1. A cup holder apparatus for a vehicle comprising: an accommodating tray provided inside a vehicle compartment and having an accommodation space for accommodating a cup therein;a cup support member rotatably provided around a rotating shaft (Z axis) against the accommodating tray and including a bottom portion for safe-placing the cup in the accommodation space and a support portion formed in a stand from the bottom portion to support an outer periphery of the cup; anda release prevention member prepared separately from the cup support member and connected to the bottom portion of the cup support member, while being rotatably coupled to the accommodating tray, to prevent release of the cup support member from the accommodating tray,wherein the release of the release prevention member from the accommodating tray is hindered by an upper stopper formed on the accommodating tray while the cup support member is rotatably coupled to the upper stopper and is rotated around the rotating shaft. 2. The cup holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein the accommodating tray includes a retaining portion to which the support portion of the cup support member is selectively received. 3. The cup holder apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a left stopper and a right stopper formed in a tray main body of the accommodating tray, wherein the release prevention member is positioned between the upper stopper and the left/right stopper. 4. The cup holder apparatus of claim 3, wherein the accommodating tray comprises: the tray main body having a bottom surface on which the left and right stoppers are formed; andan upper cover which is integrally fixed to an upper portion of the tray main body and on which the upper stopper is formed. 5. The cup holder apparatus of claim 4, wherein the left and right stoppers form a recessed portion on the bottom surface of the tray main body to open an upper side of the tray main body such that the release prevention member is rotatably disposed in the recessed portion, and the upper stopper is a bottom surface of the upper cover. 6. The cup holder apparatus of claim 5, wherein the release prevention member comprises: a release prevention main body positioned in the recessed portion in a state where the release prevention main body is in close contact with the bottom surface of the upper cover; anda rotating shaft insertion main body which is formed to project upwards from the release prevention main body and into which a shaft support portion protruding from the bottom portion of the cup support member is inserted. 7. The cup holder apparatus of claim 6, wherein the outer diameter of the release prevention main body is larger than the inner diameter of the upper stopper. 8. The cup holder apparatus of claim 6, wherein the rotating shaft connects the release prevention main body and the shaft support portion by passing the release prevention main body and the shaft support portion together, and wherein the rotating shaft slidably supports the release prevention main body against the bottom surface of the tray main body. 9. The cup holder apparatus of claim 4, wherein a guide is formed to project in one direction from the bottom surface of the bottom portion along a circumferential direction thereof, and a rail, which rotatably guides the guide while the cup support member is rotated, is formed to project in the other direction from the upper surface of the upper cover. 10. The cup holder apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a locking unit including: a locking projection formed to project downwards from an outer circumference surface of the support portion; anda button member which is elastically supported to be pressed on one side of the accommodating tray and on which a hook to selectively lock the locking projection is formed thereto. 11. The cup holder apparatus of claim 10, further comprising an elastic member having one end fixed to the accommodating tray and the other end fixed to the bottom portion of the cup support member to apply an elastic force to the cup support member in a direction in which the cup support member is lock-released from the locking unit; wherein when a user presses the button member, the hook is lock-released from the locking projection and thus the cup support member is rotated around the rotating shaft to be shifted to a cup supportable state by the elastic force of the elastic member such that the support portion of the cup support member is released from the retaining portion of the accommodating tray to form the accommodating space for accommodating the cup therein. 12. The cup holder apparatus of claim 11, wherein a gear is formed along a circumferential direction on the bottom surface of the bottom portion with a predetermined diameter along the rotating shaft, andwherein a rotating damper is installed in the accommodating tray and engaged with the gear of the bottom portion while the cup support member is rotated around the rotating shaft by the elastic member. 13. The cup holder apparatus of claim 12, wherein the rotating damper includes a gear engaged with the gear of the bottom portion. 14. The cup holder apparatus of claim 13, wherein the rotating damper is an elastic member. 15. The cup holder apparatus of claim 10, wherein the button member comprises: a knob including the hook;a mounting bracket attached to the accommodating tray and slidably receiving the knob therein, wherein the mounting bracket includes an exposing hole formed along a longitudinal direction of the mounting bracket and the hook of the knob projects toward the locking projection of the support portion through the exposing hole; anda compression spring installed inside the mounting bracket to elastically support the knob in an upward direction. 16. The cup holder apparatus of claim 15, wherein the button member is installed in the accommodating tray by changing the position thereof regardless of the rotating direction of the cup support member. 17. A cup holder apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: an accommodating tray provided inside a vehicle compartment and having an accommodation space for accommodating a cup;a cup support member rotatably provided around a rotating shaft (Z axis) against the accommodating tray and including a bottom portion for safe-placing the cup and a support portion formed in a stand from the bottom portion to support an outer periphery of the cup;a release prevention member prepared separately from the cup support member and connected to the bottom portion of the cup support member, while being rotatably coupled to the accommodating tray, to prevent release of the cup support member from the accommodating tray;a locking unit including a locking projection formed to project downwards from an outer circumference surface of the support portion, and a button member which is elastically supported to be pressed on one side of the accommodating tray and on which a hook to selectively lock the locking projection is formed thereto; andan elastic member having one end fixed to the accommodating tray and the other end fixed to the bottom portion of the cup support member to apply an elastic force to the cup support member in a direction in which the cup support member is lock-released from the locking unit;wherein the button member is installed in the accommodating tray by changing the position thereof regardless of the rotating direction of the cup support member. 18. The cup holder apparatus of claim 17, wherein the release prevention member comprises: a release prevention main body positioned between an upper stopper formed in the accommodating tray and right and left stoppers; anda rotating shaft insertion main body which is formed to project upward from the release prevention main body and into which the rotating shaft, having passed through the release prevention main body, is inserted.
