I just hope Jiyeon is happy with this decision!
P.S. Since you aren't going to be going to school maybe you can come perform in the US???

I'm sure once our Hwayoung reunites with our T-ara, things will get vastly better for them and for all of us. Hopefully soon.

Jacked up like no other...why do those people even go if they're going to do stuff like that...
I hope karma gets all those nasty people back someday...soon.

Immature people, they never learned from what happened with SNSD back then, and let's history repeats itself. It's just a small incident compared to SNSD, but still...grow up people. These girls worked so hard and always appreciate the fans, they deserve something better, they have suffered so much already.
Be strong my girls!!! T-ara fighting!!! International Queen's love you always!!!

Well... can't say that they didn't expect this. As long as they stay cool and professional, it's all good
It will get better!

sigh... with this, i'm so thankful of the queen's who cheered at inkigayo to make it up for the girls... but this is just too harsh...
doing this bec. of the false bullying issue... they don't deserve it!
Don't worry T-ara, I'm sure when there is rain there will be a bright sun afterwards
Hongkong and Malaysia Queen's be sure to light up their show case there okay? ^^ 5x or even 10x brighter than jeju!

Hrmm.. I feel sorry for Hyomin, and the rest of T-ara. As soon as they come out to the public then they will probably get harassed by reporters without end. I feel that it's immature on the reporters' end of things seeing as Hyomin is most likely very stressed out right now. The last thing she needs is people reminding her about a painful event. Also, very unprofessional seeing that this is a press conference FOR A DRAMA, not a "Hyomin interview about Hwayoung and recent controversies."

Am I the only 1 think that Hyomin will use this press conference to clear up this issue.. We know Hyomin right.. She always trying to protect her members.. just like she did with Jiyeon's ramen issue, Mose's issue & etc.. Btw, Hyomin fighting.. I know you can do it.. Queen's will protect T-ara

[12.08.05] True or not, the public will only believe what they want about T-ara's bullying situation





"Tara-'s Hwayoung Was Not Bullied!" Written by Kim Yong Hyo, a reporter who has written many editorials on hot issues within the entertainment industry for the column [연예세상 비틀어보기]
T-ara’s Hwayoung never once mentioned the word “bullying.” And in reality she was not bullied. Netizens are merely creating evidence of bullying. (Those who seek the truth about such ‘bullying evidence’ please see the post http://thetaratruth.tumblr.com). Nevertheless, the public now believes “Hwayoung was bullied” as the truth. Why is this? Probably because from the very beginning, many believed in the rumour that there is bullying among girl groups in the entertainment industry. But some activists used what is claimed as ‘evidence’ to cleverly fabricate stories and to stir up the innocent and trusting public.
The first time I heard about the news of Hwayoung being bullied, I asked “So you’re saying that T-ara’s Hwayoung was bullied”? Because this it not the truth. Recently, I went with T-ara to their Tokyo Concert to gather information, and Hwayoung and the other members got along very well. Used in relation to her, the word ‘bullied’ is inappropriate. Born with a beautiful appearance to a relatively well-off family, she grew up lacking nothing. And also with her father’s vigorous support for his daughter to become an artist. (Personally finding his way to a large agency company for his twin daughters to become artists, and interfering with CCM with all his might, a father like this, if his daughter really was bullied, would he really stand by and do nothing?)
Of course, because young girls are grouped together in girl groups, issues of envy and jealousy will come up sometimes. (This is true not only with T-ara, but also other girl groups). But to part of the public who are on a witch-hunt against T-ara, these issues were not small conflicts, but collective violence. I can guarantee, such incidents did not, and could not possibly exist. But the public believes that T-ara members are bullies, without a doubt. Therefore, some of the members’ past and private life etc have also been dragged out into the public for discussion. Even more cunningly, netizens have packaged and claimed their actions on the internet as done to protect the victim Hwayoung from the other members’ violence and bullying.
T-ara is now fully wounded. But the cruel public continues to use their hatefully crafted products (i.e the ‘evidence’) to mock them. They truly see their own actions as legitimate and just. T-ara’s Hwayoung was not bullied. Even if there was conflict with Hwayoung, the level of intensity and strength compared to the bashing now done to Tara is not even one in a million.
The public only believes what it wants to believe. The more frightening part is that they will never admit or accept any rebuttals to the contrary. Their reaction to this article will probably be, “Oh, he must have received money from Kim Kwangsoo.” But this is not a rebuttal. It is the truth that those who hate T-ara never want to believe.

don't worry, i don't hate them, i only not respect them anymore. i came from a country that have many problems, corruption, lies everywhere, never appreciate their own cultures, etc. that's why i adore a country like korea (well, actually east asia) who always appreciate their own history and cultures. but how korean react about these scandal just make me so dissapointed. recently there's a bullying issue in my country (even that issue was aired on TV), but they never do something like Knetizens did. the difference in the bullying issue in my country, they really have a proof (they have the video), but people reaction never like how Knetizens and Kmedias who even make a fake information and screencaps and almost all korean hate T-ara just based on rumors.
lol how can i hate you min young? you are T-ara fans and still stand for them. i can't hate T-ara real fans

i am half korean/malaysian...and i just join international fansite like this (diadem) coz i don't know much about korean language... i'm in Malaysia right know...my friend just said that t-ara situation is really bad but not much if compare when first day this stupid issue happen..i will ask my friend and after i receive it i will inform here okay

If they didn't like it, why didn't they switch off their damn tvs or change the channel instead of watching T-ara throughout the whole show? If you hate something, just stay away from it. I know it's a tv show but they had a choice. i change the channel whenever I see someone that I despise on tv.
It seems like the netizens hate T-ara A LOT but yet they seem to be more interested in T-ara compared to their fans. I hope MBC doesn't succumb to the pressure by these ignorant netizens and apologize.

