  8. [13.01.22] T-ara Soyeon's agency, "Just friends talking about friends, not celebrities" T-ara Soyeon's "Stitch" controversy is unfair. T-ara's agency Core Contents Media said to media on the 22nd, "Soyeon and her friends started to talk about tigers on clothing and then Stitch, which lead to them discussing the resemblances. The girls are all clothing brand enthusiasts who graduated together and whenever they were discussing about how often their friend wears a certain brand. The name of the character Stitch being associated with the celebrity has a less than 1% chance to be true." For the wedding part, they explained, "An acquaintance who Soyeon graduated with will have her wedding soon and that's what Soyeon was talking about with her friends. The celebrity being mentioned was speculation brought up in an online post and should not be written as fact by journalists." Soyeon's agency finished by saying, "We're sorry all these things happened and she will be more careful in the future." *** Source: http://news.sportsse...ain/1132043.htm Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem
