1. [+700, -91] Yeah, well, it's not like she needs the money considering she's from a rich family... She suffered herself trying to call herself an idol with that face
2. [+617, -100] She has the ugliest face in the group, definitely not a face to call yourself a celebrity with.. and it's not like she was a great singer like Eunji either. It'd be better to find success with education ^^ especially coming from a rich family
3. [+492, -41] Her family's rich so not like it matters for her
4. [+131, -7] She got into college through A Pink and now she's leaving ㅋㅋ
5. [+110, -5] She got into Joongang University with special treatment and now she's leaving ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+76, -7] Well she got into college easily for debuting as an idol and since her family's rich, she can switch careers as much as as she wants before being married off to another rich family
7. [+74, -5] Why can't idols focus on their education BEFORE debuting??

1. [+418, -26] Look at her leaving right after getting into Joongang Uni through idol special treatment
2. [+345, -51] How lucky for her... Because she has rich parents, she can become a celebrity with an ugly face, go to college, and generally do whatever she wants. I bet they could even send her on a trip to Europe as long as she wanted it... while I've been saving and working for years to study, get into college, and go on a European trip.
3. [+262, -14] Well since she's from a chaebol family, I bet this celebrity gig was just a hobby for her.

1. [+164, -17] Hong Yookyung was getting ready to leave the group as soon as she got into Joongang Uni with special treatment last year. The only good grade she got was in English and the rest of her subjects were nowhere near the scores required to get into a college in Seoul but she got in for special treatment.
2. [+127, -12] You got in for special treatment
3. [+136, -19] She's lucky she's got a rich family. Other singers have to worry about putting food on the table... She'll be forgotten like WG's Sunmi soon
4. [+118, -6] This was just a brief hobby for her. Her dad will probably set up a company for her to run later.
5. [+104, -4]
Yookyung: Dad! I want to be an idol too! Come on, idoooooool!!!!!!!
*three months later*
Yookyung: What is this! Why am I not popular? All I'm doing is suffering! ㅠ I'm quitting! Dad, hire me into your company~~"
6. [+119, -19] Seems like she became an idol to get into college.

1. [+818, -49] Isn't she the girl where if you searched Naver, you'd get her name in the related search rankings with 'Ugly girl in A Pink' ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+724, -26] Get rid of the special treatment program. This is so unfair to all of the students who had to be held a year back just because she took their spot.
3. [+541, -28] KARA's Seungyeon is the jjang... Got into Hanyang Uni on her own merit when KARA was a nobody group...
4. [+474, -46] The ridiculous part of this all is that there were kids last year who studied their butts off and still couldn't get in because of her. Is she trying to show off her money? She doesn't even have a face pretty enough to be a singer ㅡㅡ
5. [+359, -11] Now now kids, in order to get into college, you have to study to become a celebrity, not for the college entrance exam

Cube says she did not get in with special treatment.
1. [+693, -54] Seeing her leave like this only makes it more obvious that she was only a celebrity as a hobby ㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+655, -106] Must be lucky to be so rich. Others have to put their lives on the line for their debut while she can just quit whenever she wants.
3. [+571, -38] Why couldn't she focus on her education before her debut? ㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+482, -31] There are so many kids who can't be idols no matter how talented, so many kids who can't go to college no matter how smart...
5. [+454, -45] Whatever A Cube
6. [+336, -30] Heard the new member is Song Ha Ye... She was in the final line-up for A Pink before they dropped her.
