[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

Forever supporting Eunjung and T-ara!

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/

[12.08.09] T-ara's Hyomin will attend "One Thousandth Man" press conference on the 14th T-ara's Hyomin will make her first appearance since the "bad press" began about T-ara. On the 14th, Hyomin will attend the press conference for the fantasy MBC sitcom "One Thousandth Man". Including Hyomin, Kang Yewon and Lee Cheonhee will also be there to talk about the drama. T-ara stopped all schedules and appearances and this is becoming a hot topic because it's the first time a member will make an appearance since the news broke. T-ara's Soyeon is currently in KBS2's "Haeundae Lovers" while Eunjung is in the upcoming SBS drama "Five Fingers". "One Thousandth Man" is a sitcom where a Gumiho has to find the last liver to eat to equal one thousand and follows her life and family story. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120809n19648 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

I would like to thank the many who held interest and concerns and watched over T-ara and will meet with whoever necessary to clear the air."

Please give a lot of interest and support to Hwayoung's next move in music." He finished with a comment on himself which was, "I'll strive to be more careful and not as reckless in front of the public's eyes. Again, I'd like to apologize for causing a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of social interest over this topic," he finished. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120804n07298 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

i hate how medias (and some celebs) blow up this issue and take advantage from it. many of those work in entertainment industry blame kks instead of t-ara, did akp post that? no. there're many celebrities sympathized with t-ara, did akp post that? no. there's a huge flaw in those proofs they used, did they give the later explanation of that? no. despite these bunch of antis demanding their removal from dramas, soyeon's drama got fairly good rating in its first air (9% is good for a new drama), did akp report that? no. why? because k-netizens (the t-jinyo movement) basically passed those articles, making huge hits on articles degrading t-ara, other newsites basically copy paste what's trending, and akp being the follower without stance they are, merely posted what's trending too. and basically, what some those crappy antis read in akp is what's trending on k-news sites too. sure some t-jinyo are indeed t-ara fans who support hwayoung and demand proper explanation from kks, but most of it? haters, antis, bypassers. it's worthy to note that despite their tremendous sales ('roly poly' hit the jackpot last year, i'd probably get slammed by sones if i say 'the boys' is forgettable by the mass and nothing against 'roly poly' or 'good day') and projects like endorsments or dramas, it's known to t-ara fans themselves that they have weak fanbase. i too want the girls to reach out to their fans instead of haters like t-jinyo (kinda like 2pm before, even if most fans decided to turn against them for a while) and kks clearing up hwayoung's name -- because regardless the truth in his statement, it's unprofesionally done. but stopping these girls activities? ruining their careers? demanding their disbandment? calling them 'bullies' without much knowledge to the issues? get public attention by calling out at them? seriously, get a life.

I don't really care about antis anymore. I want to see them and hope that they're okay.

im glad Eunjung is out in the public cause we QUEEN's missed her so much..

Hey guys if you haven’t already, share this and contribute to the project! Thanks!

Am I the only 1 think that Hyomin will use this press conference to clear up this issue.. We know Hyomin right.. She always trying to protect her members.. just like she did with Jiyeon's ramen issue, Mose's issue & etc.. Btw, Hyomin fighting.. I know you can do it.. Queen's will protect T-ara

I really don't care anymore about the media, the evidences, the antis ...All I want now is to see T-ara Again performing with their smile !! >< Stay Strong T-ARA & Come back !!

Glad to see that the truth is circulating around now. I was about ready to write up an e-mail to allkpop why they haven't yet reported this and that they are clearly bias but I rechecked this article and noticed its only been posted ~30 minutes ago. I'll give it another 3 or so hours more. Nothing beats Diadem, the admins, translators and the fans here are the best, thank you for always getting us the news fast and standing by T-ara, especially when they need it.

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~ ^^

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.

KKS didn't cause this mess, he didn't start the stupid rumors. Only provided vague explanations and people refused to believe ANYTHING that he mentioned. It was started by hater's rumors, spread by fools and believed by idiots after all. And no matter what he says or Hwayoung OR even other people, haters just refuse to believe anything unless it fits into their "t-ara bullied hwayoung" scenario with their out of context evidence. I mean com'on T-ara may have outcasted Hwayoung or Hwayoung may have acted arrogant, no one knows the truth yet people just keep bashing all these people causing them so much sufferings.

Atleast, he apologize to both sides (T-ara & Hwayoung).. He put his ego a side. Credit to him.. I believe T-ara will getting stronger after this issue.. I want they know that their real fans always support them no matter what happens.. Good luck to them.. Hope after this, people will learn to thinks first before make an assumptions.. People who believe those rumors is not a smart person.. nuff to say.

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.

Well the Antis.. are eating up this story again in AllKpop.. I don't know why I even go there anymore.. I'm such a masochist

Poor them... can't they just leave T-ara alone? T-Jinyo such a true bully...

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

if they really want the truth, they should meet KKS.. i can't wait to hear the news tomorrow.. but i read somewhere that the protest is canceled and the leader of t-jinyo is merely only 15 years old..

CCM I can't believe you're actually doing something right about this situation.

I hope AKP is one of them! Always trying to add oil to the fire.

People will be watching this drama ... at least i will be .. DIADEM ... SUB PLEASEEE ... i got a feeling t-ara stuff wont be subbed as often anymore ...

Don't worry girls..You still got Diadem
