You already know that antis are unreasonable, so why are you still questioning their behavior (by creating this thread)? I know you're frustrated and trying to argue with the antis, but let me tell you this:
1. It is pointless to try to convince them here (diadem). We aren't the antis.
2. It is pointless to try to convince them in general. Most, if not all, of the antis that I've come across (and I'm sure this applies to the rest of the antis) does not possess a basis of what I called valid reasoning. Their argument all rooted back to hate and jealousy (one of the most common statement is "they're so fake. They have plastic surgery", in which does not justify anything).
To sum it up, if their comments have valid reasoning, then you can argue with them, whether you agree or not. Else, ignore it. The chance of them understanding your arguments is very low.

It has nearly a month since the big controversy surrounding the popular idol group T-ara began. The girls have officially made their comeback to the K-pop scene with weekly music programs as well as a recent concert appearance.
T-ara attended the ‘2012 World Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources‘ concert in Jejudo Islands held on September 8th.
Other artists such as BoA, SHINee, 2AM, Wooyoung, ZE:A, EXO-K, Nine Muses, and A Pink also attended and put on stunning performances.
However, during T-ara’s performance some fans retaliated by turning their glow-stick off which was followed by a silent protest.
Meanwhile on September 18th, T-ara will be in Hong Kong for a documentary showcase.

I think is the best the little girls didn´t go on stage, I´m sorry for them, sure they were so happy to do it, but this was a BAD idea from the begining.
KKS is stupid, how can he bring more controversy to T-ara when the group is under the focus and every movement, word, photo etc is examined in detail? And how can he even think for a song called "SEXY" LOVE, is appropiate to bring little girls ?(I´ve always think KKS ia a pedophile)
maybe Music bank was canceled because they didn´t want to be in the middle of controversy because of the little girls on stage and it was a good pretext if they are coward to show T-ara.
Well i´ve read everything was fine, they were fantastic, but this is just prerecorded with fans, the big test will be live stage, but the girls can do it and i hope KKS doesn´t insist with the little t-ara.

Found on diademyeonism tumblr.

To be honest, I'm not surprised this has happened but I can't say that I'm disappointed. While I wouldn't have minded the children performing (especially since it was for such a short period of time), I wasn't particularly interested in it. Plus, this situation brought more controversy to an already sensitive situation involving T-ara so I think this was the best decision for them to make. I do, however, feel sorry for the children as I'm sure they worked hard and were looking forward to performing for the opening.

KKS, guess Im wrong about you
youre stupid alright but not that stupid, guess you do have some mischievous plan behind those idiocy huh?
using kids as a shield, cheers for that!

LOL Boram have the same size as the Little T-ara

yes! i guess it's this right:

I voted for Boram. She sings well and ought to have more lines in the song. And the more I watch her the more I realise how beautiful she is (especially when she smiles and laughs). And she is always funny and very charming in variety shows. She doesn't get enough kredit for this.

I think Boram is the most underrated. She has a good singing voice, but it has a lower range than the others. She has to sing on the higher end of her range to match the other girls. Maybe if they arranged one song to fit her voice people could hear how good she is.

putting the whole fiasco aside...
no. reasons:
- less line in the song for boram
- less screen time for boram
- unfair to boram

no, seriously, adding another members, while they're in the middle of crazy packed schedule esp with gangnam style ceo threatening them, will only create unhealthy competitiveness and tension between members. it's soo basic and obvious. jealousy and discrepancy aren't something shameful, it's very humane. how kks pulled on this kind of crazy management despite knowing all the consequences is really... amazing

