드라마제작사에게 제작협찬이나 PPL이 중요한 사안임에는 틀림없지만 그것때문에 작품의 기획의도를 왜곡해서는 안된다. 한작품으로 대박을 노리는 건 어리석은 거다..천남은 제작협찬이 제로지만 ㅠ 난 포기하지 않는다. 돈은 더 열심히 할때 벌어지는 것이다.
"To drama producers, issues of production sponsorship, PPL etc are no doubt important, but to tamper with the drama's plan for these issues is not the way. A production that succeeds relying on despicable things, is very muddled. Although the production sponsorship for The Thousandth Man is zero ㅠ I will not give up. Money is something that you will have when you work harder."
T/N: This is a producer (also CEO I think) at Chorok Stars, a production company that produced Vampire Prosecutor and also Hyomin's The Thousandth Man

对于电视剧制作商来说，制作赞助啊、PPL这种问题毋庸置疑是重要的，但因此连作品的企划也篡改了是不行的。一部作品靠卑鄙的事而成功，很糊涂…千男的制作赞助虽然是零ㅠ 我不会放弃的。钱是更加努力就会有的。

The act itself is not unprofessional, but how they handled it was. I understand that if they predict Eunjung being part of the show would bring more harm than benefits to the show they can replace her. But why wait until now? And why don't be honest with her and make it clear of their decisions or doubts? Why keeping pretending that she would be part of the show when at the same time their are looking for a new actress? That's why this was unprofessional.

Now this is what I called "Bullying". Pretending to be all encouraging one day and backstabbing her in the next.
Even if it's for your sponsors, at least you'd have to call Eunjung for a talk about the situation. How can a production company do something as unprofessional as this ?
What can I expect from a drama that has a production team like this? Maybe leaving the cast was a blessing in disguise, it's better to take a rest than work with these kind of back-stabbing people. You'll never know what kind of things they'll talk and do behind your back.
To Eunjung: FIghting !! We'll always support you. There'll always be better things than this. Stay strong !!
And to Jin Seyeon: My advice is don't join this drama. I like your acting in 'Bridal Mask' so please don't ruin your reputation.

I admired SBS back then as to how they accepted Joo Ji Hoon despite him being blacklisted in other networks due to his drug case. I also admired SBS back then as to how they said they will keep Eunjung despite the bullying rumors. They could have rejected her when the T-ara controversy heated up, but they didn't. I was also happy that Eunjung's co-actors in the drama accepted her and encouraged her...
Then they allowed her to attend the press conference. She tried her best to be professional by smiling her best even though she is still obviously hurting. She smiled and laughed too sometimes during the event, as she tried to escape her pain and look forward to the drama. Eunjung's fans supported her in that event, with all the rice wreaths, etc. Now that ratings are high, and Eunjung is already rehearsing her scenes and her piano skills, they met an actress behind her back and replaced her arbitrarily, unilaterally, unfairly.
Those sponsors, ugh!
So SBS, Five Fingers production team, etc eventually gave in to the demands of those sponsors and anti-fans.
Cowardice. Scared of anti-fans, never cared for the actual fans.
They feared that Eunjung's appearance will give them losses? Wrong. They lost Eunjung too and the fans behind her.
They used her T-ara publicity, made her a fool by letting her practice for nothing, stabbed her in the back, abandoned her and crushed her pride like that.
Poor Eunjung, so defeated, so helpless, she had no choice but to accept their decision.
How can they treat their lead actress like this?
I posted so many good things about the drama. I even said this drama is nice because of the music story regardless of who the actors are. I am very sorry. I take my words back. Somehow I already got myself so invested in this drama with Eunjung in it. And I can't seem to see Hong Da Mi played by anyone else other than Eunjung. Perhaps out of my love for music and piano I will watch the drama in the future...perhaps next year or I don't know, time will heal these wounds. But for now, I can't seem to watch it knowing that Eunjung was betrayed this way.
Replacing her is probably not a problem with me if they did it before the press conference and they ride on the heat of the controversy a few weeks ago, but knowing how much Eunjung wanted this role, how she supposedly gave up WGM for this and how much she worked hard for this and she already attended the press conference... this unfair manner of replacement... ugh! I guess I will have to say pass... for now.
Dear May Queen, I am presuming that you treat your actors well unlike others... so I wish you the best in the ratings game in the Sat-Sun 9:50pm timeslot.
Eunjung, be strong. This too shall pass. There's no way but up!!! Fighting!!!
I hope the T-ara comeback single Sexy Love won't be jeopardized like this too. T-ara Fighting!!!

