*Nods*
I know a lot of people have been saying that Hwayoung was hurting from all those so-called bullying "evidence" but they forgot the most important thing - T-ara.They are the one who suffered the most.Like you've said,Soyeon cried,Hyomin cried.Now,we just have to wait for Eunjung to cry too from those heartless reporters who just want juicy gossips for their articles regardless of the accuracy of the news.
I really sympathy T-ara.At least Hwayoung has thousands of people supporting her from all around the globe while T-ara basically has none.Oh wait,they still have loyals QUEEN'S that don't simply jump into conclusion and bash other parties,like us.
It's okay,girls.You still got us no matter how thousands of so-called fans are now turning their back against you.

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."

After Soyeon cried on the interview,now Hyomin cried too. Seriously,even though I don't know them personally,my heart was hurt too. Oh my.... this is a dark times for T-ara and Queen's indeed . Stay strong for both of us!

This article is obviously a jab at the netizens who are questioning Soyeon's "determination" after the accident. To be honest I hope she does just take this time to rest and relax, car accidents are no joke, especially one as serious as the one she was in, but I can't help but feel like the article is CCM's subtle way of trolling the netizens, especially after their extremely foolish behavior over the last two days.

Reading the comments on AKP just make me thinking that some netizens are just either plain dumb,stupid or both.She was seriously involved in a major car accident and they have the guts to say "Oh,that crappy girl deserve more than that","She need to die from all those bullying","I believe none of the bully's words (during the interview) ,etc...
It breaks my heart seeing those harsh comments especially since Soyeon is my bias. The year 2012 really put her to test as T-ara's leader.Hope everything's alright and they can come back strong as ever.

I found a very short translation of the keypoint of what soyeon said about the bullying controversy by Nath's translation. ”she blamed it on herself because she wrote a tweet that became a big deal and is the leader.” ”soyeon said she’s afraid to turn on the tv or go on the internet after everything that happened” - Nath’s translation. It really hurts me to see soyeon cry and putting the blame all to herself to protect the other members. T-ara stay strong true Queen's will always be there for you.
Please remember to like the video

If you actually read the news on Nate the article said the Press Conference would be on 14:00 (2:00PM) in Seoul Lotte Hotel, Crystal Ballroom in 2nd Floor on the 16th..

The heck with Antis and their xxxx.. I'm watching Music Bank now and DAY BY DAY is still #3 on the K-chart!!! (after B2ST & PSY)
There's no stopping these girls
Damn... if only it wasn't for the scandal, T-ara would've dominated the airwaves on August with three dramas, variety shows and a powerhouse of a song..

Solo schedules were left unchanged.
Good luck to Hyomin, hope the press act civil.

found it on tumblr
T-Jinyo and Protests
Lately these few days, it is no longer about who’s right and who’s wrong.
It’s no longer about whether or not Hwayoung is bullied.
What is really going on is how to bring down T-ara.
So far, this is the biggest scandal in T-ara history.
Yes, we have Jiyeon scandal, Hwayoung lovey-dovey scandal and all sorts of things.
But those are not T-ara brightest days.
T-ara is still that group that is childish in the public’s eye.
Nobody really bothers whether T-ara survive the scandal or gets beaten by it.
But lately, T-ara has been clinching many achievements.
Dominating the Japan market with their various hits.
Dominating the first half of 2012 with purely one single.
As a result, people felt threatened by this, they’re jealous, they want to fight against T-ara but bringing them down is very difficult.
So when this type of scandal appear, they quickly utilises the media to defame our Queens.
The media, evil as always, will do whatever it takes to increase the number of viewers/readers to their ‘news’. It doesn’t matter if it’s fake, if it’s based on no evidence. As long as it’s attractive, people will read it, they post it.
Exaggerating the news, that’s what media does best.
Just like how teen crimes are exaggerated in the UK, sites like allkpop just keep on posting news of baseless conjecture.
Yes they have sources, but they take advantage of the fact that we, international fans, do not read Korean and claim that they translate it exactly how it’s written when it’s not.
When things like proofs against bullying appears, they take forever to post them onto their site, cause it would mean the drama is ending, readers count will dropped.
That’s what the media wants, bunch of scrooge claiming any benefits available without the slightest business ethics being put in consideration. It’s business after all, yes it’s entertainment world, but this is all business, it’s all about the money.

