does anyone know if she really chose to leave?

Companies usually give the excuse of "this idol wanted to continue their studies" or something like that, when they just decide to kick that idol out. Usually because they are not popular enough or they just dont get along with the other members.(bullying or them being the difficult idol, or maybe they cant handle the harsh and unhealthy life of an idol, or it was their parents decision)

I mean it is possible that she left on her own(maybe did she realized she wanted to do something else), but for me is SO hard to believe when companies say this because its pretty illogical that after years of hard training and finally debuting you just decide to leave.(Like Apink's Yookyung, she was kicked out for being the least popular in the group, but her company gave another excuse, then her father came foward and other things happened)

At the end, until she speaks out, we cant really judge because there's no proof saying otherwise.

I swear "April" would of been more popular if the og Baby Kara members were still there. I hope Shiyoon continued her acting, Yuji is a trainee still I believe (Not in DSP), Chaekyung is doing her own thing (last time I checked her IG). I cannot believe DSP promoting Baby Kara yet Somin and Chaewon were the only members to debut. No diss to the members of April, but they were unfamiliar to me I could not get hooked to their group.
JYP used "Sixteen" to pretty much promote "Twice" and they are well off (Except the fact Somi did not debut :( and Minyoung left JYP).
DSP sucks at management and promoting (A-JAX). Plus Kara is probably not even top 10 in popularity, although they will still be know as the powerhouse during their reign back then in Korea and Japan.
Rant done, I have not idea why Somin left, it is weird to see because she did get to debut after Puretty (disbanded group), and Baby Kara (Did not get into KARA).

(I believe Yuji is in the company Bob Girls is at)

Too be honest Somin is way too good for that sweetty poppy candy childish group. She is too good for her agency in general. She needs to go to YG or JYP so she can be herself. They keeping her cuz they know her talent but they are such a lame company i feel so bad for Somin.
