A previous Malaysia showcase video that was released with all the members in the same outfits as the Hong Kong showcase video show that Hwayoung was clearly edited out. Both videos which were seemingly shot at the same time show Hwayoung was standing on the far left of the group.

Removed Hwayoung, trust KKS to never miss a chance to make another PR blunder for T-ara.”
