I have conflicting feelings about this report. On one hand, I would love to see her back with T-ara. But on the other, since she's technically freed from KKS clutches or the CCM umbrella, she should pick a company that has no relations with them at all. Btw is that a recent photograph? If so I am glad her ankle seems to be better.

Am so thankful that there's a article that's rational at least. It had/has been a rough 6 days for T-ara, Hwayoung and the fans. And I am glad the situation is slightly calmer now at the very least. Still very annoyed at KKS and his highly incompetent PR team. :/ Oh yeah hyotheleader@tumblr has been posting a ton to refute all the silly rumours. So you can go there and read if you like. (:

Don't doubt this. *sigh* .... There's nothing we can do about the antis at this point and we are very much outnumbered I'm sure.I'm more concern with the safety and well-being of the members. I have no doubt that S.Korea is a lawful society but I can't help but be worried for them nonetheless.

It's for the best. Wonder if the "comeback" and other overseas concerts will be postponed too.

How is this man still employed? For 30 years and counting to boot. Wow....how utterly selfless of him. *eyeroll*

nice to meet you. i've been a ccm - gm trainee since july 31 2011. funnily, if all these were true, why only post them now. i'm just waiting for an article to state that jiyeon along with the others are the antichrist or something along those lines..

Is that even legit? Can a Eunjung fan verify if that's her real cyworld? THIS. lol plus the gif about Jiyeon hitting Hwayoung in Hello Baby - ep 2. No one mentioned that she basically did the same thing to Qri right before she hit Hwayoung. She hits everyone... I have basically lost count. I remember IU being on the receiving end of a few of those in Heroes. No one said she was bullying IU then. Sorry for removing the rest of your quote but I agree with only that point. I wouldn't be worried for Hwayoung's career at this point. The amount of support and sympathy that she has been gaining(her followers count on twitter stands at over 200k. Pre-scandal it hovered around 80k?) coupled with her talent and being the most impressive during the "Day by Day" promos.... her career is very much alive. Plus there was some rumour pre KKS nonsensical press releases (ie yesterday) that she left CCM and signed with Cube ent. The first rumour did turn out to be true so we will see. To rehash a post I made earlier... Hypothetically, if the "bullying" did happen, the other members are already getting their desserts. Their reputation and careers are irrevocably tarnished. If it didn't (which I believe so) that makes them victims as well. More so than Hwayoung in fact as all their hardwork and sacrifices(literal blood, sweat and tears) came to naught (during these past 3 days.) Heck on tumblr, support posts for Hwayoung has hit over a thousand or two notes. But this one is almost offensive. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7yqeopwLA1qfdrf9o1_1280.png Doesn't work basically. Any rational comment will either be drown out in seconds or flagged. --- I'm really sorry for being lond winded and such but here is a food for thought. Hwayoung wrote/had a part in writing the rap for "Day by Day" thus improving a song which could potentially aid in making it a hit.(Not her first time to boot, she co-wrote another for another person whose name escapes me right now.) So why would any of the members "despise and bully" her when the said improvement could potentially boost their incomes/popularities. I know that my sentences aren't coherent right now (it's late - almost 3am and I had some drinks at my cousin's wedding earlier but I do hope you get my point.)

She is not the first nor will she be the last. Here are the names of some Idols who perfomed on stage while carrying injuries. 1. CCM: Eunjung (twice), Jiyeon etc... SM : Minho DSP: Nicole Starship ent: Bora There are a lot more to be honest, need i go on? It's quite common actually. Plus T-ara members have gotten a lot of flak in the past for lipsyncing. IDK? Maybe because she is the main rapper and it's her job? Hwayoung was at the rehearsal and was pulled out for whatever reason at the last minute. That probably threw them off. Remember Soyeon was busy with her drama so they were left WITHOUT two of the mains, give them a freaking break.

Okay, I just got home and haven't read any of the posts yet but really? Is this man living in his own bubble or what? LMAO yeah sure she would, after you basically tried destroying her career by saying that she is a diva. *facepalm* Going to quote a SNSD song... to Shannon, Dani and whoever else.. you better run run run run run.

Can't say I'm surprised. Disappointed yes. The reaction at the Mystic fancafe is kind of extreme though. It's not like they are the only ones who are angry/frustrated/saddened by this unfortunate turn of events. I just hope diadem doesn't go down the same path. I wonder what about the official fandom? It was just establish 2 weeks ago. To finally get one after 2 odd years of slogging and having everything in jeopardy not long after. Wow.