maybe some of you aren't familiar with this, but i saw many celebrities who entangled in scandals resolve it with hand-written apology letter. i personally will take this as enough, as i can't think what else can they give us. indeed a direct statement like press conference is more preferable for some people, but putting myself in their shoes, i'd feel very scared to face reporters or even my fans, plus people will scrutinize from their facial expressions, intonation, etcetc. even if they're being sincere, when they're in depressed state, they'll easily make mistake which can lead into another misinterpretation. i hope t-ara can move on, fans can move on, let alone haters or antis whatever they do. it's not like t-ara never had antis before. yep the antis number is increased, and maybe some fans also left, but i'm sure they'll gain more new fans again in the future.
however, while i've moved on from t-ara/hwayoung debacle, i don't think i can let go off ccm. i'm still pissed by the way he who must not be named handled this, kicking out hwayoung while unprofessionally bashed her. *sigh* i actually hope for all of them to leave ccm, but i can't hope too much lol.

Actress Kim Hye Eun "Soyeon staying on Haeundae Lovers, please applaud!"





“It is not an issue that can be solved by leaving the drama. Ostracizing/bullying is clearly a serious societal problem, but where there is debate but no confirmed facts or truth, to unconditionally accuse and criticize young adults is not right. To push the young into a difficult situation because of the existence of a debate, is this something that adults should do?”
Actress Kim Hye Eun, who also appears in Haeundae Lovers with Soyeon, candidly expressed her thoughts about the T-ara issue. On the 28th with an interview with Daily Economy Star Today, Kim Hye Eun said “There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the drama, including Soyeon’s appearance on the drama and the Busan dialect, but on set, the atmosphere is still happy and enjoyable.” “It is true that there are many unfavorable aspects, but they have to be solved wisely one by one.”
Kim Hye Eun said that day: “To already have promised to appear in the drama, and to have already participated in over 5 filmings, behaviour like ‘Because of your response, I will cut you out’ is wrong.” “In the T-ara incident, most importantly, it is the adults who have made the bigger errors. I want to applaud the decision of the production team to continue working together under circumstances of debate in order to not disappoint the hardworking actors.”
She continued: “Partial conversations over twitter or SMS between young adults cannot be used to make judgments on everything.” “One cannot say who was at fault, but to avoid similar situations and to prevent kids from getting hurt, care and wise judgments are needed from adults. In particular, if the agency can take some action on behalf of the children, that would be great. Very anxious”
At the same time, she expressed: “No matter what the problem is, to just solve the superficial issue is not the way to resolve the problem.” She added, “Right now, Soyeon, as the object of anger, is in a dilemma. If she ignores the situation and chooses to leave the drama unconditionally, then the viewers’ wounds might feel more comfortable, but the heart will not be cured. Even if the surrounding circumstances are loud and noisy, isn’t it a good thing that the actors’ acting and the production team’s hardwork together receive praise for the drama?”
On the other hand, Kim Hye Eun’s charismatic acting as the wife of President Yang in Haeundae Lover has received praise.

