T-ara's Company will file seven criminal complaints against the media!

On August 3rd, T-ara's company, Core Contents Media announced, " Unconfirmed Internet postings lead to articles being posted without filtering the content (verifying) and we have filed seven criminal charges against the media".

The representative stated, " The Media published stories including imposter accounts by a two-year trainee, T-ara's back-up dancer , CEO Kim Kwangsoo, Hwayoung and so on. They also published stories related to the bullying issue taken from Internet websites with text and images that were not confirmed before being posted, thus fueling the fire".

The representative went on and said " We are not suing the first publishers of the Internet postings, but the media who published these as fact without properly verifying it. When media plans it, it makes a big wave through the social network and is seen by everyone then. We have hired two lawyers to begin criminal complaints on the 6th" and then ended it by saying that in the future all media websites should verify things as fact before posting.

Kim Kwangsoo proposes to meet with the representatives of T-Jinyo

Amidst the allegations and controversy, netizens in Korea have formed a fancafe named 'T-Jinyo' which means ' We Want the Truth from T-ara'.

Recently, it was reported that the said group would be having their protest on August 4 in front of CCM's building with an estimated of 100 people attending but they announced later that it was cancelled as they revealed that the police restricted their limit to 30 people, reason is that the company's building is near a residential area.

Now, on the 3rd of August, CCM's CEO, Kim Kwangsoo stated, "I'm proposing to meet with three representatives from T-Jinyo. All their questions and curiosities can be cleared without a doubt if they meet with me. I'll also listen to what they have to say" he continued with, " If they want to, three people can post a notice today (3rd) by 5:00 PM KST on the T-Jinyo cafe".

Jo Harang comments on T-ara's situation and says "It must stop now!"

Jo Harang a former member of " Jewelry", a group that also had to face a bullying controversy in the past, with her being the "witch-hunted member" has expressed her thoughts about T-ara's current situation.

Jo Harang expressed, " You're here, but you're invisible. One day feels like a year, breathing is easy but you feel uneasy. The entertainment industry has the same environment as schools, companies, societies, institutes...This witch-hunting must stop for sure!".

The next day she also continued with, " Starting from a young age, children start to acknowledge that you need to work hard in life [to get what you want], and you focus on this so much that you don't put any of your time into building a "relationship" and lack social skills. Lacking the experience of having a social life and troubles to maintain a relationship doesn't fade away when you suddenly elevate yourself into a high position (celebrey/famous)".

She followed it by exposing her uncomfortable heart and said, " The problem is brought by the public with a witch-hunt, even if it's not true [the rumor of bullying]. It was hard for me, back then, to have to read such articles [about me]. It is important [for T-ara] to overcome this and to live in the present".

Upon reading, the reactions of the netizens were "Jo Harang seems to have troubles in her heart", "it seems that even idols are now refocusing themselves on the truth" and "We need to brush off [this rumor] now".

The members of T-ara are victims of reckless reporters!

The members of T-ara are victims of unconfirmed reports in the media, and this post made by the Korean media is out to clarify that.

Recently, the bullying situation began with a few tweets and reports saying Hwayoung was bullied in T-ara. Suspicions that idol groups have bullying in them have been around forever, and didn't just start yesterday. But the recent bullying accusations have exploded and attracted more attention than ever before.

A problem that lies within this is that there is so much interest in the case, that reports are being published in the press just to increase views and clicks on their website which is the wrong attitude.

To confirm the allegations that first began about bullying, netizens went and dug up various things that happened in the past. Excerpts from various different broadcasts were brought up through screen-captures and questioned, but they were not originally a problem when they first aired. The reports spread throughout the media were written without going through a verification process. Reports that were contacting representatives from the broadcasts were also hard to find.

In addition to making screen-captures of various broadcasts, rumors have been circulating about T-ara. False and malicious rumors, such as "gangs" and the like, have been circulating online because of "netizens suspicions," but like the screen-captures, they have not been verified. The "trainee" was proven to be false, and the "back-dancer" report as well, but both spread before any confirmation had been done. Some even have gone far to force evidence and say that Hwayoung left a hidden message, " fans only know," in her Twitter message but the truth is it's different depending on where you look at the image.

Websites gain revenue through clicks on ads on their website, and these reckless and unprofessional reports being spread attract attention and revenue for whoever reports it.

The bullying allegations first started on July 28th through Twitter messages and continued until the 2nd. T-ara related searches dominated every popular search ranking on various portal sites. The Olympics began, but T-ara's scandal has attracted more attention and higher interest. The topic located at the center is that journalists recklessly report things posted online without getting confirmation just for a few more clicks on their website.

Hwayoung recently posted on Twitter, " Please stop now and look forward to when I'll return with a new more mature and sophisticated image". The situation is at a point where it's finally calmed down.

Ahn JaeMin expresses his support to T-ara's Eunjung!

If you have watched T-ara Eunjung's episodes on ' We Got Married', I'm sure you have watched the episodes where JaeMin, Eunjung's close friend has appeared.

Now in the middle of the controversy and allegations being thrown against T-ara, he has come out to express his feelings and support for Eunjung as he tweeted, " Today I rested for the whole day, secretly browsing the internet and I found EunJung's news, it's really sad. She is a very kind hearted child actually…FIGHTING-ah dongsaeng!!!!!!….."

