hmmm.... The only thing I can say to the people demanding an apology is Grow up. That is just ridiculous...

If they didn't like it, why didn't they switch off their damn tvs or change the channel instead of watching T-ara throughout the whole show? If you hate something, just stay away from it. I know it's a tv show but they had a choice. i change the channel whenever I see someone that I despise on tv. It seems like the netizens hate T-ara A LOT but yet they seem to be more interested in T-ara compared to their fans. I hope MBC doesn't succumb to the pressure by these ignorant netizens and apologize.

Why Kqueen's are so stupid ? why they dont believe in their idols ? if you dont want T-ara give them to International queen's XD

"We're sorry we didn't edit a few guests in our show so that the show wouldn't have gaps in the middle" I mean come on really? What are they going to do with the apology? What's been aired has been aired.

Netizens with their "evidence" & WHY the team crew should to apology if those rumors only a RUMORS.. "340,000" netizens only know how to bash people in internet. but when T-.jinyo ask them to do a protest. Where're all of those netizens? =_=

what the xxxx they ask apology? who are they? god?prime minister?president? did one of their family die when watch this show? they are the one who supposed to apology to t-ara....i just don't get it why in this world still have stupid people plus in my country..such ashamed when i read at youtube comment some said like this 'to those stupid korean netizens i really hate you,sorry korean netizens after what happen to t-ara i realize some of korean people is the evil,scariest people in this world'

[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. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120805n15192 Translated via Chinese translations by: @kckclalala

LOL haters i strongly demand all haters and idiot netizens to apologize to T-ara with a bowed 90 degrees i am sorry but by all this things, i can't respect korean people especially netizens and their stupid medias, fans, etc anymore (except T-ara of course)

For me, I would say that Hwayoung wasn't close to other members, but bullying would be too strong a word for that. I wouldn't deny that there was a rift going on in the incident and most members have a different opinions than Hwayoung, but that's it. The members decision to bring the differences online was a big mistake, but does that make them a bully ? I'm sure that if we had left them alone the situation would have been sorted out like most girlfights. And not ended up by Hwayoung leaving and T-ara taking all the hate. I've never idolize T-ara. They're a group of girls who has different strengths and weaknesses, but putting them together on stage makes them one of the best GG entertainers in K-pop. I just don't want to see them getting all the hate they don't deserve from the people who don't really know them.

MBC should make an announcement after the show, the content is simply saying thanks to them who watch the show and really taking care of MBC's image towards the public and close it up with a bold statement of apology that they could edit T-ara out but they DID NOT. Why ? Because MBC put respect on what happen to their guest, ignoring the fact that this random complain would happen and support the victims of unhumane hipocrisy. well done MBC.

apparently TV's in Korea have one channel and you can't change it when something you don't like comes on

a sad reality.... people are so subjective They want to believe what they want to believe only... T.T Whatever, at least there are still many Queen's out there ready to support T-ara. like me... Hope t-ara still realize that there are tons of fans still here believing on them and that they just need to be stronger than before Fighting~ ^^

Don't the netizens know that what they're doing is also bullying? CYBER BULLYING YES. How cruel media can be. SMH. T-ara hwaiting! Don't worry karma will slap those people who's dragging you down! And I'll back up that karma if it needs some help \o/

[12.08.05] Video HD - T-ara Cut @ Quiz Show Change The World http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VM8YiAJEw *** cr : baabshap@yt Be strong. Note that this was already recorded before the whole fiasco happened..

I don't care if the video pre-recorded or ABCDE...Z, the important thing is I can watch them in the shows.

if you don't want to see them then don't watch the show..why demand for an apology. Lucky for you antis you have channel that shows t-ara..unfortunate for me because even though i want to see them on my tv screen, i can't because korean channels here is so expensive..psshhh.. t-ara fan here forever!

While the bashing for pre-recording is quite unwarranted for, I think people here are getting a bit too comfortable with the possibility Hwayoung WASN'T bullied for sure and are defending them a bit too blindly. People, sh!t happens behind the scenes and while the 'evidence' that netizens and antis had gained has been debunked/countered for the most part, we can't really/actually fully deny the possibility some type of bullying may have occurred. I could easily say the evidence gained by fans that absolutely no form of bullying occurring is just as flimsy and circumstantial as much like what the netizens and antis had used - they're from variety shows - stuff in FRONT of the CAMERA. And idols are expected to act like fakes in front of the camera. This isn't the land of unicorns, fairies and the like. Kpop is a bloody cutthroat industry here and looking at CCM's past record, group conflict has been around for sure - SeeYa and 5dolls in particular. What makes T-ara such a special exception to this? Think about it. T-ara ain't saintly angels themselves either and honestly, people are back to treating them to such. That's why fanwars and conflict between fans and antis exist, ungratefully so. For those laughing down on T-Jinyo's efforts at current, stay off the high horse. While their recent activities/actions are laughable, keep in mind that the organization's only been around for a week or so. There's still a lot of uncertainty on what kind of stuff they can pull off. After all, Tajinyo's antics all lasted over a period of several MONTHs. Stay steady and observant, people. T-Jinyo is far from over.