@Klee, I understand your thoughts but I'll have to give my personal comments on some of the points you brought up. Again, no offense to anyone.
I admit that I'm bias and I tend to sway a little more towards T-ara compared to Hwayoung as I find it quite hard to balance equally between both sides. I apologize for that, it's just my own personal feelings and yeah I'm guilty for that. But don't misunderstand, I don't hate Hwayoung and I don't deny that she was a victim together with T-ara. I will never call her a xxxx because if Hwayoung is a xxxx, the rest of T-ara are xxxxxes as well.
Beauty Salon : I agree that it's Hwayoung's right to visit the beauty salon when she had her time off. The problem is she did it when the others were practicing hard (I guess) for the concert. Yes, T-ara should have understood that Hwayoung was frustrated and all that but THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A HUGE CONCERT THE NEXT DAY. You just can't expect them to go "Poor Hwayoung, we should let her do her manicure since she's injured while we'll continue to die here" (maybe Qri did that) but normal human beings will feel uncomfortable with her actions.
I don't know about you but I certainly won't like it if I am stressed up like a mad cow and someone is kinda enjoying herself in the midst of my misery. I don't even like it if my parents go for a holiday during my exam period. Although they don't help directly in my studies but I need them to be with me and I need them to give me the support that I need during difficult times. (I know I'm a bad daughter). The same goes to T-ara. They needed her to be there or at least not do some manicure while they were busy practising. I know it's selfish but maybe she can do her manicure err later?
Tweets : Said this gazillion times already. Everybody's at fault including Hwayoung AND T-ara (except Qri). They shouldn't have tweeted. But the main issue here is again with Hwayoung's continuous tweets even after KKS kicked her out. She seemed to know that she would be kicked out since she tweeted "The support of my family and my fans is worth so much to me. Please watch over me." I guess she was just taken aback by the reasons KKS gave and hence came up with the "Facts without truth" tweet. And then she apologized. She tweeted something that somehow went against KKS's statement and then she apologized for giving all the trouble. I would say she was immature but T-ara were immature as well.
I don't expect her to act all depressed but I don't expect her to publicly go to a concert and allow her sister to post happy selcas either. I don't know. Just try to do it secretly. Something bad happened, the other party are in deep xxxx and people expect you to behave as if you are in deep xxxx too. But well, I apologize again cause I should be happy if she's happy. It's just that unfair feeling I got when I saw how T-ara were slowly torned apart and suddenly there was this selca in my fb news feed.
And to sum it up, the reason I tend to side T-ara a tad more is because they are getting all the heat. Hwayoung only gets xxxx from Queen's but T-ara get xxxx from Queen's, the infamous netizens and the drama production teams due to KKS's brilliant decision. I'm sorry but I can't help believing the "fact" that Hwayoung didn't want to perform during Music Bank. I was laughing at Hyomin's cuteness for looking at the cue card while rapping but when I watched back, she was practically struggling to rap even with cue cards. I don't know whether Eunjung was prepared for Hwayoung's rap but the cue card was up when Eunjung started singing so ... I don't know ...
Despite that, I agree that Hwayoung definitely does not deserve that amount of hate from Queen's and if not performing was the sole reason she got kicked out, KKS is a .... (refrain myself from hating) . I see some Hwa stans hating on T-ara too. In the end it all depends on who's your bias in the group and who you choose to believe. But yeah, no bashing please.
It's almost 5am now. I can't think straight. Please pardon me for my language, the long rant and I apologize if I have offended anyone. Here's to wishing a pleasant September for T-ara and the end of their misery. Cheers and peace.

