Trouble Maker vows legal action against rumor

K-pop duo Trouble Maker said Friday it would respond sternly to a malicious rumor about the supposed pregnancy of the member Hyuna.

The team’s agency Cube Entertainment announced that it would request a police investigation to track down the source of the spreading rumor that Hyunseung, the other member, got Hyuna pregnant.

“It is obvious that an evil purpose was behind this as (the one who circulated the rumor) spread it in the form of an article,” an official of the agency said.

“We plan to request a police investigation and ask for legal punishment.” 

Early in the day, the pregnancy rumor was spread via social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter in what looked like an article published by a media outlet.

The post, presumed to be written through a smartphone application, said the two members had improper relations while working together.

The project group, consisting of Hyuna from girl group 4minute and Hyunseung from Beast, has released two mini albums.