I was wondering the same. To miss both the main vocal and the main rapper who play prominent roles is a bit too much. It was hard to watch that performance but I commend them for sticking it out. Yeah, Hyomin is well known in the T-ara fandom for being a workaholic. And we have seen multiple times that Eunjung and the rest are almost perfectionists. They record their performances and beat themselves up for every minute mistakes. (Case point: EJ being all frustrated at herself for being too forceful in her dancing?) ... To be honest, I don't know what to think. I still don't see the members as bullies but neither do I see Hwayoung as the diva-ish kind. Extra: A ton of people has been quick to throw Jiyeon under the bus for being the number 1 bully. Really? Yoo In Na once said that she was as fragile as glass. And IU said that though she looks like a cold city girl, she is in actually fact a complete fool. Coupled with the fact that she is the member who gets flamed the most (Kim Tae Hee lookalike....the latest beofre this being the nong shim raymum fiasco). I'm not saying that she is as docile as a lamb but to say she's a callous bully is a little far fetched. Yeah I might seem like a gullible & deluded faceless stan to you but so be it. [/steps off soapbox]

Good, am glad they are handling this in a sensible way. It would be easy for the powers that be (who are in charge of this production) to cave in and remove her due to all the negative bashlash right now.

*sigh* that is completely false. please check their respective twitter accounts before jumping to conclusions.

This basically. All the name calling and so forth directed at the other members disgust me to be honest. Believe what you want. But if you want to outright bash the other members please direct yourselves to AKP. You will certainly feel at home there. External Stuff: Not sure if I'm allowed to link an external source but I just read this... http://hyotheleader.tumblr.com/post/28305477745/was-there-any-sign-of-trouble-in-t-ara-at-the-budokan

Doesn't help anything at all. In one stupid sweeping statement. KKS has probably tanished T-ara reputation for good. I'm really disappointed right now. Can T-ara ever recover from this mess? Or is this really the beginning of the end. It is almost impossible to be optimistic right now. [/still a Queen's though.] Hwayoung isn't my bias but I like her and thought she was definitely the most impressive one during the latest comeback. I'm sure she will be fine especially if the Cube rumours are true.

I just read the AKP piece. Wow talk about journalism at it's finest. Dear fans who are considering journalism as a future career please take careful notes from AKP. Industry insiders...really? A friend of a friend of a friend who happens to work across the street for a rival entertainment company perhaps? It was so ridiculous that I had to triple check the url to make sure it wasn't a satire (a la the onion.) edit: thank you for that.

Wow it seems it became worse as more time passes...Boram deleted Hwayoung? I don't know what to think anymore. Ugh.

...KKS never brings good news. Plus their PR team just suck big time. And the whole twitter thing has been blown out of proportion. T-ara members are basically infamous for having injuries. (So why would they be catty to a fellow down and out member? It doesn't seem logical does it?) Let's look at the injury timeline: July 2011: Hyomin fainted due to fatigue Nov 2011: Eunjung injured her ankle Jan 2012: Jiyeon collapsed due to fatigue March 2012: Not sure what happened but Soyeon was on clutches June 2012: Boram hospitalized due to acute gastritis Not to mention that Boram is just beside Hwayoung which probably means some of the members are together. So why would they air their dirty laundry on twitter of all things and potentially ruin their careers by "cyber bullying". Doesn't make any sense basically. On the flip side, any of them especially Hwayoung has been active on twitter lately. A part of me do wish that one of them would at least clarify or something.... *facepalm*

can't wait for the subbed version too. aww jiyeon and her obsession with nano blocks (don't blame her, they are addictive). plus the moment with her dad. so everyone is living on their own now, right? oh well... ep 2 should be up anytime now.

So excited for this. While I feel bad for babydino, EJ last and only RM appearance was in Ep 7 where she barely had much screentime. (But of course, if it was possible I would rather they all had a day off or something to recuperate…)

"Don't Leave" was pre-recorded and if you watched Day by Day, her voice is not up to par yet due to her nose injury (listen to the ending part). So glad to see that she is feeling better. Can't wait for her to completely recover. The dark hair suits her much better than the blonde. Qri & Boram in "Don't leave" Hwayoung just gets better doesn't she. Hopes Soyeon gets better soon too.

At a glance I thought Areum was IU. I probably need to get my eyes checked. Am looking forward to this. All the best babes! *sigh* Poor Jiyeon. I wonder how in the world did she injure her nose. o.O

huh what happened? poor babydino. hope she will recover asap. edit: she injured her nose.

It exceeded my expectations. Am a happy fan. Although I won't deny that I'm a little sadden that the others didn't play a part in the MV. Btw, here is coremidas' link...since they are the offical channel after all...

why am i not surprised? hah at least he didn't push it back for days. can't wait to see this in a few hours. (:
