Following the discovery of pictures of Co-Ed member Hot Blood Kangho having drinks in a private room of a bar, Core Contents Media has announced that the group will temporarily put a halt on promotional activities.

“After this week, Co-Ed will put a halt on activities temporarily. This was decided because another group from our company is scheduled to make a comeback,” said a representative of Co-Ed’s agency.

When asked about promotional schedules hereafter, the representative replied, “We have not made any concrete decisions as of yet.”

With this week’s KBS ‘Music Bank’ being cancelled due to the broadcast of the ‘2010 Blue Dragon Awards’, as well as the high possibility of cancellation for MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’, there is a chance that Co-Ed may not even be able to say goodbye on stage before ceasing their activities.

Rookie group Co-Ed has been heating up the internet once more after certain pictures of member Hot Blood Kangho began circulating on portal sites.

In the pictures, Kangho (who was born in 1991) is shown hanging out with a group of friends in what looks to be a private room of a bar.

Netizens criticized his behavior as a minor, leaving comments such as, “He must be rich”, “Tsk tsk, a student in a bar,” “How can a 91′er be sitting in a bar like that? What’re the police doing?”, “Looks like his name isn’t ‘Hot Blood’ for no reason”, and “Doesn’t the company realize that it doesn’t matter whether this was before or after high school graduation, it’s still bad?”


To respond to such criticisms, Kangho’s agency (Core Contents Media) clarified the pictures with a statement through Star News: ”This picture was taken with Kangho’s friends after he graduated from high school. They’re just pictures of him feeling welcome with his close friends.”