What are those? EGGS?
Seriously what do they hope to achieve by these I really don’t know.
I don’t see how throwing a few eggs at CCM is gonna bring the whole building down?
It’s not like throwing eggs and conducting these protests are going to make KKS so scared to bow down before them. What do you expect? Like KKS has egg-allergy or something? =____=
These are people, who act rashly without thinking.
They protest in the name of Queen’s of which I’m really ashamed of.
They demand truth, truth about the scandal when it has already been given to them, that there is NO BULLYING.
They say as T-ara fans, they’re very angry and they demand explanations.
What explanations do you want? That there is bullying? So you just gonna keep throwing eggs no matter what explanation is provided cause you only accept the explanation that there is bullying?

Exactly what I’m saying people, T-Jinyo and these so-called Queen’s are one group. Yes they don’t contact each other but their purpose is the same: To have CCM/KKS/T-ara confirmed that there is bullying. Their purpose is the same but the outcome they hope to achieve is different.
T-Jinyo are wolf in sheep’s clothing bunch of fools. They act all high and mighty, fight in the name of justice, demand fairness and equality, demand bullying to be eradicated but all they want is for T-ara to be disbanded. Based on what I’ve been hearing, T-Jinyo is headed by a 15-year-old. I mean like seriously? You can’t even feed your xxxxing self, and you form this hypocritical organisation to brings down a CORPORATION? T-Jinyo have what? hundreds of thousands of people? And all that turns up at the protest like what? 6? Keyboard warriors, keyboard warriors everywhere. If you want to bring across the message, do it the diplomatic way. They want to talk to T-ara, why? Usually when things go wrong in, let’s say, a supermarket/fastfood restaurant you automatically ask to look for the? MANAGER! that’s right. T-Jinyo are bunch of fools that lose to KKS and are just trying their luck by pressing T-ara to say out the ‘truth’ they are looking for. But when T-ara say there is really no bullying, I’m sure they’ll just say that KKS is doing the trick again.
I mean, LET’S SAY, T-ara did bully Hwayoung, why would they even own up?
Why are all these brainless people trying to take T-ara down with such cheap methods? They’re the real bully, media are the real bully, but nobody cares, cause they’re wasting our precious time
So people, like what the American president say,” We don’t negotiate with terrorists”
We, Queen’s, should do the exact same thing and say: WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH BUNCH OF CRIMINALS TRYING THEIR LUCK IN BENDING THE TRUTH. (I mean, protesters are criminals aren’t they? )
Meanwhile, these fake Queen’s demand the same ‘truth’ but not because they want to bring down T-ara, they’re not as wicked and evil as T-Jinyo but they’re even more selfish than T-Jinyo. They want to feel better, to feel compensated. Let’s just ignore them should we? They’re at the road’s end and the best thing they can do is throwing eggs. They can’t even afford watermelons to throw. Pathetic bunch of crowd.
To end off, these madness will end. it will end. and it’s all up to KKS on how he will solve it. Either that or the media decided to post some truths finally. We as fans there’s really nothing we can do except in helping proving there is no bullying and stand by T-ara during these difficult times. Don’t have a change of heart into other fandoms and don’t EVER bash T-ara, then you’re no different than the antis and I’m just gonna troll you like all the other antis.
Nights, gonna be less active for this week due to exam

You asked a very good question. For me, it's okay to doubt. It just means that you don't have enough trust in them BUT it's perfectly fine (at least for me). The reason is YOU DON'T KNOW THEM. Nobody does except people who are close to them and I'm sorry that fans do not belong to that category. I doubted them too, initially. Hell, I even believed that Jiyeon might have slapped Hwayoung. But when all that utter rubbish about Boram the umbrella destroyer, Jiyeon the book bully, Hyomin the eye poker and Eunjung the ricecake murderer came out, I just can't. So does doubting make you a "fake" Queen, I don't think so since well, you are still here. About being delusional. err I am not sure to what extent is your delusional level. If you believe that T-ara are a bunch of angels, then you are delusional because obviously they are not. Angels should go to heaven, not stay on Earth and get tormented.
I am getting tired of all these arguments on whether there's any bullying or not. This article is right by saying believe whatever you want to believe but yes I agree with @klee, it's a bit bias towards there's no bullying. It doesn't matter anyway cause in the end, some fans will believe that there's no bullying, some fans will believe that there's bullying but they learn to forgive and some antis will always believe that there's bullying. So it's perfectly balance. As long as you are happy, believe whatever you wanna believe. Just don't go overboard like what the antis did. I personally believe that T-ara is not a bunch of bullies but I don't completely deny the fact that bullying might have happened. It's something like you believe that you can get A in exam but you don't deny the fact that you won't be able to get an A. There's a difference between I AM SURE that there's no bullying and I BELIEVE that there's no bullying. (Urgh, this sounds confusing). Never mind. I might be delusional then but I'M A HAPPY DELUSIONAL FAN. My point is believe whatever you want to believe, that's all.
It's too late now to analyse or blame on anything/anyone now. The damage is done and all we can hope is T-ara to bounce back or KKS to resign or T-ara to move to a new company or a news about Qri getting married. I want that Sexy Love NOW !!

to all those who wants the girls to tell the truth i have only 3 things to say which have already been mentioned here
a) i dont think they are in a mental state to face the media right now
if they say the exact same thing as kks how many ppl would believe them
c) to force them to say the truth and keep asking for it is not right i think and makes their situation only worse.
the most we can do is keep supporting them and wait for them to say about it when they are comfortable about it. not whenwe want them to say it.

More like "one lie lead to another lie". Whatever. At least we don't have to deal with his BS for awhile. T-ARA will, though.

because of this controversy, t-ara members will be too stress in the future esp in variety shows because everyone will watch them more closely and their interaction with the new members...
this will be too tiring for them, i mean having no rest no sleep and then be judge for little things now when attending shows will affect the girls surely.
i hope ccm have realize this things and stop adding new members already..The old members have no time and energy to babysit new members and expect them to be lovey dovey all the time.
gosh thinking about all the public attention when the girls do variety shows and inspect their interaction is giving me a headache

Written by a Woojung fan about Eunjung and the recent T-ara controversy:

Right now, it is as if we are in the centre of a vortex, in the midst of a temporary peace, unsure as to whether we are situated in the darkness before dawn, or whether we are about to face a greater storm.
I’ve followed the recent news silently, watching as things turned for the worse, and watching as Eunjung lost, one by one, all her work…losing the things that are the most important to her, things that she has worked for all her life. The hard work that this girl has put in for the past 3 years, all her sweat, determination, painful and sleepless nights, in exchange, she has received the label of “evil.” It’s unfair, really unfair. Too unfair.
But things in life are always as such. Because she is the most hardworking, because her work has had the most exposure, she was hurt the most. Had she been out of the spotlight, the harm to her right now would not be as great. But what did she? What did she actually do? These past few days, people have been trying to find blemishes on Eunjung’s profile, and what did they find? An edited video of her feeding rice cake. I cannot help but not say this, but Ham Eun Jung, your blemishes are so small and little that it pains my heart. But just like that, this one example was used to determine a person’s character and to deny her of everything. For a small act of horseplay. Is it fair? No it’s not.
But the world does not care about fairness, and it is likely that only the people who love her will care whether this is fair. I am a Woojung fan, but I hae always focused and praised Jangwoo and rarely Eunjung. But today, I want to talk about Eunjung.
A lot of people may not know it, but the thing about Eunjung that touched me the most was not her appearance, not her cuteness, not her aegyo. It was something unrelated to appearance, it was what she said: “I’m T-ara’s Eunjung.” It was the “T-ara” that she talked about all the time that made me look at her seriously. This girl, though participating in an individual programme, never forgot to mention and bring up her group. She came to participate in a solo programme that shows off a person’s individual charisma, but it seems as if she also carried the task of getting her group noticed. What impressed me was that she did not treat this as a burden. She really put in all her effort. She asked ahjummas, “Do you know T-ara? T-ara…” When she Roly Poly started playing in the car, she said, “Everybody quiet, listen to this!”
Girl group idols who participate in We Got Married are many, but comparatively, T-ara really has been mentioned the most. Roly Poly, Bo Peep Bo Peep, Lovey Dovey…each title song has followed along in We Got Married. Adding to that was the scene in MBC Gayo when Woojung Couple MC-ed together, where Eunjung fought for a chance for T-ara to have screen time. Eunjung weaved through the crowd just to bring her group to the front [T/N: this was seen in a fancam taken just before the countdown]. She was not the only female-idol MC there at the time, but she was the only one who, while participating in a solo activity, thought not of how to get more screen-time for herself, but of how to get more screen-time for T-ara.
At the MBC Gayo, Eunjung hurt her ankle…and the result? In less than a week, without rest, Eunjung went on stage to perform after receiving painkillers. This was not some large concert performance, but only a small stage on Music Bank. But for T-ara’s first comeback of the year, she pushed through. Compared to this, filming her drama [Queen Insoo] with a cast is nothing. Such professionalism, pain and determination, her achievements gained in exchange for her blood, sweat, and her own health. In return, she gained this label of “wicked” and “bully”. Is it fair? No it isn’t.
Some people say, she came in last at the Idol Olympics, so what does she know about determination? But those people do not know, or pretend not to know, that the day before Idol Olympics, she filmed Running Man until 3am. For a 25 year old girl who has injured her left leg three times – having torn her ligaments, received surgery, received multiple doses of painkillers to perform on stage, having appeared on shows on crutches, having filmed running and jumping the night before until 3am only to wake up early in the morning with a smile on her face to participate in the Idol Olympics, for a girl like this, does coming in last place really mean she has no determination? … Really?
Her leg… it can no longer withstand such intense sports anymore. She is only a bird with clipped wings and can no longer fly around easily anymore… This is why I have always looked at this girl with fondness. If she was wicked, lazy, black-hearted, went around lecturing people while not working hard herself, then I would not have nothing to say. But the truth is not like that. Even if only from We Got Married, I can see the effort she puts in to maintain and safeguard T-ara. Even if only from We Got Married, I can still see her professionalism and perserverance for her work. Even the Korean press has reported before that she has the busiest schedule. Let’s look at what the press have said before:
“Schedules that even popular SNSD members, IU, and even male idols have found difficult to complete, even when she has completed such busy and hectic schedules, which is by itself not an easy task, there has been never any news her fainting or falling unconscious. Even when she is tired, she has never been called out for attitude problems. This is the ‘woman of steel’, T-ara’s Eunjung.”
Enduring the craziest schedules, always undertaking superhuman amounts of work, yet never complaining or slacking off. Always the optimistic and bubbly one, the one who would step in for other members if anything happens to them. This is the Eunjung that makes my heart ache. The achievements that she has gained using everything she had in her life, all destroyed just like that… Rumours and insults, just like that, destroyed a girl. But, what exactly did she do wrong? What did she do wrong to ever have to suffer such accusations?
She was clearly the last to tweet, and yet it was reported that she was the first one to do so. Why did people have to photoshop those screencaps like that? I don’t know. But let’s look closely at her tweet:
“A person’s status is created by people; determination as well can also be created… Aigoo, it’s upsetting. Should be considerate to those beside you”
What I want to say is, regardless of whom this tweet is directed to, I first have to say that coming from Ham Eun Jung, there is nothing wrong with it. Because her status was indeed created from her own struggles, from her own hard work all these years. Indeed, she was not given this status, but created it herself. Because she used her determination to complete the busiest schedules. Because she is clearly not a selfish person. If she were one, she would not have performed on stage while injured. So what she said, she did. She was not being scornful or taunting. As one of the longest T-ara members, the first leader, and the member with the greatest responsibility, she has the qualifications to say these words.
Discussions always tend to support the weak, but what is right and wrong is not measured by a person’s strength or weakness or pity for the weak. Behind those who are strong, are also blood, sweat, and tears.
Ever since I have slowly come to understand this girl, I wished for her to go solo and to find her own path and success. But I also realize that she is the one least likely to leave T-ara even if she has the most potential to succeed in doing so. I have always thought that she has a sense of stubbornness and determination towards T-ara. In Star Life Theatre, when thinking about T-ara 10 years from now, she cried. There will come a day when all their current glory will eventually fade away, and what brilliance she can hold onto and make into reality now is only temporary. Yet knowing this, she is like a moth to a flame, and will continue to try her best. Because, for this, she has already put in too much effort for too long. Eunjung has said before self-deprecatingly: she is destined to work forever. I agree, she is. Her stubbornness and determination: to get T-ara to the top.
But when hope is near, it is completely destroyed. I feel saddened and heartbroken for how cruel fate is to this girl. She should not be treated in this manner. Did she do anything wrong? I would not say that she is a flawless goddess. She isn’t. Everyone is responsible to an extent for T-ara’s current situation, but the blame and criticism she is getting is too much. She has become a figurehead for netizens to express their anger on.
Yesterday, I told my friend, let this be an once-in-a-lifetime life lesson then. But I know this is only something said in optimism, something that is easily said. I worry for Eunjung, but I also believe that she will grow stronger and learn from this experience. This girl, who hides her weakness in an outer appearance of strength, will either collapse or get back up stronger. I believe it is the latter. I too am looking forward to the return of a stronger and more determined Ham Eunjung. And more importantly, I know that she is not alone: she has her family and people who admire and believe in her.

