MBK Entertainment has confirmed that Hyomin, Jiyeon, Eunjung, and Qri have re-signed contracts while Soyeon and Boram will go their separate ways.
Earlier in the month, it was announced that T-ara‘s upcoming album in May will be the group’s last album as 6 members due to the member’s contracts expiring.
“T-ara’s new album will be released on May 17. But this will be the last album the 6 members will be together for. The member’s contracts expire in May and because of that, this comeback is the last one for the full group.”
