Choa announces she's leaving AOA + FNC denies statement


Article: [Official] Choa decides to leave AOA, "I've been suffering from depression and insomnia for the past two years"

Source: News 1 via Nate

1. [+1,551, -57] I quit my job today after holding it in for such a long time because I realized I was going to become mentally ill if I stayed any longer. I'm 28 years old... and I hope that Choa spends the remainder of her twenties healthily and beautifully.

2. [+1,436, -45] I guess it was tough for her... but who's going to sing in AOA now

3. [+1,070, -281] I hope that she doesn't end up like SNSD's Jessica and all those relationship rumors she denied end up being true and that the real reason she's leaving is because of a man

4. [+79, -15] I understand why she's pissed now. Imagine all your hard work being demolished with Seolhyun dating Zico, the Ahn Joong Geun scandal that ruined all of AOA's digital and album sales... all the while Seolhyun's off shooting CFs and talking as if the team is living off her back by dividing her income.

5. [+69, -10] She's going to get married soon

6. [+66, -1] Maybe she got depressed after working so hard to get AOA popular in the beginning only for Seolhyun to start getting popular two years ago? She worked hard, I wish her luck after leaving AOA

7. [+55, -5] Looks like AOA's on the verge of disbandment too. They seem to be on the decline since hitting peak with 'Heart Attack'

8. [+51, -7] What a shame, Choa was the voice of AOA...

1. [+9,869, -112] It must've been really tough on her...

2. [+8,320, -112] Who's going to sing without Choa...

3. [+5,986, -89] Choa-ya, you worked hard ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

4. [+3,668, -56] Hul

5. [+3,164, -74] ㅠㅠ

6. [+1,682, -85] AOA's image and digital sales have dropped since 2016 with the Jimin and Seolhyun scandal, and Seolhyun's the only one doing well in the group while Choa does all the singing. I like her a lot because she works so hard at everything she does... and I hope she gets the help she needs for her depression and does well as a solo.

7. [+1,497, -29] Choa did all she could in getting AOA's name out there, sad to see her go..

8. [+1,673, -95] I don't blame her considering FNC only supports Seolhyun. Choa's popularity went up when she was on 'My Little TV' but FNC kept pushing Seolhyun instead of her.

Article: Choa "Leaving AOA" vs FNC "NOT confirmed" divided statements

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+434, -9] It's usually people who seem bright on the outside like Choa who are suffering from depression because they hold everything in. And people have a tendency to play hard jokes on people like Choa because they think they're bright enough to take anything.

2. [+376, -9] She wasn't just the main vocal of the group.. her unique voice created an actual image for AOA that was unique to them. AOA will be like any other girl group without Choa.

3. [+311, -10] FNC is trash

4. [+30, -12] It's fine that she's leaving, I just better not hear news that she's marrying that chaebol in 1-2 years... it's backstabbing her fans who believe in her now.

5. [+25, -3] Choa seems to want this whereas her agency wants to hold her back. I just hope she doesn't end up like Crayon Pop's Soyul... Choa-ya, you worked hard!! Do whatever you want now!

6. [+23, -0] Looks like something happened

7. [+21, -1] Why do I get a bad feeling that this is going to turn nasty... I hope for both their sake that they end this clean

8. [+19, -2] AOA might as well disband without Choa ㅋㅋ

1. [+7,794, -86] Who's going to sing in AOA now...?

2. [+7,410, -94] Just let Choa go, she's obviously going through a hard time

3. [+6,356, -132] TrashNC, let Choa go..

4. [+5,647, -100] FNC is basically holding on to her by the ankles now... tsk tsk

5. [+4,722, -97] Let Choa go... you can't say anything's still in discussion when Choa said so herself that she's done

6. [+1,305, -21] Choa wrote that she's leaving on SNS, she seems to be final with her decision

7. [+1,268, -49] A group will always fail with only one member receiving the spotlight

8. [+845, -17] Choa's done, FNC's the one that needs to let go

1. [+312, -3] Choa's already done ㅡㅡ

2. [+299, -4] She's done

3. [+199, -2] What's FNC saying

4. [+37, -5] Choa herself said she's exhausted and that she's done ㅋㅋㅋ why is FNC so quick to say no ㅋㅋㅋㅋ anyway, poor AOA's a dance team now that there's no one there to sing for them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+34, -1] Choa hit em with a fast one

6. [+28, -2] Look at how fast FNC responded ㅋㅋㅋ they really must've beem shocked.

7. [+22, -3] Why would Choa have written that on SNS if FNC didn't let her. AOA's going to get hit hard if Choa leaves, she's the main vocal~ tsk tsk, just let her go. I want her to be happy with a new agency.

8. [+13, -0] Let her go now. AOA was long over when Seolhyun got caught sprinting into Zico's house and that Ahn Joong Geun scandal.