This is getting silly. No apology necessary! So many of these people are going on and on about how T-ara are bullies, bullies are evil, etc. Yet places like T-jinyo with 340,000+ members, rather than using their newfound popularity and influence in a positive way like trying to educate people on the perils of bullying and being bullied, they choose to spend their time digging up flimsy evidence to "prove" that Hwayoung was being bullied (a majority of which is complete nonsense, by the way), spamming message boards to have T-ara removed from programs, starting ridiculous petitions, etc. I think that's rather telling of their true motives. I too believe there may have been bullying going on, but I'm sure that it happened when the cameras were off and I don't think it's the real reason why Hwayoung was removed from the group. These people want the truth behind the whole situation, but the only truth they'll ever accept is their own twisted version of the "truth" which they believe they already know. What else do they want? There are just as many lies and twisted facts in their arguments as there are in those from CCM. I'm sure they started off with good intentions, unlike Tajinyo, but at this point they're turning into the same thing...

I would consider this a positive step for KKS in becoming a better CEO. I think what a lot of people fail to realize is that this is not only a learning experience for T-ara, but for KKS as well. Hopefully he will learn that slave driving like the way he does will cause T-ara to be more stressed. Which will in turn lead to internal conflicts. Also, "I consider all the T-Jinyo and Sajeongyeon members to be people who love T-ara" ... What? I'm pretty sure a lot of the people in T-Jinyo are antis looking to cause trouble.

this time T-ara really owe international fans especially 'hyotheleader tumbLr'....bcoz of her effort to make 'Rumor vs Fact'.... and then korean fans creat blog 'thetaratruth tumblr'...and her source from 'hyotheleder tumblr'......

hyomin and eunjung was so nice

I'm actually pitying KKS in a way. No matter what he does he'll get hated on. Fans don't know exactly how T-ara feels about him either, maybe they really do thank him a lot.

don't worry, i don't hate them, i only not respect them anymore. i came from a country that have many problems, corruption, lies everywhere, never appreciate their own cultures, etc. that's why i adore a country like korea (well, actually east asia) who always appreciate their own history and cultures. but how korean react about these scandal just make me so dissapointed. recently there's a bullying issue in my country (even that issue was aired on TV), but they never do something like Knetizens did. the difference in the bullying issue in my country, they really have a proof (they have the video), but people reaction never like how Knetizens and Kmedias who even make a fake information and screencaps and almost all korean hate T-ara just based on rumors. lol how can i hate you min young? you are T-ara fans and still stand for them. i can't hate T-ara real fans

To be honest, as much as I like to see T-ara again, I think MBC should edit them out. As for WGM, maybe they should delay it or something.. Because this issue is still hot, this outcome is expected. If T-ara kept a low profile, the public will forget them quicker but if they appear on broadcast often, it seems unlikely that the public will easily forget them.. This is why celebrities go on a long hiatus after involved in a scandal....

It's so funny last night. They were bashing Jiyeon and I showed them the fact that the show was prerecorded before the controversy. They were all pretty quiet after that. Why should they apolgize about something they didn't do ? The only people that needs to apologize right now are the netizens and reporters. They nearly destroyed T-ara with their witch hunt. Nearly all of them just used false articles to bash T-ara and we can prove nearly all of it false now. And yet they don't believe in our explanations, what a bunch of ignorants.

What now? what a bummer, why don't they turn off their TV if they don't like it *sign*, what can they get if the crews apologize to them when It pre-recorded and already aired. K-fans & neitizens really hate T-ara now. I so tired with all their so-called evidences, comments, protesting, etc. Why they keep go on and on with this, pick on every single lil thing everyday haiz...

read those comments just make me laugh How can they stiLL believe that T-ara bullied Hwayoung.....i think media & 'anti' whos bullied T-ara..... poor them....

I wonder if they will apologize if their BULLY accusations will be marked FALSE

The public will believe the media if and when they want to believe. For there are already a lot of other articles circulating around that defends them and with many more facts with some sort of base then the suppositions or lies we are seeing. But I agree that the media is generally trying to bash them. Witch actually makes sense because people pay much more attention and are much more interested in those kinds of story then in story were t-ara helps puppys. Sad but true, and it could have been any other group with the same reaction, t-ara was just unlucky. So yeah, most of the public don't care about the truth, they just want some scandal to talk/complain about.

The media tortures the thoughts of people during the day, and poisons their dreams during the night. T-ara has already fell victim to gutter journalism. It's going to be hard to convince the public with the truth, especially the blood-hungry Koreans.

man, this is getting more and more ridiculous... -.- looks like this t-jinyo's goal isn't something like "we demand truth", their objective is more like "we're going to crush t-ara no matter what" smh.

[08.05.12] Video - Soyeon's Drama "Haeundae Lovers" Released First Teaser Soyeon's upcoming drama "Haeundae Lovers" has released the first teaser. You can see the teaser embedded below. *** cr: youtube uploader

honestly I really dont know what to say to these people who are "Demanding an apology" after T-ara appears on a variety show!! they are absolutely insane!!grow up!!!..whats wrong in appearing in a show..

