트러블메이커 장현승과 현아 측이 악성루머에 강력대응할 방침이라고 밝혔다.
소속사 큐브엔터테인먼트 관계자는 10일 “악성루머를 기사형식으로 만들어 배포한 점은 악의적인 의도로밖에 볼 수가 없다”면서 “현재 변호사에 자문을 구하고 있는 중이며 빠른 시일 내에 법적조치를 취해 유포자 잡아낼 것”이라고 밝혔다.
해당 루머는 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 통해 작성된 것으로 추정되며, 현아의 임신설과 이에 따른 소속사의 공식입장 발표 등이 기사형식으로 담겨 있다.

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.
