The nine members were separated into two groups for their third EP release: Da Ya, Xiao Man, Ya Tou, Gui Gui, and Apple comprised Fen Hong Gao Ya Dian (Traditional Chinese: 粉紅高壓電; pinyin: Fěn Hóng Gāo Yā Diàn; literally: "high-voltage pink"), and Mei Mei, Xiao Xun, Xiao Jie, and Tong Tong comprised Tian Xin Hong Zha Ji (Traditional Chinese: 甜心轟炸機; pinyin: Tián Xīn Hōng Zhà Jī; literally: "sweet-hearted flying bombers").

Issues and Scandals

Departure of Tong Tong

On October 5, 2007 Tong Tong left Hei Se Hui Mei Mei (including the Wo Ai Hei Se Hui show). It is rumoured that she left because of a rift with band leader Da Ya over an alleged affair with Tong Tong's boyfriend at the time, Hakka-Pac; other sources suggest that Tong Tong was forced to depart due to violations of her contract. Tong Tong reports that she began cutting herself during this stressful period.

Moving forward, Tong Tong has stated that she plans to concentrate on her singing and dancing. She is currently working for Momo Kids, a Taiwanese television company featuring children's programming.

Departure of Gui Gui

Gui Gui has currently left the management of Channel V, where all the band members originate from. Andy Ge has admitted to the press that she is unlikely to renew her contract, with an ambiguous post on her own blog, Gui Gui had admitted to the news.

While Andy Ge also clarifies, Hey Girl is not under Channel V management so Gui Gui is still with Hey Girl and will be attending promotions per usual.

However, the Hey Girl promotion following his statement did not include Gui Gui who was said to be busy with MIT promotion before and during their promotion. On the 6th Of May 2009, Andy Ge announced to the press that Gui Gui will not be renewing her contract with Channel V, he also states that her involvement with Hey Girl will have to be clarified with Warner Music, as Hey Girl do not belong to Channel V.
[edit] Departure of Xiao Man

Xiao Man has currently left the management of Channel V. She has signed to Eelin Model Agency. She has decided to leave Hey Girl to become a model.

Departure of other members

Da Ya, Xiao Jie, Mei Mei & Apple had also decided to leave Hey Girl as they are now signed to Andy Ge's new agency company, named A Legend Star Ltd. Ya tou and Xiao Xun are still in Hey Girl, but with 2 new members, Tang Guo and Yong Tu. Although it has been rumoured that Ya Tou and Xiao Xun will also leave after they have fulfilled their contracts to join A Legend Star.

Departure of Yong Tu

On September 16, 2010, members of Hey Girl performed at an event in Nanchang which did not include Yong Tu. Instead, it was a new member who was emerged from the event's promotional poster and the Hey Girl members' blogs. Ya Tou later confirmed in her Sina blog that Yong Tu is no long a member of Hey Girl, but will continue to appear on the "Black Lollipop" show. The newest member, Ting Ting (庭庭), has not yet appeared on any of the Channel V related shows and many fans seemed baffled and upset about the departure of Yong Tu. Further speculations have suggested that the switch maybe due to Yong Tu's high profile relationship with one of the Didi "EDD", which the management frowns upon.

Departure of Tang Guo

As of April 2011, Tang Guo's personal "weibo" has listed herself as "without a management agent/agency". Subsequently, she did not appear in any of Hey Girl's promotional activities in China. She did, however, appeared in number of variety shows such as 麻辣天后宫 and 鑽石夜總會 as one of the special guests.
