T-ara's agency Core Contents Media has denied rumors that new member Dani will be joining the group earlier than expected.

CCM released a statement on August 1st KST that announced, "The rumors that have appeared online about Dani joining T-ara early are false."

"[T-ara's] Japanese homepage states, 'With new member Ahreum joining, T-ara will promote as a 7-member group, and after preparations are made, another member Dani will be added, and they'll be promoting as an 8-member group,' but this was decided when Ahreum joined and is planned for later this year."

The agency added, "T-ara will maintain a 7-member system for now until Dani joins after this December as planned."

With CCM's recent issues with the T-ara members, what are your predictions for later this year when it's time for Dani to join?
