped supporting her, so it will be amazing to see her performing again. I've missed her dancing. So many good things are happening this month.

i have a question
the news said her group will have a dance debut,so where will the group debut in?
will it be the mnet show?
or they will come out with either AJ,2PM or 2AM...lol

hyun ah is my favourite since she in wg~~~

i really do like her a lot~

omo,i cant wait~ when she officially debut?

i heard dat kara x-member is oso under cube-enter,so will she b in the new group with hyun ah?

haha,anyways,hyun ah is da best!!!!!!!!

Yeah.. good news~ love her dance!! wanna see her group soon!!

wow!!! another girl group coming out soon... O_O... so many girl groups... >.<... and i think there are more to come... ahh!!! XO... wonder who'll win the best new girl group at the end of this year... X)... well... i'm looking forward to these new girls then... ... thankies for sharing...

the rumor is false! the real reason she got kicked out of the group was b.c jyp found out that she had a bf when he specifically told her that she shouldn't have a boyfriend or date if you're serious about this.

YES I've been waiting for HyunAh since the day she left WG, knowing she'd be big again.<3 I can't wait to find out more on her group, YESYESYESSSS

that's funny these were mentioned because my korean friend have also told me rumors of her that's something to do with a boy.
but, i don't believe them because they're just rumors... no proof.

anyway, i'm curious about her new group! ^^

FINALLY!
yay missed her alot since she left wonder girls.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE RUMORS..

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SHE'S BACK, AND THERE IS GONNA BE ANOTHER GROUP IN TOWN.

omg yay hyuna returns can't wait to see what her group has in store.

yayyy hyunah is coming back she was one of my fav member in wg after she left i stop listening wg but i start listen to them again when nobody came out im happyyyy yayyyyyyyy

HYUN AH! I MISS HER! I'm so glad she's coming back and with a new girl group too! so many new girl groups in 2009! can't wait
