As it stands the girls were to work on recording in Japan from today. Rest of the members will carry on as planned, and Goo will fill in her part later.

Goo is often regarded as the face of the group, and most recently was picked to be the model for Lotte Liquor’s line of soju alongside Sistar’s Hyolyn and 4Minute’s Hyun-a.

The three girl groups replaced Lee Hyo-lee in the ads and caused quite a sensation with their suggestive dance moves that came in three versions from tame to risque.