I am extremely disappointed wtih how they approached this. It is quite rude to do this to an actor no matter what, especially when you originally supported her and said you do not believe any of the rumors. Admittedly, they may not believe the rumors and all they care about is the revenue they will get. Like they said, they beieve that the issue revolving around T-ara probably increased their ratings so did they use her to be in the show just to get a base of followers to watch the first episodes and then let her go? It's all speculation but the bottom line is, she was under the impression she was starring in this drama and now this happens.
I hope that this action will have consequences on this drama. How many of us only wanted to watch this based on Eunjung being on it? I know I'm not going to support the drama anymore because of the underhandedness of their action. If I did, I would feel like I was supporting their action. I hope many others won't watch it too! Please tell me that the Food Support has been halted immediately and that money will go to a special project for Eunjung!
She must be devasted right now and I hope that those who love her are surrounding her with love and support.
Forever supporting Eunjung! Hwaiting Eunjung! Hwaiting T-ara!

I am so disappointed with SBS and to think i always thought SBS was way better than MBC & KBS but i guess i am wrong..
Jin Se Yeon is currently really famous in Korea because of Bridal Mask and i get it why they wanted to get her because she may get BM fans after it ended to transfer watching 'Five Fingers' but i wasn't even that impress on her acting in Bridal Mask i actually think Han Chae Ah acting is way better..
Plus Bridal Mask is successful because of it's awesome story and because of JOO WON!!!

what the hell is going on?? sorry to those who read this but i just can't hold it anymore,i hate sbs...and i hope this drama failure..rating always drop...sorry,they're really unprofessional.Eunjung already work hard,appear on press con..but still...sigh* they do this towards eunjung. Unacceptable....
korea entertainment is worse....really worse...sbs is worse than ccm i think sigh*

Oh well this was just it.. i am so not watching 'Five Fingers' anymore.. i love Changwook & want to support him but after what 5F production did to Eunjung i could no longer support them even if baby Changwook is still in the cast..
How the hell could they be so disrespectful to Eunjung?! The least thing they could have done was be honest to her & tell her DIRECTLY that they were replacing her not make her rehearse her lines then replace her the next morning.. Or better they should have replace her BEFORE the press conference.. Imagine how hurt Eunjung is feeling now.. i even felt betrayed how much more to her??
i know that it's all about MONEY & RATINGS,, so what i'm saying is atleast they should have done this way before the drama started airing & way before the press con & please atleast inform the person you're replacing.. 5F rating for the first 2 episode was really good actually (they were first on their timeslot) so they maybe afraid it'll go down if Eunjung appear..

No, people have different opinions, but they use facts and polite opinions to talk about it.
Read your comments. All you did was criticizing us and writing down sarcasm and you call that different opinions ?
And you dared post all these comments with 'I don't know' phase ?
And you're still thinking you're not a troll ? Pfft .....
I've seen on and off stage more than a couple of times WITH MY OWN EYES. I've been their fan for two years.
You should have kept silent when I gave you those information about Eunjung performing while injured. I'm using a fact to prove how you were wrong, and yet you reply me with with these sarcastic comments.
Admit it. You're here just to troll and don't know much about T-ara at all. That's why you're embarrassing yourself like this.