"We're sorry we didn't edit a few guests in our show so that the show wouldn't have gaps in the middle" I mean come on really? What are they going to do with the apology? What's been aired has been aired.

agree..plus crazy netizens alleged that hyomin poke hwayoung eyes in this video but actually hyomin accidentally poke her left cheek..
something is wrong with netizens eyes..

Hwayoung is bullied?
ashortmomentinlife:

As a pro T-ara Queen’s I wouldn’t force people that tries to defame T-ara to read this post. If you are anti-T-ara and you are unwilling to accept what we pro-T-ara thinks in this matter, you are advised to leave this post immediately.
Since the controversy started, we Queen’s have been going through so much pain in defending what we had always believe in.
When the sudden influx of antis just flooded in, we remain calm and choose to believe in T-ara.
We waited for the official announcement to prove them wrong, but antis seems unconvinced.
Angered, they began to search for evidence that Hwayoung is indeed bullied to strengthen their foundation.
They said that the agency is lying and all sorts of things refusing to accept the official statement.
Even when Hwayoung herself convey the message for them to stop all these, they would give excuses such as Hwayoung being forced to tweet.
When an article about Hwayoung apologising to Kim KwangSoo after this whole incident, they choose to ignore that has ever happened and AGAIN return to prove that Hwayoung is bullied.
They refuse to give the scandal a rest, in the name of pro-Hwayoung fans. I’m sad to say but they have failed to notice the real importance here. Hwayoung had always been a very obedient girl. As the second maknae in the group, it is only normal in this society where age matters significantly, that Hwayoung listened well to her unnies. Taking advantage of these, more evidences had been gathered and finally, even the Queen’s that has hold on so far began to waver, and T-ara is losing their fans day by day. It’s really unfortunate, but I’ll just say this one more time:
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.
We, the Queen’s, swear to stand by T-ara side, through their ups and downs.
We will, in the name of T-ara, defend T-ara through any controversies.
When T-ara commit mistakes, we accept their mistakes and lead them to the right path.
When T-ara achieve milestones, we celebrate as one unit, and embrace the sense of togetherness.
In this difficult times, we will not falter, we will not be misled, we will stay strong, and come back as a stronger individuals.
Evidence time:
I’ve been browsing through the web these few days and THANKFULLY, som

"The situation is at a point where it's finally calmed down."
Finally is right. This whole thing has been blown waaaay out of proportion by anti-fans and ex-"Queen's", or so they would have called themselves a while back. Kind of makes me sad that these are people who once called themselves T-ara fans and supporters. Some support they're giving, eh?
I've also started noticing that things are more calm than they were say three or four days ago. Hopefully this means that T-ara will finally start having some sort of peace.
Whatever the case, T-ara will take something from this. If the bullying is true, then they will learn that bullying has severe consequences. If it's not true, then perhaps they will learn that a few ambiguous tweets, followed by another ambiguous tweet can lead to trouble. And that their "fanbase" isn't exactly stable, so it'd be best to act accordingly. I do know that internal conflicts will arise. That's a given, and it doesn't happen exclusively to T-ara. Hopefully next time an issue arises within T-ara, they will know not to reveal it to the public and to try their best to resolve any problems they have.

Fans want to believe what they want to believe, even if it's not true.

[RUMOR VS FACT] T-ara’s bullying case: Evident #5
Netizen posted this:

At the beginning of T-ara’s episode of KBS “Star Life Theater,” all the group members lined up to give an introductory greeting. As all the members pointed at the camera, to signal the start of the show, Hyomin oddly strikes her finger upwards, and accidentally pokes her finger at Hwayoung’s face.
The truth is:
This is the most funny one and just shows how desperate K-netizen to bring T-ara down!
‘Accidentally’!
How can you describe something accidentally as bully? I accidentally hit my friends head, that doesn’t mean I bully my friend. I bet a lot people out there also experience the ‘accidentally’ incident once in their life. Still unsatisfied? Okay, here is the video…

In this video we can see Hyomin turns her head and leaned her head towards Hwayoung as a sign of apologise after this ‘accidentally’ poking/hitting. She also showed the sorry expression but of course haters can’t see that. They just cap the video at certain part to shows that Hyomin hitting Hwayoung and idiots just believe that. The camera still rolling so of course she can’t apologise straight to Hwayoung that time. We never know what happened after the cut. If you notice, at the early of their speech, Hwayoung grab hyomin arm and also follow her silly act + tried to hide behind Hyomin. I think that’s why K-netizens only post the caps of this video as evidence to the public. If they post the whole video,peoples will know the truth!