I feel like she wil return to t-ara one day. I think that she really did have a good bond with the rest of the girls towards the end and they will gladly accept each other when it's all calmed down.

those that ask for apology are the antis, they are just making use of the situation and blame everything on T-ara. True T-ara fans would not behave this way towards their idols.

hmm i don't know what to say ... only can swear the anti to be gone forever . why don't they think that when they are in t-ara situation right now ? can u overcome this situation ?? st****** anti ! that's all i can say . t-ara never leave my heart .

Why should they apologize? Geez -____- NETIZENS, GO GET A LIFE PLEASE! Btw, T-ara's new song "Sexy Love" sounds awesome XD Those butthurted antifans don't you even dare to be their fans if the song turns out to be really good ^^

So what about "we got married"? Eunjung is part of the cast and her episodes are aired now. People complain against wgm too?

excuse me for the word I'm going to use... to those people who commented on that show demanding for an apology, are you STUPID? cuz this recorded before the issues... and I don't know what you guys don't understand but its perfectly clear that they would still smile and be happy since it was before the incidents... gosh, audience you guys are really full of yourselves...

i am half korean/malaysian...and i just join international fansite like this (diadem) coz i don't know much about korean language... i'm in Malaysia right know...my friend just said that t-ara situation is really bad but not much if compare when first day this stupid issue happen..i will ask my friend and after i receive it i will inform here okay

what about me??guys please don't hate me....because i'm kqueen's too

I heard that this was recorded even before the incident. But I don't really care if T-ara pops up like this. Heehee~

someone wrote this on tumblr Everyone wants the truth, but when they do tell the truth, no one believes them. Why? Because it’s not the truth that they want to hear. You all just want the truth that would benefit your side the most. You want your truth because you don’t want to be wrong for bashing T-ara as much as you did. No truth will ever be enough for you at all. When people show this truth, no one wants to believe that they were wrong and they’ll come up with excuses to prove otherwise. You can’t just blindly pick a side without knowing both side of the story. You all believed Hwayoung’s side, but when someone posts T-ara’s side, no one wants to believe it. Why? You were shown the whole truth, not just small part of a clip edited and posted as bullying. We just have to live with the fact that no truth will ever be enough for some people. No matter what you do, how you show it, how sorry you are, no one will care because it’s not what they want to see or hear. T-ara was successful before Hwayoung and I’m sure that they can become successful again with the support of their fans. Hwayoung learned to be an idol and a good rapper and I’m sure that she will be successful in the future as well. I hope that netizens will stop pushing this matter more. I think T-ara,Hwayoung, their families and friends have already suffered enough because of this. If you really want to make a difference in life and prevent bullying, then go to schools, talk to kids, make organizations,ect. Just sitting behind a computer and making/joining T-Jinyo won’t do you any actual good in the cause that you want to help. They can turn T-Jinyo into an organization that helps prevent bullying in schools,workplace,ect. Make a protest for something actually meaningful.

Please please ! I hope AKP will be one of them. Because ya know, akp is the first source of international kpop news. well,,, .. =.="

Exactly. +10000000000000000000000

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

Doesn't apologizing after you mess something up make sense? It does to me...

Yay Queen's and KKS on the same side for once XD

found on tumclr(its quite long) Hwayoung is bullied? ashortmomentinlife: As a pro T-ara Queen’s I wouldn’t force people that tries to defame T-ara to read this post. If you are anti-T-ara and you are unwilling to accept what we pro-T-ara thinks in this matter, you are advised to leave this post immediately. Since the controversy started, we Queen’s have been going through so much pain in defending what we had always believe in. When the sudden influx of antis just flooded in, we remain calm and choose to believe in T-ara. We waited for the official announcement to prove them wrong, but antis seems unconvinced. Angered, they began to search for evidence that Hwayoung is indeed bullied to strengthen their foundation. They said that the agency is lying and all sorts of things refusing to accept the official statement. Even when Hwayoung herself convey the message for them to stop all these, they would give excuses such as Hwayoung being forced to tweet. When an article about Hwayoung apologising to Kim KwangSoo after this whole incident, they choose to ignore that has ever happened and AGAIN return to prove that Hwayoung is bullied. They refuse to give the scandal a rest, in the name of pro-Hwayoung fans. I’m sad to say but they have failed to notice the real importance here. Hwayoung had always been a very obedient girl. As the second maknae in the group, it is only normal in this society where age matters significantly, that Hwayoung listened well to her unnies. Taking advantage of these, more evidences had been gathered and finally, even the Queen’s that has hold on so far began to waver, and T-ara is losing their fans day by day. It’s really unfortunate, but I’ll just say this one more time: What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. We, the Queen’s, swear to stand by T-ara side, through their ups and downs. We will, in the name of T-ara, defend T-ara through any controversies. When T-ara commit mistakes, we accept their mistakes and lead them to the right path. When T-ara achieve milestones, we celebrate as one unit, and embrace the sense of togetherness. In this difficult times, we will not falter, we will not be misled, we will stay strong, and come back as a stronger individuals. Evidence time: I’ve been browsing through the web these few days and THANKFULLY, som