I hope Allkpop in the list!
i really can't stand allkpop which only upload negative story about t-ara..and never a positive one..

Poor T-ara, they were subjected to a lot of pressure. All is wrong. But Queen's still want know the truth. And many Queen's left of T-ara. I'm Queen's but I very admired Sone, Cass, B2uti, ELF,... bcz they always solidarity whether what happens, always side idols. But Queen's when idols have scandal, they left T-ara and divided? Why can't we solidarity? Plz, don't say anything when don't know true.

wonder how its gonna affect the malaysia and hong kong concert...

I don't think this would be enough to clear Soyeon from the eyes of those who hate the group right now. After all, the PD might just be trying to save the reputation of the show itself by doing this.
I think it would still be best if CCM would allow the girls to try and explain their sides on this issue. Hopefully, this would take off most of the tension.

I'm sad that they are not able to tell us anything. Eunjung obviously wants to speak out but she can't. I feel like she is thanking fans for their support and she is sorry that this has all happened.

It's funny. When twin apologized everyone said it was not an admittance of guilt, when it clearly was. EJ says sorry on her personal fan page, and y'all start saying she's admitting guilt, when she's really just telling her fans she's sorry they have to go through this with her. This is the problem with thinking you have intelligence when you are a teenager.

There's been stories surfacing that Hwayoung's sweet and courteous as compared to the other members.
When they said this to you, why didn't you use this opportunity to defend the characters of the other girls and say anything about them being sweet and courteous as well? You completely deflected the statement by stating that you did an investigation of one case that you said that the police found to be untrue (the same police who came out and said that you never contacted them).
Hwayoung's removal from T-ara is not due to bullying, but because a refusal to appear on a live TV music program on the 27th."
So her contract was terminated because she refused to appear on ONE music program? Isn't this a bit extreme for someone who is injured at this time and has been seen using a crutches and a wheelchair to get around?
— Through a police investigation, we learned the rumor was created by kids.
If this was done through a police investigation, why did the police department themselves release a statement saying that you never contacted them?
"In the other T-ara members' perspective, being the one who joined the latest (Hwayoung) and causing an issue was not something they wanted to see. Hwayoung's personality is tough and somewhat manly. [Therefore], living with the T-ara members was a little difficult for her. So of course, the other T-ara members will also have some problems with that because they're not able to adapt well with her."
What does her not being as feminine as the other girls have to do with her having a difficult living situation with the other girls? f(x)'s Amber is a tomboy and she gets along fine with her fellow members. And also, you just hinted around to the fact that the girls from T-ara had an issue with her because she was the latest member who joined and they didn't like the fact that fact that they were getting a new member as it was "causing an issue". You're giving people amo to assume that they didn't like her addition and that they could have taken this out on her through the alleged bullying.
"Staff members are underpaid and are hurt by everything happening now also. A person who is close to Hwayoung even sent a message out of hate to a T-ara member."
If you know that your staff members are underpaid, why don't you pay them a higher salary? It's really sad that you know they are underpaid and that they deserve more yet you didn't increase their pay.
"[What happened] started out as something like a joke amongst young people
If you knew it was a joke, why didn't you clarify this a long time ago instead of saying that it was hackers? You released a statement days after the tweeting incident so you had enough time to identify who the tweets came from and state it in your first announcement.
But if people publish information [with no proper proof] whatsoever, that just causes more trouble to stir.
Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. What proper proof have you provided throughout the statements that you released yourself?
T-ara will continue [to attend to] their schedules as planned."
Then why has all of the appearances been canceled?

Wait.... He says they removed her because she didn't appear on a single tv program.... that's like a job kicking an employee for missing 1 day out of 2 years of work....
Even if the other stuff he says are true, they have lied so much that I'm having a hard time believing anything they say.