[RUMOR VS FACT] T-ara's bullying case: Evident #6
Netizens post this:
Hwayoung is left out


The truth is:
Okay, I have to admit that K-netizens really good in manipulating information to ruining people’s life. They’re really smart.
Okay guys, the 1st & 2nd pictures is screencap from a video. Sorry, I can’t find the video (will update if I find it later). Just like they manipulate the screencap in case #5, they also do the same to this post. Here is the press photos T-ara @ Gimpo International Airport on 4th July 2011.


See the difference???
They just capped the video when Hwayoung stay at the back.Smart move, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb1JkY6oWP8&feature=plcp
(watch this fancam!)
After they posing for the camera, they started to move into the departure hall but Hwayoung move first and some members still posing for the camera. That’s why Hwayoung position is changed and she stay in the back!
Okay, now we move on to the 2nd cap. What’s wrong with walking alone??? They’re not a kids that need a parents/adults to hold their hands all the time.

For those who still love the girls, despite the drama.. Please show your support..

Why would you close it. Even disbanded groups have fan sites.

i will support hyomin no matter what....because i believe hyomin not evil person but i'm crying right now...bad thing will happen...t-ara will lost their fan tsktsktsk

I'm not Korean and not read Korean statement about the matter. And I know people start bashing Jiyeon, Eunjung & Hyomin about the twitter......Before you all start saying that i'm bias for the big 3 just read it first. This isn’t a biased opinion at all. As much as I may like T-ara but I’m not a die hard fan of them. i've just starting as Jiyeon, eunjung & hyomin fan and I have nothing against Hwayoung. This is what I personally think on the matter. The CEO should had left T-ara as just the 6 of them. If he really wanted more girls in a group, he should had created another girl group instead of bringing in additional members. Let them make their own name for themselves. Plus, it seems like Hwayoung is playing victim role right now and seeking support for something the fans aren’t even sure what’s going on. Instead of being on twitter, she should just wait until their CEO makes a statement. Wait until everything cools off and hope for the better. Then why is this happened? We should think about it..... hwa posting all those tweets when they’re already in a somewhat controversy right now? If she really think about T-ara she Shouldn’t post anything on those social media and the rest of the members just lay low for awhile? Or maybe Hwayoung misunderstood and thought it was for her... and I don't personally think that it was addressed to Hwayoung. That’s just make more war between their fans since the fans don’t really have a clue what’s going on, and what does 3 member really meant when they were writing those tweets. Also, those who are bashing Eunjung,Hyomin and Jiyeon right now, do you even know the whole story about the tweets and What they meant and who they were for? We are only assuming things right now because of Hwayoung’s injury. So we bash them now, but what if we were wrong? I surely hope that we don’t try to be hypocrite and say that we knew that they wouldn’t say something like that after all the bashing we were doing. Hwayoungahhhhhh you should clear & explain the whole thing, so the fans can calm down and for them to decide what side to take regarding this matter. I'm sure Eunjung, Jiyeon and Hyomin cry about this matter.....Jiyeon as always got bashing............and got hard time since debut as her fan i'm always.........Hwaiting....May god bless...just wait until the CEO makes whatever statement he has to make regarding this twitter controversy.

i dont really stay up to date with t-ara as much as i used to.
i wasnt even aware hwayoung was hurt, but i guess thats why i wasnt seeing her in any pictures of their recent japan performances. makes sense now. when i first heard their was an anouncement being made (from their facebook page) i had no idea that this was the reason behind it. i was hoping it would be some kind of anouncement on future tour dates. (possibly america! keeping my fingers crossed for the future!)
im still not sure whats going on. iread the story and the tweets, but i dont know korean and have to keep in mind when translated may not come off with the same tone and context as english. so it could be mistaken as harsh. or maybe it is harsh. i dont know, so i cant say for sure.
but what i do know is :
Hwayoung has come a long way after joining t-ara late. since her debut with the group she has changed the most out of any member. not only looks of course, but as far as stage presence, her rapping potential, (potential as a performer in general voice, dance) and her attitude in front of a camera is much more lively and fan friendly.
if it's one thing i have seen from hwayoung its that she has been one of thee most hard working and dedicated members of t-ara. and not only t-ara but in all of the k-pop scene. so much that hwayoung has become my favorite member.
i know there is alot that goes on that we dont see as fans. and i know there are times when even the best of friends have disagreements. so if these remarks are meant to be hurtful and to question hwayoungs dedication it comes off shocking to me, who as a fan has seen nothing but the opposite from her.
thats all i can really say. ill just remain in good faith and hope its all just a misunderstanding.
keep your head up hwayoung your fans will support you no matter what! same for the rest of t-ara!
we're always with you.

Huh....being scolded is never a great thing. I could probably compare Soyeon with SNSD's Jessica when it comes down to scolding. Both give off the cold vibe that tells me 'Yup, don't want to cross her even one bit. Gotta be extra careful'. Considering how overworked idols are, I don't think ANY average Joe would want to get on their bad side even one bit.
