Hwarang - Hanbin's best friend was eliminated from TEMPEST, the reason shocked everyone!

TEMPEST's management company has recently officially announced the termination of the exclusive contract with member Hwarang. This means that the male singer is no longer a member of TEMPEST.

Remember in early March this year, TEMPEST's management company announced the indefinite suspension of all Hwarang activities due to the scandal of going to a club while suffering from a shoulder injury, causing a huge stir among the public.

Specifically, during a video call with a fan, the male singer was asked about going to a bar. The fan confirmed that he saw Hwarang and other idols go to a nightclub. Notably, the male singer went out during a hiatus to rest after being injured. At that time, Hwarang admitted to the above behavior and affirmed that he only went to the bar to listen to music.

According to SBS, Hwarang is 23 years old so going to a bar is not a violation. However, many viewers were disappointed by Hwarang's proud attitude when talking about going to a club, while he is an idol with many young fans.

Since Yuehua Entertainment announced the suspension of all Hwarang activities, netizens have been questioning this somewhat heavy-handed decision.

Soon after, netizens discovered that mainstream Korean music sites such as Melon, Genie, Bugs, and even the Naver search engine had removed all information about Hwarang as a member of the group TEMPEST. When searching for the group’s name on these sites, only 6 members including Hanbin, Hyungseob, Hyuk, LEW, Eunchan, and Taerae appeared.

Since the incident, fans have continuously sent mass mails, asking the company to speak up about Hwarang's situation and clarify his future activities. After 5 months, Yuehua officially announced the termination of the exclusive contract with the male idol.

Original announcement from TEMPEST's company: "Hello, this is Yuehua Entertainment. We would like to announce the upcoming activities of TEMPEST and Hwarang.

Our company has thoroughly discussed Hwarang's future activities and direction. After careful consideration, we have agreed to end Hwarang's activities as a member of TEMPEST and terminate our exclusive contract with the company.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to all the fans who have supported Hwarang all this time. We hope that you will continue to support Hwarang's new journey in the future, and our company will also sincerely support Hwarang's path forward.

We will firmly deal with the spread of false information and speculation about our artists. Please give TEMPEST, who will debut through Road to Kingdom, a lot of interest and love. Thank you very much."

Fans couldn't help but feel regretful about this news, because Hwarang is one of the most popular members in the group, and also plays many important roles such as main dancer and main rapper, contributing significantly to the composition of the group's products. Yuehua's decisiveness towards the famous member is considered by netizens to be strong. Besides, a part of netizens still have big questions about Yuehua's handling and the situation behind this decision:

"I don't think Hwarang's problem was punished so severely that they left the group, there must be a hidden story behind it."

"Hwarang is so talented, it's a shame that she can't conquer Road to Kingdom with TEMPEST."

"This friend is a hot mem (famous member) of the group, what a pity!"

"This will be a lesson for others about self-management and restraining unwanted desires while working as idols."

Hwarang and 6 members including Hanbin, Hyeongseop, Hyuk, Eunchan, Lew and Taerae debuted in the group Tempest in 2022. In the group, Hwarang is close to Vietnamese member Hanbin (Ngo Ngoc Hung).