Ahn JaeMin continued with, " The Eunjung I know is pure and simple, lonelier than anyone else, and with a personality unlike a celebrity. After returning from Japan, even without sleep, she will still keep her promise to watch her classmates' performance until the very last scene. She is a friend like that. A friend who thinks that it is only natural to take care of the people around her. Her personality has been like that for the 10 years I've known her. She rarely talks about T-ara's things, and how this incident happened, I'm shocked too. Although I've looked it up, even like that, this whole time I've always seen her as family, so I feel very sad and heartbroken. You seems to be very tired and burdened now, please stay strong. I pray that as time goes by, everything will be fine. I love you, little sister".

T-ara's Boram didn't destroy Hwayoung's Umbrella!

The issue about T-ara's alleged "bullying" case has been blown out of proportion.

It was taken advantage by T-ara's anti-fans and that's why I'm sure most of you have seen those pictures or clips made by them to make it really look like T-ara members are bullies.  What's more saddening is that many really believed it and considered it was true.

There was this "news" saying that T-ara's Boram destroyed Hwayoung's umbrella during their filming for the 2012 MBC 'Idol Star Olympics'.  This one is definitely not true, as it was edited to make it look like that.

Here's the alleged "Boram destroying Hwayoung's umbrella" picture.

And here's our proof for that, and amazingly that screencap was taken from this fancam and that proves that the said "News" was really intended to make false accusations against T-ara and Boram.

This was a Fancam focused on the members of Infinite but thankfully the girls of T-ara were also captured in it and you can see them happily playing at the back.  While you can also see Jiyeon watching the games alone at the sideline at around 0:15 sec. of the video. 

(Thanks to the owner of this Fancam)

As you have watched, Hwayoung's umbrella was already broken when she walked that way, T-ara's Qri and Boram just followed her there.

This is a strong proof that the fans who are against T-ara are editing things out, be it a clip or picture to make it look that T-ara are bullies.

Again, we will remind everyone, not everything you have read or seen in the internet is true.  Be cautious and don't just believe whatever they throw against T-ara.

Kim Kwangsoo talked with Hwayoung and Hyoyoung for 30 Minutes

Earlier today, we have posted that Hwayoung went to Core Contents Media's office last night to apologize to their CEO, Kim Kwangsoo.

Now following that, Kim Kwangsoo has revealed that he and the twins, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung, had a 30 minutes conversation last night.

In an interview he revealed, " [Hwayoung, with her twin sister] Hyoyoung met with me for 30 minutes and was saying things such as '[She's really] upset and [she's] sorry". That was the first time that I met her since her contract termination was announced. She's been very distressed at how everything have gone insanely out of control. Seeing her like that was also very painful for me," CEO Kim continued to say, "For the time being, T-ara will continue their promotional activities without Hwayoung. The T-ara members, just like Hwayoung are all victims in this situation. Having everything happen like this has brought pain to the children's (T-ara and Hwayoung's) hearts. Finally, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung also said that '[They will] be waiting'".

CEO Kim Kwangsoo had a hard time calming down the situation, but now the reconcilation phase is here and attracting attention. Hwayoung met with Kim Kwangsoo at 10:30 PM KST after posting a heartfelt apology on her Twitter. 

Here's what Kim Kwangsoo stated in his interview.

♦ Why did the sisters, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung come to meet you?

Hwayoung came to the office late at night to give a last greeting. An hour before, Hwayoung made a post on Twitter. She came with her sister and cried throughout the 30 minutes. 'I'm sorry for giving so many complications,' she said. She sincerely regretted her behavior and everything that happened and couldn't hold back her feelings.

♦ How is Hwayoung doing?

For someone as young as her to experience an incident this big, of course she's having a difficult time. Yesterday, [when we met] instead of blaming her for bad behaviour, I gave her words of encouragement. T-ara isn't living with each other like they used to but staying with their parents now.

♦ Hwayoung and the company is currently having conflicts, [how about] Hyoyoung, she's still [with the company]?

I don't want to talk about her at the moment. The only thing that both sisters said to me was "President-nim, we will be waiting. With her sister being in this state, she's not at a position to be able to work on her own activities, anyway.

♦ How are the T-ara members?

If I say that their current state [is similar] to having a mental breakdown, it'd be pretty accurate. All T-ara members as well as Hwayoung's are all in a panic state. T-ara are very sad over the talk that they made Hwayoung an outcast. They also feel sorry for not protecting their youngest sister well. This teaches them that something small can create a very big wave such as this one. They're continually crying.

♦ [Hwayoung] being outcast is still being debated over. What is the real reason to Hwayoung's departure?

It's a pity it's still a controversy. Whatever group, social relationships always experience conflict. Bullying between members is not the reason for her withdrawal. It's because of Hwayoung's refusal to perform on KBS 2TV 'Music Bank' on the 27th. Hwayoung had made a promise to fans to perform on stage no matter the situation. There were also many staff members working for her who were hurt by this. As a singer, she broke the promise she made. Such mistakes like that are a big deal.

♦ Is there a possibility that Hwayoung will be re-joining?

The only thing Hwayoung said was "I will wait." If she comes back so suddenly, it might become a little difficult. There's been a deep wound that's inflicted on both T-ara and Hwayoung. Saying this is difficult because I am feeling just as hurt [seeing all of this unfold].

♦ T-ara's promotions?

First of all, T-ara will continue their promotions without Hwayoung. The plan for now is to have them remain as a 7-member group. Dani will only be added to T-ara after December as planned initially. It is also mandatory that T-ara proceeds with their concert on August 11th, but they will take a break from variety programs. The report regarding the massive amounts of ticket refunding at the concert is also not true.

Meanwhile, CCM has also announced that T-ara's concert in Korea which was scheduled on August 11th has been postponed.