I've seen some fans in Diadem that have different opinions but that is very common since not everyone has the same view but - surprise,surprise,it's seems like there's a troll/trolls in this site.
Okay guys,let's try to be nice here.Eunjung is not my favourite member but seeing you bashing a QUEEN hurts a QUEEN'S like me.Didn't they already suffer enough from all those antis, and their so-called fans who turned their back against them just because of unconfirmed bullying rumors?
Do bear in mind that Hwayoung is not the only one who suffer from all those "bullying".At least she has thousands of people who support her while T-ara basically has none.Oh wait,they do have.Loyal QUEEN'S will always support them and never jumps into conclusion hastily.
Sigh,just when I thought T-ara's biggest controversy is slowly dying down,this BS happen.Poor her.She worked so hard by practicing her lines,facing dozens of reporters and trying to hold back her tears during Five Fingers press conference,tolerate for all those criticism for appearing in it,took piano lessons but suddenly BAM! it all gone to waste.
p/s:Sorry if I'd offended anyone.We as QUEEN'S need to stay strong for our girls and let them know that they still have us

Eunjung and all T-ara should be cameo in "SHUT UP NETIZENS"

i really hate what's happening now to T-ara, especially to Eunjung... Eunjung being removed in advertisements, cancellation of WGM, five fingers... argh darn!
Why the hell did this things need to happen!!!
This issues might cause them to mentally breakdown...Omg i hope Our girls would stay strong...
>.<

oh my!!!..i really hate how tv networks handle t-ara's controversy
because of what are they doing they are adding more flames to the fire
:(

This is just like backstabbing Eunjung! Finding a replacement actress even when she have already practiced for her lines with the other actors and practiced hard for the piano. i can't express my disappointment with the drama producers for approaching Jin SeYeon to fill in Eunjung's role.

I'm trully angry and sad!
She was working without knowing what was happening behind her back.
Their hypocrisy in encouraging her and searching a new actress in the same time make me sick!

why cant they have a nice(?) discussion between sbs, production crew, eunjung and her agency..why should they go to the media to announce it without inform the other party..
talking about professionalism..pfft..

If the producers and advertisers are so concerned, that's fine.
All I can say is: BOYCOTT FIVE FINGERS.
No reason to watch it now.

saying a mastermind orchestrating the whole are quite a long shot, in my opinion. if anything, only the current 'top' girl group wanted T-Ara out because T-Ara if not the best, WERE on their way in becoming the best girl group in Korea.
but, 'ones entitled to ones opinion'. have your say.

I'm confused ... so this is SBS's decision or something and not an agreement ? Or is it another rumor ?
If you're here just to troll, then leave. I can take BS from other places but not here.
Eunjung don't have enough determination ? Are you kidding me ?
DO I HAVE TO POINT OUT HOW MANY PERFORMANCES SHE WENT ON STAGE WHILE GETTING INJURED?
Last year she took shots just to get on the goodbye stage for YaYaYa. Early this year she stayed on stage in Lovey Dovey performances until she can't put up with her injuries anymore.
Her determination is second to none and everyone knows it. To be saying things like this mean you don't know them at all.

i really mad right now....my heart just want to explode...hope will receive good news

Those sponsors are so unfair. If people aren't going to buy their products doesnt mean its going to be Eunjung's fault. It can be because of their products quality or people just aren't interested. I feel bad for Eunjung, she's probably all ready prepared to film her very first scene for this drama and then this emergency meeting happens. Whatever the final decision is I hope Eunjung can stay strong and rest lots. Eunjung fighting!!

Depression + heart attack + shock + traumatized...
Guess businessman are all selfish... >.< it'd be good if one or two sponsor doesnt care about majority not buying the products..>.<

Enjung was hurt cuz antifan and now she was hurt again cuz sponsors. It's so unfair



Queen's don't want her to get hurt any more.

if they throw eunjung out, queens will not watch the drama. there are still queens who didn't turn their back on t-ara.they still have a lot of supporters.so why worry? f*ck those assholes...people might not buy their products not because of eunjung,it's because of the quality of their product.

Bullflippin. >.<
I always hated product placements in dramas, but it was understandable because they semi sponsored the drama. But now they get to make decisions about the main actress?! Bull.
