The nostalgia. I remember Hwang Jungeum back during her Sugar days, and it's really great to hear that she still supports T-ara after all this time, since, I think it was late 2009, she did a collaboration with Hyomin and Eunjung with this song, . . .




And I agree with her that T-ara suffered tremendously recently, and it's great that T-ara is promoting again. I get the feeling she hopes Hwayoung and Areum returns to T-ara with the rest of us. I heard T-ara topped several charts already, so they are doing well.
T-ara Fighting!

They are promotional recording that are distributed to music station and music journalists to help promote the song. In this case a digital single. They are produced in small quantity sometimes considered valuable collector's item and are never intended for sale in record stores. How much I paid? It was very expensive, lets just say it cost way more than the 3 version of treasure box combined. I also recently acquired other digital single promo cd like "t-ara - beautiful girl" and "soyeon's - a song for you"

[12.08.05] True or not, the public will only believe what they want about T-ara's bullying situation





"Tara-'s Hwayoung Was Not Bullied!" Written by Kim Yong Hyo, a reporter who has written many editorials on hot issues within the entertainment industry for the column [연예세상 비틀어보기]
T-ara’s Hwayoung never once mentioned the word “bullying.” And in reality she was not bullied. Netizens are merely creating evidence of bullying. (Those who seek the truth about such ‘bullying evidence’ please see the post http://thetaratruth.tumblr.com). Nevertheless, the public now believes “Hwayoung was bullied” as the truth. Why is this? Probably because from the very beginning, many believed in the rumour that there is bullying among girl groups in the entertainment industry. But some activists used what is claimed as ‘evidence’ to cleverly fabricate stories and to stir up the innocent and trusting public.
The first time I heard about the news of Hwayoung being bullied, I asked “So you’re saying that T-ara’s Hwayoung was bullied”? Because this it not the truth. Recently, I went with T-ara to their Tokyo Concert to gather information, and Hwayoung and the other members got along very well. Used in relation to her, the word ‘bullied’ is inappropriate. Born with a beautiful appearance to a relatively well-off family, she grew up lacking nothing. And also with her father’s vigorous support for his daughter to become an artist. (Personally finding his way to a large agency company for his twin daughters to become artists, and interfering with CCM with all his might, a father like this, if his daughter really was bullied, would he really stand by and do nothing?)
Of course, because young girls are grouped together in girl groups, issues of envy and jealousy will come up sometimes. (This is true not only with T-ara, but also other girl groups). But to part of the public who are on a witch-hunt against T-ara, these issues were not small conflicts, but collective violence. I can guarantee, such incidents did not, and could not possibly exist. But the public believes that T-ara members are bullies, without a doubt. Therefore, some of the members’ past and private life etc have also been dragged out into the public for discussion. Even more cunningly, netizens have packaged and claimed their actions on the internet as done to protect the victim Hwayoung from the other members’ violence and bullying.
T-ara is now fully wounded. But the cruel public continues to use their hatefully crafted products (i.e the ‘evidence’) to mock them. They truly see their own actions as legitimate and just. T-ara’s Hwayoung was not bullied. Even if there was conflict with Hwayoung, the level of intensity and strength compared to the bashing now done to Tara is not even one in a million.
The public only believes what it wants to believe. The more frightening part is that they will never admit or accept any rebuttals to the contrary. Their reaction to this article will probably be, “Oh, he must have received money from Kim Kwangsoo.” But this is not a rebuttal. It is the truth that those who hate T-ara never want to believe.

Atleast she defends T-ara, not like other groups that are trying to avoid them so that they won't get associated with T-ara's controversy. This just shows that there is still hope for fellow Idols and artists

Atleast he believes in T-ara, not like those haters... the haters should learn from the grown ups

...
I really don't know what exactly to say
I have mix feelings right now...
I'm glad hwayoung is looking for another agency but...
T-ara is not the same without her... u know what I mean, right?
*sigh* I wish these things never happened to T-ara, they were at the top of their game I was finally happy that other people were recognizing them but then this happened
I hope that Hwayoung can come back to the group Please KKS...