This will contain some sensitive topics, so if I offend you, please be aware that that was not my intention. Furthermore, because I’m sure that members of this forum are reasonable people, most of this will not even apply to you. However, there are some things I’ve noticed around the fandom that I believe require addressing – namely, anti-Hwayoung sentiments and “defending” T-ara from haters.
First of all, there’s one thing I’d like to make clear – Hwayoung is a victim. I’m not saying she was the sole victim in this controversy, like she was a perfect angel and the rest of T-ara are complete monsters that bullied her and forced her in a cupboard like Harry Potter or some farfetched story like that. BUT, in the light of recent news, a lot of people have forgotten one thing – Hwayoung was actually kicked out of T-ara. She is definitely a victim.
As such, it is very upsetting to me when I see fans bashing on Hwayoung; she is entirely undeserving of it and should instead be supported like the member of T-ara she is. I will list here the general things I’ve seen and make my rebuttal:
Deserving to be Bullied: This one is undoubtedly the rarest, but also the most disgusting. I am not kidding you – I have actually heard (or read, really) that because Hwayoung was the new member, any unhappy things she may have experienced were entirely justified. I honestly feel that I shouldn’t have to counter this one, but suffice to say that that belief is so vile I’m not going to get into that mess. No one deserves to be unhappy, and anybody who says otherwise…I recommend counseling.
Beauty Salon: This is a little more ambiguous. Because of Hwayoung’s injury, she was handicapped and unable to practice, and as such she was granted time to rest. The general belief is that because Hwayoung chose to go to a beauty salon, this generated ill feelings between the members – leading to the tweets that started all this.
However, in this case I don’t see any fault in Hwayoung’s actions. Note that she was handicapped and that staying for practice would have been highly illogical when she could finally rest for once. The argument against this is that Hwayoung should have been at home resting and not at a beauty salon, implying that she was lying/faking. However, Hwayoung had a hurt ankle. She didn’t have both her kneecaps shattered or something; she was not immobile, and resting does not have to be lying in bed 24 hours a day. Hwayoung can do whatever she wants in her time off.
Another argument I hear is that doing so was “bad timing” and that Hwayoung didn’t show “team spirit.” Again, this is fairly illogical – what could Hwayoung have even contributed to at the practice? Not to mention it’s hard to rest in a dance studio, as that was what she was supposed to be doing. When a highly overworked idol is given time to herself, she rests. The only bad timing in this is that we happened to find out now.
Tweets: Aha, the tweets, one of the things that most aggravates people for some inexplicable reason. The reason these tweets upset people are because they are considered, and I quote “immature, hateful, arrogant, etc. etc.”
Of course, a lot of us forget that the whole tweeting fiasco was actually started by Hyomin with the determination thing. I firmly believe that any problems between the members, if dealt with maturely, should not have been solved (or vented) on Twitter, but once someone starts…you can’t exactly just blame someone who follows. If Hwayoung’s tweet was immature, then so was everybody else’s, no?
As for Hwayoung’s other tweet on the 28th (“The support of my family and my fans is worth so much to me.”), the same logic applies. Furthermore, most of us say that idols have the right to tweet about their feelings too, so I don’t see why this only doesn’t apply to Hwayoung. Now would probably be a good time for me to say I do believe Hwayoung was unhappy – and no, this does not mean I think T-ara are evil (do not be black and white about this, I can support both sides). The T-ara members might not even have realized they were ignoring Hwayoung in ways that hurt her, but nevertheless, she was unhappy – hence that tweet.
The tweet on the 31st (“…facts without any truth”) was NOT immature, in any way. I am still incredulous over the fact that some people actually believe the crap KKS spewed, especially as most of the people who choose to believe him this instance are the same people who hate on him the loudest. KKS is a horribly incompetent liar, and seeing as he was flat-out slandering Hwayoung in his statements, Hwayoung had every right to fight back.
Acting the Victim: I admit I don’t entirely understand this one, and I am definitely slipping into sarcasm here, but – sure, Hwayoung is acting the victim by throwing herself out of T-ara and quite possibly getting blacklisted in the entertainment industry. Read that to yourself and say you agree. Can’t do it, right? It’s just like saying that Eunjung’s acting the victim by throwing herself out of Five Fingers. It doesn’t make any sense.
Again, Hwayoung is a victim, and T-ara is as well. There is no acting involved.
Not Speaking Up: A lot of people argue that Hwayoung, if she really loved the T-ara members, should speak up and dispel all the rumors so everything clears up. I see this type of thing a lot: “Why doesn’t Hwayoung say something so people will like T-ara again?” or “The bullying isn’t true, so if Hwayoung would just say that then everything would be okay.”
The most obvious reason Hwayoung hasn’t said she wasn’t bullied is – she was bullied, or was unhappy about bad communication within the group (more likely). Now, before anyone flies into a rage, I’d like to say this is all about perception. Hwayoung didn’t feel happy, ergo she doesn’t say anything. This is a very understandable reaction.
Also, we can’t be sure Hwayoung even has the ability to speak up. Seeing as Hyoyoung is still in CCM, and combined with the fact that the company is a lot more powerful than Hwayoung, she may not be allowed to speak on the issue. Just because she hasn’t come out to clarify the issue (just like how the T-ara members didn’t until just recently) doesn’t mean Hwayoung’s some evil monster who enjoys seeing the group suffer.
And again, I understand that some people are upset that Hwayoung’s fortunes seem to be better than T-ara’s, especially with her selcas and such – but, would you really rather see Hwayoung act all depressed?
With that being said, I hope people can continue to support both T-ara and Hwayoung.
However, supporting T-ara doesn’t mean flaming the haters.
I wholly advocate stepping up and calmly and logically defending T-ara; but there is one thing I’ve seen that should not happen – fans banding together, intentionally seeking out the “haters,” and then attacking in a group. This is practically the definition of cyberbullying, and seeing as that is precisely what fans accuse the haters of doing…why sink to their level?
There’s nothing wrong with defending T-ara, but the way it’s happening isn’t going to change any minds. I’m not going to name any names, but a large majority of the “defense” is comprised of vulgar insults and immature bashing, like calling them retards or b*tches. This. Isn’t. Helping. If anything, it makes us fans, and T-ara by extension, look even worse. What’s happening here is that people are using “defending T-ara” as an excuse to vent.
I realize that fans are angry about these antis, but that isn’t an excuse. If I’m supposed to just let it go because fans are doing this out of anger, then that would mean condoning haters as well, and I try not to be a hypocrite.
Please stay calm. And I apologize for this super-long post; I realize I’m being very verbose.

