[12.08.16] T-ara's Eunjung bows her head and refuses to answer questions about the "T-ara situation" T-ara's Eunjung bowed her head and denied to answer questions related to the "T-ara situation." On the 16th, SBS weekend drama "Five Fingers" held their press conference. Eunjung stated, "I thought that it would be good to face today like any other day." An official for "Five Fingers" said to reporters before the interviews, "Eunjung will not answer any questions related to the 'T-ara situation.'" They asked for questions only relevant to the drama "Five Fingers". A reporter said, "During the difficult situation, there is a lot of thoughts going on. How do you currently feel?" and asked Eunjung indirectly about the issue. Eunjung said, "I'm unconditionally committed to giving my best to my work. In the given situation, I'll do my best not to cause damage for my seniors. I'll work even harder now." She refused to answer any questions unrelated to the drama and an SBS official said again, "The cast is happy to answer questions, but they cannot answer any personal questions. Please only ask questions related to the drama." They strongly enforced reporters not to ask about the "T-ara situation" and she refused to give concrete answers, which the reporters wanted. Eunjung later answered other questions and said that between the other T-ara members, they monitor each other. "A lot of the members are in dramas now, and we monitor each other. They're happy that I'm able to be in a big drama production and are anticipating it. The other members give me their constructive criticism and support," she said. "I had to practice piano for the filming and cooking for inside a restaurant. I'm honored to work with these seniors and I'll do my best at this," Eunjung said. She also commented, "This is the first time I have a role where two men love me. Previously, I has a one-sided love or unrequited love where it was not mutual. "Five Fingers" is about pianists and their past misfortunes and their current lives and dreams. *** Source: http://news.nate.com.../20120816n21328 / http://news.nate.com/view/20120816n23918 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

Photos from the press conference: I think this tumblr post quote covers whats going on in my head pretty well: "ohmygod eunjung’s condition at the press conference today looks so much worse than hyomin. almost all the time she seems like she’s physically there but her mind is floating around somewhere in depressland. and her physical state is in wrecks D; " - source

Seeing her trying to hold ounces of tears really break my heart. Seriously, even the "hyung"t of the group also can't hold her emotions. Luckily she didn't cry when the reporter asking her about the controversy and I love the way she was smashed back the reporters politely & genuinely. To Mr/Ms Reporters: THIS IS SBS FIVE FINGERS PRESS CONFERENCE. You should know a drama press conference,all the questions must related to the drama especially to the characters. IF you want to know details about T-ARA controversy, please wait the right time because it's worth to wait something rather than ruining everything with your greediness for your story. OR else, why don't you ask the traitor WHY SHE BEING AXED FROM THE GROUP? You might really want to know and hunger for her explanations. While the others one sadding,one injured,one mental breakdown, one locked up herself in the room,one cut off contact with her family + one idagf-ing, it's seem the traitor so happy enjoying the fame from Psycho Netizens T-Drama. T-ARA, please stay strong. What's things doesn't kill you will make you even stronger than before. FIGHTING!!!

Damn straight. This whole thing is another case of netizen hypocrisy. People were mad at Hyomin that she wouldn't speak up, but declared that everything Soyeon said were lies. Over the years of being a Queen, I've learned not to trust KKS or "representatives." I believe what Soyeon says. What is truth? or more like, what is the point of truth when everything that is "truth" is decided by a blinded majority.

[12.08.16] T-ara's Soyeon unable to return to "Haeundae Lovers" filming yesterday After being in a car accident, T-ara's Soyeon was supposed to return to KBS 2TV "Haeundae Lovers" drama shooting yesterday. Core Contents Media said on the 16th to Star News, "Originally, Soyeon was thinking about returning to the 'Haeundae Lovers' drama shoot yesterday (15th) but because her health is in a state that hasn't completely recovered, it was eventually decided she would not participate in the filming." They continued to say, "Soyeon is still in the hospital and will make a return when her health recovers. When she returns will be decided on how fast she recovers." Soyeon is scheduled to shoot on the 20th~21st in Busan. On the 13th, Soyeon was in a car accident on the way from Seoul to Busan early in the morning and had to postpone her schedules. *** Source: http://star.mt.co.kr/stview.php?no=2012081614552724114&type=3?

Anyway here is the picture of the "Rice Wreaths" Eunjung fans have send to show support of Eunjung in the drama.. Fan-taken picture [CR: http://woojungislove...erence-fanpics/] ^^ i've read Eunjung Japanese Fans send this to the Press Conference to show their support to Eunjung.. I'm glad they did atleast Eunjung knows that her fans & Queens would always stand by her side no matter what..

