[BREAKING] BC Entertainment announces departure of Lipstick’s main vocal Jung Goeun
At 8AM KST on December 1st, BC Entertainment released a statement reading:
“BC Entertainment and its associates are sad to announce the departure of Jung Goeun from Lipstick due to declining vocal health. We care deeply about the well-being of our artists and upon doctor recommendation, BC Entertainment and Goeun have jointly decided that she will no longer promote as a member of Lipstick. The group will continue to promote with six members.”
Several hours after BC Entertainment released their statement, at 2:45PM KST, Jung Goeun uploaded a statement to her Instagram that read:
“Hello, this is Jung Goeun. My departure from Lipstick was announced this morning earlier than I had anticipated, and I had not had time to write a statement yet, but I wanted to share my true feelings. I apologize to any fans who were worried as they waited to hear from me. I joined BC Entertainment as a trainee in 2007 before debuting in 2012, and after ten years with the company, I’ve decided that I wish to prematurely terminate my contract. BC Entertainment’s statement that I have privately dealt with health issues with my vocal cords for a few years now is true, but furthermore, I personally feel that remaining under BC Entertainment in any other capacity, as an actress or model, would have further jeopardized both my mental and physical health, which have been pushed to their limits since even before my debut. There is not much else I can say at this time, but I would like to thank the fans who have supported me and continue to support me. It breaks my heart to no longer be in a group with such amazing fans, but I do not take this decision lightly.
I’m also happy to announce my marriage, which was finalized two months ago without a ceremony.”
Inside sources say that both BC Entertainment and Jung Goeun’s statements only brush the surface of the issue and that Goeun plan to file a formal lawsuit against the company to void both her contract and the rumored 10 billion won early termination fine.

[+1,235, -470] why would they announce this now? hasn’t bc gotten enough bad press lately?
[+1,107, -421] my bets are on bc kicking her out because she got married. no way they approved that.
[+900, -508] it sounds like it wasn’t as clean of a break as bc said. can’t wait for this drama.
[+682, -488] they left her out of the group’s sub-unit even though she was the best singer. i don’t blame her for leaving.
[+472, -213] if you can’t handle being paid just to wear designer clothes and look pretty, you shouldn’t be an idol anyway
[+365, -304] so she’s not going to say who she married? i know it’s going to be an average-looking rich man fifteen years older than her, but i’d like to see her take an idol away from their precious fan girls.
[+120, - 190] she always seemed stuck up. lipstick will be better off without her.
[+23, -158] guess this means no lipstick comeback for a while