She could say this earlier, maybe Eunjung wont lose her role than. Anyway, though I think its a bit late, better than say nothing at all. I hope 6-ara will speak up too. I miss them a lot. Its frustrating when there's no news at all from Boram & Qri.

I think it is not that the company don't want to give explanations. Looking at the way he announced Hwayoung's departure abruptly, giving vague statements, trying to smoke his way through by saying T-ara's Twitter accounts got mass hacked (which is not true) and making a police report (when the police station confirmed he didn'T)..all that he'd done only seems to make the situation worsen. And even if the truth is revealed, people only choose to believe whatever truth that is already deeply embedded in their head. Honestly speaking, what is the right way to solve all these? Standing out to clarify also wrong, hide and drag also wrong. It's a dilemma. It seems like every move taken will get scrutinized. People are just not willing to accept anything yet... even though I very much feel that the 7 girls should just clarify everything themselves and sort things out all at one go in public, but saying this isn't as easy as doing it. i believe that is the best way to put an end to all these, but who is willing to do this. too many red tapes around. they probably feel that there are mines hidden every where on the ground and they are stucked. no idea where to move =.="

[12.08.24] Haeundae Lover's writer, "T-ara's situation, regretful towards their agency"





Haeundae Lovers's Writer opened up about Haeundae Lover's Soyeon on the morning of the 24th, expressing her thoughts about the T-ara situation:
She said, "speaking about Soyeon is a very sensitive matter" "I've not seen Soyeon before. It seems like it was T-ara's agency which allowed things to become like this"
She continued, "The company should, in line with what the public and citizens want, give an explanation about the issue" "Eunjung left her drama recently, and the requests for the other members to leave are also continuing endlesslessly, it is like they are digging their own graves. I feel very regretful about their company"
About the requests for Soyeon to leave Haeundae Lovers, "Soyeon is not a main character but a supporting character" "Filming already began before the T-ara issue, if she were to leave, we would have to re-film which is not easy" "Soyeon began filming before the T-ara issue" "At that time we did not expect there to be such a conflict"
"The Tablo incident also happened before, and I felt very saddened about it" "Same about Soyeon. Even after the debate, there is no way to accurately know the reasons, we can't just let her leave the drama. I thought the agency would come up with sensible measures, but to let the incident grow large like this, it is not possible to not have any thoughts of complaints."
"Disregarding the truth or falsity of the T-ara debate, I hope that they can take this opportunity and become even more united. Personally, I also have worries as to whether T-ara will disband because of this" "When I do sports, I also gain energy from listening to T-ara's songs"
She cautiously said, "Soyeon was in a traffic accident not long ago, and I know there appeared rumours claiming that the accident was fake, the situation is really serious" "For me, I want to protect those who appear in my work, the cast and crew who have worked hard"

who cares. seriously. this is bogus. hwayoung gets removed from the group and it gets over shadowed by eunjung being removed from a tv show?
i dont wannahear about rights and justice until hwayoung has hers.