Jeon Mi Seon Rocks The Way jiyeon-lastforone: Jeon Mi Seon plays the role of eunjung’s mother in “five fingers” and hyomin’s mother in “one thousandth man”. She said to the press that she’s not even interested in the whole “t-ara incident” thing and was very happy about meeting two lovely young girls.

Like seriously... It's not like they did something that would be categorize as treason to their nation or sold out their gov't top secret information or killed their nation's president. I know the bullying issue is a sore and very important topic, but geez louise! GET A GRIP PEOPLE! And it doesn't seem like the public and netizens both from Korean and aboard are going to be letting this down anytime soon either. I'm glad someone in the entertainment world thinks and is speaking out about the craziness this issue has become, especially the treatment T-ara is getting :<

So she is still in the hospital? I thought there are ppl and 'patient' said she leave the hospital unharmed! SoYeon should rest, a flipping car accident is dangerous even with no external injury due to the impact.

Oh my goodness, through watching this thing it was awful seeing her in such a sad condition. I really hoped no one would have asked but... people like to start trouble. This just sucks. I want the best for her.

Hrmm.. I feel sorry for Hyomin, and the rest of T-ara. As soon as they come out to the public then they will probably get harassed by reporters without end. I feel that it's immature on the reporters' end of things seeing as Hyomin is most likely very stressed out right now. The last thing she needs is people reminding her about a painful event. Also, very unprofessional seeing that this is a press conference FOR A DRAMA, not a "Hyomin interview about Hwayoung and recent controversies."

Her mother once told some fans that Eunjung lost weight... When I saw the photos... Oh wow she really lost weight! Her face is definitely thinner than before. I like her outfit and hair and all and she still pretty of course. But really she looks depressed. Her eyes, her expression, even her black-colored dress... It looks like someone died. Like she lost her soul or something. Expressionless. Sometimes staring at the floor. Empty. Obviously she's still hurting. And she's scared of the public [i remember even Soyeon said she can't even eat in public anymore... and I feel so betrayed that Hwayoung can freely attend concerts and still post cheery selcas with her sister so I guess she can enjoy beauty salons all day now and still get support and sympathy of the public] Anyway, back to Eunjung... I admire her strength as she did her best to face the public. I admire her as she tried to smile at times but of course it's clearly difficult for her to do so. I admire her politeness as she tried to answer questions and refused to answer the irrelevant questions. I also admire the cast members who obviously supported her and encouraged her. I guess even Joo Ji Hoon can understand what Eunjung is going through since he was also involved in a scandal before. I am glad that they allowed Eunjung to stay in this promising drama. I am happy that despite the pain that they are going through, T-ara members are trying to stay strong. I am also happy that many fans gave support to Eunjung in this press conferences and that it ended well I think. I really hope this drama will have high ratings. Slowly I shall see them all bouncing back to success, perhaps scarred, but definitely stronger than before. T-ara Fighting! Eunjung Fighting! Five Fingers Fighting!

It must've been difficult for Eun Jung to be in that press conference. But I'm really impressed at how professionally she handled the situation, even though it looks like she's really torn-up inside. But nevertheless, sooner or later the girls will have to speak for themselves to try and clear their names. Until then, reporters will just continue to hound them regarding the "T-Ara Situation". Eun Jung Hwaiting! T-Ara Hwaiting!

Eunjung did great. Very politely and poise she showed great effort in the drama with also respect to the other cast. Obviously she will not answer the questions on T-ara matter. This is the prescon of a drama. It will be a disrespect to the other cast of she gave answer to the questions, which might go with no end. Those reporters think this issue can be solved in one or two answer???? Seriously >"< I'm sad that she looked so tired and weak. She can't even smile like Hyomin two days ago. T__T hope she is strong enough to continue filming in good health condition, her role is very important though.=))) And she mentioned T-ara !!!! That's the greatest thing to know that they are in contact and continuously cheering each other in this whole difficulties. T-ara always stays as one, and forever will !!!!!!!!

What the heck is on at allkpop at the moment? They are speculating that Soyeon accident is fake??? If allkpop cares to the T-ara condition rather than posting "rumours" that taint their public image more...Soyeon is truly really hurt by now...TT___TT

ilove you Eunjung!you did a very good job.. soon we will claim victory! we will nevr leave you..and we will support you the best we can! Fighting! Five Fingers Fighting!

Glad that Soyeon is going to get some rest. I'm sure everyone who cares, which includes me, is happy to hear she's not going to be pushing herself way too hard, and understands her position. I mean to continue filming in her condition would be reckless and asking to have more problems arise.

Soyeon, please get well soon and take good care of yourself! I'm quite convinced that you're trying your best to shut those netizens scumbag up and show and motivate them what real determination is, so that they will stop being parasites of our society. However, health is of utmost importance. Recover soon and you can continue to fight for this noble cause. Edit: P.S. I bet those people who mock at Soyeon's determination don't even have the will to go to school when they have a slight fever.

i'm proud of eunjung....although you can see her spirit is broken but still she managed to show her support and dedication. eunjung be strong my dear

good job eunjung, smash them with your mouth, don't let them to pull you down

*sigh* these reporters man -___- its a press conference for the drama, not an interview on if the Bullying scandals were true...

I consider this to be a rather awful decision at best. T-ara's image is still not exactly great amongst the Korean public even now and all things considered, it doesn't help that groups like T-Jinyo are still around. Who in their right mind would want to have T-ara release a new song merely weeks after going through perhaps one of the biggest idol scandals to ever occur in Kpop? No, the best course of action is that they need to lay low until the public as a whole eases down rather than have such an early comeback. Are they willing to face black oceans, more waves of public scrutiny and even possibly physical attacks from antis?

I´m so excited to see her again, it´s been a long time without her. I was expecting her to be sad, but she looks more sad than i thought i´m so worried, i hope she can recover her happiness and i think is a good think that she has to go filming this drama. I was relieved she has the suport of the rest of the cast, Chae Si Ra knows her from Queen In soo and off course she knows jow is Ham Eunjung, she and the other actress and the two guys but must of all Joo Ji Hoo who knows very well what´s to be on the spot and be the target of hate and critics and had a very difficult time. She has lost for me like 4 kg of weight , her legs and arms(she looks beautifull) but i´m worried it´s because she is sad she has lost that weight . I´m so proud of her and so thankfull to her for not to cry, people were expecting her to cry, but she was strong and didn´t do it, she is so depressed she couldn´t look more happy but i think is obvious if you see how nervous and stressed she was, her hand were always pressing one against the other, her chest had a little allergy pobably due to stress and she was in some moments abcent from the press conference in her mind. But i think she needs more time, i really (i don´t pray but i´m almost about to do it) hope the drama to be very succesfull, and i´m sure her acting will be AMAZING, her emotions right now are in bloom and it will help her acting a lot(little positive point from this horrible situtation). let´s keep suporting her and all T-ara and think on ways to cheer them up. FIGHTING EUNJUNG. she was so beautifull despite beeing so sad, she is a princess.

The left most words sums it all for me.... Thank you for posting the picture. I really support Eunjung & Hyomin's position during the interview.. for me Soyeon has told T-ara's side of the story (not CCM's) in her Chosun Ilbo interview, no more words are needed, its up to each individual to decide for themselves what do they believe or not.. The only way to shut up the antis now is to show that T-ara members are no longer easy targets for their type of cyber-bullying and the way to achieve this is not through words (it will only inflame them more) but through action. I don't think T-ara should release any singles and do live performances yet, but what they can do is do really-really well on their respective dramas and show that they are still high-rating earners. As mob mentality goes, when the antis who actively spread malicious rumors and write despicable comments on message boards figure out that the general public (not niche market K-pop fans) are actually into T-ara dramas, I think there will be a sharp decline in the number of the actual active antis (the guys who take the time to actually make/fabricate things up) as it won't be that easy anymore to harass T-ara. Bullies are cowards who prey on the weak (which is why I never believed that someone with a strong personality as Hwayoung's would ever let herself be bullied for 20 months).. Now is the time to show how strong T-ara really is.

Don't get why the netizens are being so worked up, it's pretty much none of their businesses, all that is happening. Poor Jiyeon. She does seem more aloof on the surface, but people are judging her now just cause of that, posting malicious insults of her, calling her the mastermind behind the bullying. But nobody can even ascertain there was any bullying involved, yet they so willingly believed the rumors. These include the people that go all ''i used to be a fan, but now i think they blah blah blah'' - the worst kind. Why can't netizens go find something better to do rather than make lives difficult for the girls who had done nothing to harm them.

Look at her smile and her eyes. She looked so sad, even sadder than Hyomin on her press conference. I've never seen her like this before. And these are our most cheerful and strong members in T-ara. I don't want to see Boram or Jiyeon's faces. It'll be heartbreaking ...

Good to hear she gonna get some rest. Hey you my stubborn leader, please do not push yourself.Let's recover first then you can do all what you want to do. Get well soon my girl.

Some reporters can't be avoided , they think thats just job and they are 'right' yea.. just selfish. Hope nothing bad will happen to them ~.~ All the best Eunjungggggg

It's good that she doesnot push herself too hard only two days after the accident. Good news she is resting now )) Fighting Soyeon.!!!!! For other T-ara members, they sure cannot be happy when one of T-ara has an accident like that. The reporters should care about the member's health rather than keep rubbing salt to their controversy.