and all this time, what all those bs about supporting eunjung? backstabber...

this is probably has less thing to do with SBS. SBS only have the rights of airing this drama not producing this and made decision about the actors/actress. the contract is also between the drama production team and eunjung, not SBS and eunjung. it's the drama production team (Yein Entertainment) decision to remove eunjung. the fact that SBS picked this drama despite having joo ji hoon in it, is actually a prove that SBS aren't that harsh in their "banning" policy.
i'm happy to see someone else, not CCM, speak up for her. where is KKS in all this? srsly. eunjung fighting! T_T

I really feel sorry for Eunjung. All her fans are outraged and devastated too. Eunjung must be feeling more than devastated. Everything she worked hard for went down the drain. She worked on her hair too, she practiced piano, she practiced her lines, and now she must be feeling like she's in hell. What's worse, she might be even blaming herself for this even if she has no fault. I am glad that she has a very supportive family. I have faith that she can get through this.
She's hurting more than ever now. This is the biggest blow so far for her. She entered the entertainment industry to follow her acting dreams and now it seems like the industry turned its back on her. She looked so lifeless and empty when she attended the 5F press conference yet she maintained her professionalism and controlled her emotions to be less of a burden to the 5F team. I thought that her source of strength at that time is the very idea that despite everything she lost due to the T-ara controversy, she still has her acting career at least, and she must have been holding on to it so tightly. But what happened yesterday is the very moment she probably feared: to lose that drama... the drama she chose among other offers, the drama close to her heart because of her mother (piano, acting, reaching dreams)... the drama she cared so much for, that she allegedly gave up other things like WGM just so she can focus on it... And then suddenly she gets betrayed in the vilest and most inconsiderate, unprofessional, unethical way. It's like she was stabbed in the back, not just through any blow but through the moist poisonous and the most lethal weapon that it hurts so bad... not just any hurt.... it probably hurts like she was stabbed a gazillion times, and then put through fire, then thrown in the darkest pit.
Since the T-ara controversy made her lose a lot of things, it seemed that 5F was her supposed lifeline... It gave her hope to carry on. I read somewhere that before, they had to really push and insist to KKS to get them dramas. After the controversy, and after 5F, her future is uncertain because drama offers have probably stopped. And so Eunjung has to hold on to it tight. Now that even 5F is gone... one can only imagine the feeling, like you want to get angry at everything... Oh I can only wish that Eunjung remains strong. I hope she remains calm. I hope she can still think positive. She still has a lot of supporters.
I hope she learned enough from playing Yoon Baek Hee in Dream High... It's not the end of her story... she'll learn from these and she'll come back stronger. I wish someone gives her that K-pendant to remind her to keep on fighting for her dreams.
As for Five Fingers production team, I am still disappointed in them, I really hope they regret what they did. And I really hope they're not like enjoying themselves right now because they got rid of Eunjung. As for those sponsors who pressured them to ditch Eunjung, I hope they realize that they made a wrong decision and I am hopeful that... they don't just realize it... I am hopeful that they will see and feel the backlash from Eunjung's fans. Eunjung's fans are mature, but when it comes to violation of Eunjung's rights... ah... you've got to realize that it's a wrong move to listen to anti-fans and ignore the fans. Fans, when angered, are scary too you know.
As for Jin Se Yeon, READERS, FORGIVE ME FOR MY HONESTY IN THESE SUCCEEDING WORDS SKIP IT IF YOU WANT... as much as she seems innocent in this, I really can't take out anymore the idea in my head that she was some kind of an opportunist, that she was too eager to snatch Eunjung's role the moment the production team gets rid of her. She's supposedly Eunjung's friend and Eunjung even supported Gaksital probably because of her... and she probably knows that Eunjung owns the role... I don't know... Somehow I think her role in the movie White who wanted to be get the lead/center role of the girl group, sort of mirrors this situation, like they're competing for the lead role of this drama. Sorry I can't help it... Se Yeon's role in the movie White... she got chosen for the lead role at some point... but she died because of it. Paid for the greed. Ugh. I guess it's good that Eunjung is safe 'coz she's not the lead. THERE I SAID IT. SORRY. I mean no harm. Sorry for thinking those evil words... I guess I am looking for some defense mechanism but I ended up thinking these. I just want to let it out, so I can move on. Forgive me.
As regards the Sexy Love comeback single... I am no longer sure if they will push through with Aug. 29 release. I have a hunch it's not pushing through again because Eunjung suffered such a painful blow just 7 days before the release. Somehow I really want them all to go on a hiatus for some months just so they can rest, reflect, recharge and regain some confidence. I know I have posted a lot of things ever since the controversy started that I was excited for the release of Sexy Love more than ever. I am sorry. I guess I was too selfish, I was only thinking of my own entertainment. I guess the girls really need some time off. Yesterday's events made me realize how much tortured they are already by the public and the industry who turned their backs on them. They have their limits too as humans and it's probably not wise to risk whatever cards they have remaining in their hands. Or perhaps they can release it not in Korea. Perhaps in other countries, where they still have so much supporters who are willing to accept them again after the controversy. Seriously CCM, how about learning from your mistakes this time and know how to properly manage the group? Oh well... Whatever they decide, I hope it's for the welfare of everyone, especially of the T-ara members. I am still hoping that they can survive this by staying strong. Let's not lose hope for them.
Whatever I said in this post, I want to clarify it in a few words... I wish the best for everyone, I mean no harm... but those who wronged people should definitely pay.
Eunjung Fighting! T-ara Fighting!

"To restore Eunjung's reputation, we will advocate her rights!"





Regarding Tara Eunjung's receiving of an unilateral notice of termination from the drama production company, the Korean Entertainment Management Association (KEMA) has expressed its position.
The KEMA on the 23rd published to the media an article titled "Opinion on the Unreasonable Unilateral Breach of TV Drama Contract"
According to this article, for the success of Five Fingers, Eunjung had given up her other schedules, including overseas activities, showing her sincerity to fully participate in the drama production, but the production team of "Five Fingers" on the 21st, requested with no legitimate reason, that Eunjung leave the drama on her own accord, mentioning that if she did not comply with the request, they would put pressure on Eunjung and her agency.
Eunjung's side did not understand this, and requested for a reason for withdrawal, but the production team only referred to the modification clause of the contract stating that the situation was not in the best interests of the drama production.
The KEMA stated "If it is necessary to change the cast during drama production, it should be be discussed with the actor under the premise of mutual understanding and negotiation, but the production team and SBS on the 22nd did not relate any information to Eunjung about her withdrawal, but announced her termination through the media"
It also stated "Through various evidence and proof, this association has verified and is shocked by this oppressive act of the production team."
The KEMA said "This association works to improve the practices of drama production and to develop a healthy industry by eradicating old practices. Therefore, from a few years ago, starting with the problems of unpaid acting fees, this association has worked to improve such unreasonable contracts and practices." "Such efforts can been seen in the 'Drama Production Standard Acting Contract' project developed along with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
KEMA's article concluded by stating "We will advocate for Ham Eunjung's rights to restore her reputation as she has been unreasonably harmed as described above. To ensure that all relevant parties in this incident will not be harmed, we anticipate a reasonable solution from the drama production team."

If they're debating, why the hell do they even need to announce this??!!!
What, to promote that sitcom that no one even know it exist before Jiyeon and Eunjung cameo in it??
The way they're using T-ara members make me sick.