As disheartened as I am that "Haeundae Lovers" is being delayed (only watching it because Soyeon's in it ;D), I'm really glad she's taking some rest!

Soyeon~Unni.. get well soon! We miss seeing you on tv. xD KBS2 ftw. mean Netizens shut up already. let's just wait for the drama to slowly die.. -.- (side note: anyone know when is "seyx love is releasing"? O.o)

Good to hear that she's still resting, but please do get well soon! ><

really strong girl, not even cried once, and didn't forget to mention about T-ara.

Once again, unprofessional and shameful behaviour from the reporters. After making Hyomin cry and harassing Eunjung, they still didn't get any answers. Maybe one day they will learn that causing pain to T-ara is for nothing. I hope for the best for T-ara, especially Soyeon, Hyomin, and Eunjung. And hopefully the girls will be able to find peace to recuperate for their approaching comeback.

Oh my freaking goodness! I did consider journalism as a career, but after seeing how cruel one must be to work as a journalist, I'm having second thoughts now. I know it's their jobs, but I'm still going to say this again: "Leave T-ara alone for Mike's sake!"

watch this guys...i bet u will jealous ha3 hyomin cry but try to comfort her fan + give a hug person who record this get first hug from hyomin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk_WC9zZaI0&feature=player_embedded

watch this guys...i bet u will jealous ha3 hyomin cry but try to comfort her fan + give a hug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk_WC9zZaI0&feature=player_embedded

I'm glad that someone quite close to them spoke up about how the freaking society treated them. Come on like seriously, they are even saying Soyeon's accident was staged! I saw how ugly Kpop was during TVXQ scandal and I saw how my boys suffered. Recently, I became an active Kpop fan again but with my girls T-ARA going through this, I'm seeing this horrible side of Kpop again and I'm starting to lose interest. But I'm not saying all Kpop fans are like that, only some annoying ones. I guess I'm just listen to my boys and girls

lol i think u misunderstanding here....jiyeon mom only said until t-ara member panic....Jiyeon’s Mom interview she said that jiyeon didn”t want to talk, close herself in the room and each members are in panic now and person who said this( somebody(mean hwayoung) went to Infinite concert) is t-ara fan. jiyeon mom didn't say anything about hwayoung...so calm down man..

Despite criticism of some people.. I really applaud Hyomin for not taking the reporter's bait. I bet she is just dying to be able to finally defend herself and scream out her side of the story. However, the interview was not about Hyomin & T-ara, it was about the drama. It won't be fair to the other cast and crew members for her to take all of the spotlight.. If Hyomin even open up a bit and gave a short sound byte acknowledging the question then she would've open up a floodgate of follow-up questions which will derail the whole press conference.. I also would also just like to thank Min Young & the others who once again provided us with more info beyond the press.. you guys rock..

seriously, i don't know what to say... T_T i mean, even rookies who need to promote themselves more didn't release as much as t-ara who is already an established group. a postpone from august 11th to the end of the month? that's not even a hiatus. srsly. kks just wants to milk cash as much as he could during t-ara's active years. T__T yep i do want them to be active, but these much of promotions in barely half years? for me, it felt like sechs kies all over again. and you all know what happen to sechs kies in the end.

Hyomin, be strong! We will surf though this adversity together! I feel like punching that reporter, but he's doing his job after all....

I feel bad for her, she desperately wants to return to work in what ever way she can but the uncertain state of T-ara could leave her feeling like all her options are closing off. She really is fighting right now. and the Haeundae Lovers crew should take this situation into account and rewrite the script to let her come back when she's recovered, Hwayoung, I hope you're not turning your head to this whole situation.

some fans wrote this READ IT PLEASE ! Hwayoung had a manicure while other members were busy with Budokan concert rehearsal. That made other members upset. Mermber asked KKS to solve the conflict caused by HWA, but SY never expected KKS to kick HWA out of the group. SY was surprised. SY says all other members including SY that they are really sorry for the tweets which aroused the controvercy, but was no bullies... hwa was in Beauty Shop while other members were practicing Budokhan concert rehearsal.

Sexy love gonna be HIT. I believe that.. They still got #3 on mubank last week though this issue still lingering in Korea.. They gonna kill the charts again with this new song.. Haters/antis can't stop T-ara to be more successful in the future.. Keep faith guys..

Oh God, why everything had to happen at the same time?! Well, this probably become another evidence, kinda "God take the action" or sth. Obviously, they'll think that So deserve all this.

Hope she's okay T-ara please stay strong.. Queen's will always support you guys no mater what happens.. p/s: Am I the only 1 here want to kill those stupid netizens? T-ara don't deserved all these hating comments.. hurmm
