[12.10.08] Director Cha Euntaek talks about T-ara & Eunjung in an interview with News 2 Day "The T-ara incident made me detest even more the way Korean society does not tell right from wrong" Reporter: Recently, you've supported Eunjung through twitter and this became a hot topic. You didn't expect that right? What are your thoughts about the T-ara incident? In response to the question that the reporter asked mindfully, Director Cha Euntaek surprisingly gave a calm and sharp response. Because of his message of support to Eunjung, Director Cha was also criticised by some netizens. Director Cha was the director for T-ara's MV's like Lovey Dovey, and so have known Eunjung for a long time. He understands Eunjung more than anybody else and truly feels sad and worried about Eunjung. "Although my message wasn't left simply without thought nor was it left simply just to cheer her on, it still represented my worry and care for her. When she knew that she was casted for "Five Fingers", you wouldn't know how happy she was and how hard she worked in preparation. If I was a member of T-ara, I might have hidden away somewhere because of the pain. T-ara being ostracised by the public, this has made me really detest Korean society. I really detest those who, after someone's mistake, add insult to injury without first determining right from wrong. To be honest, I thought "Should I gamble my career in the entertainment industry and just say it all [and argue]? Just say it all on twitter?" I was really angry at the time." "I've watched them grow since the T-ara members were still trainees. They are kids who have worked hard to become singers, and I was really hurt to see them criticised like that. Eunjung's message on twitter was actually really simple and pure. They cannot go out and play like other teenagers, but have to practise with all their might, running around to complete their activities. They cannot live like other kids of the same age, but are constrained by their work. They are kids who are more simple and pure than others of their age." "At the time, I was really very upset. To see how the public, without understanding the circumstances, became so sure that there must have been bullying between them. I don't understand, there have been incidents in the past that were much worse, idols who have done illegal things, but why only treat T-ara with such harshness?" About how his message of support for Eunjung caused a stir amongst netizens, Director Cha said: "Although we should criticise acts that are wrong, but to see people carelessly criticise and condemn acts that are right simply because of their own subjectivity and bias, I really could not carrying on living pretending that I did not see this in our society." "Eunjung ah, you have to live with strength" "I always talk with Eunjung, and she told me 'Because of Director-nim, I've gained a lot of strength." She cannot clarify everything that has happened, simply for the reason that they are all very close. In reality, their relationship is not what outsiders have portrayed it to be like, and they do not want each other to be criticised or blamed because of themselves. Because of this incident, they really cried a lot. I really can't bear to see them cry like that. I tried to find ways to comfort them, but I couldn't come up with any good ways but to say to them to live with strength. After Eunjung was forced out of "Five Fingers" I had once worried that she would do something stupid."

[12.10.24] T-ara reveal their lunchboxes, Jiyeon "fruit diet" vs. Hyomin "meat diet" Girl group T-ara members Jiyeon and Hyomin have shown their contrasting "fruit diet" and "meat diet" diets. T-ara's agency Core Contents Media released pictures of Jiyeon eating a lunchbox full of fruit, while Hyomin was eating a lunch full of meat. The lunchboxes were gifts that were given to the members by fans. Their agency said, "T-ara eats and diets according to their varying types of bodies. They don't go on extreme diets, but they all choose to diet specific ways. Often times they get tempted to eat from each others lunchboxes." T-ara is preparing for their Asian Tour beginning in early 2013. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20121024n39809 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

A heartful of respect to Director Cha Euntaek!! This human(me) salutes you with respect not as fan of T-ara but as a human who really admire you mature and positive thoughts!! Not all people can gamble their career and DARE to speak like you!! A 90 degree blow from me!! Grand salute to you and Proud to be a Queen's!! Just glad to see that many people(kpop staffs) are supporting My Princess and T-ara!!

"Their agency said, "T-ara eats and diets according to their varying types of bodies. They don't go on extreme diets, but they all choose to diet specific ways. Often times they get tempted to eat from each others lunchboxes." Yea, that's rich. So why did Soyeon recently say in "T-ara: Confession" that the girls were starved by an extreme diet so badly during the BPBP promotions that they even grabbed leftovers after performances and ate them at the toilets to avoid getting caught? Even Hyomin has confessed about being poorly fed on TV before, where Hyuna joked to her that Hyomin should move over to Cube because the latter feeds its idols decently. And if they're chosen to diet specific ways, then why does Boram look like she's been released from a labor camp? CCM, if you're gonna lie, at least make it believable or don't say anything at all.

netizens never know anything about T-ara but kept boasting as if they know more about T-ara than to those who had known T-ara for a long time. cha eun taek really knows T-ara well since they were trainees. I have often seen him support T-ara after that scandal and how he defends eunjung many times after she was kicked out from 5F. he didn't care with netizens/T-haters which maybe hate him as well. i was amazed by his courage and honesty. aahhh.... he should become T-ara CEO instead KKS lol, he treats and understand them so well. poor eunjung, i'm scared with the last lines, i hope she will be fine without doing "stupid things" (you know what i mean) ;____; for 5Fingers --> please down, down, and down

"To see how the public, without understanding the circumstances, became so sure that there must have been bullying between them.

"Although we should criticise acts that are wrong, but to see people carelessly criticise and condemn acts that are right simply because of their own subjectivity and bias, I really could not carrying on living pretending that I did not see this in our society." Aah,I simply love these quotes.I hate it when T-ara's scandal were never confirmed but received hatred from almost all citizens in Korea (another example is Tablo) while some who involved in scandals that are far more serious can easily get away with that (but of course,it's not 100% true). Although more than half of Korean citizens and KPOP fans still haven't forgive T-ara,I'm glad to see that these people (e.g: him and Hyomin's 1000th Man PD) still support T-ara through highs and lows.They know that even though they will get a lot of bashing for backing them up,they're not afraid to do so and I respect them for doing that. We,QUEEN'S,just want to say thank you for still supporting our girls.I'm sure they really appreciate that. "After Eunjung was forced out of I had once worried that she would do something stupid." Whoa,that line scares me....Luckily she didn't.

tsk. that's why i don't give a damn that much to these "Award Giving" events. I'm not sure where they actually base their results. but i still vote just for the sake of voting for T-ara (If I could, I would vote only for T-ara),

A little bit of everything is good looks like the girls are enjoying it~ It'll be funny if the fans feed the girls more than their company does

[12.10.22] After being fired from SBS "Five Fingers", Eunjung preparing for early 2013 drama comeback T-ara's Eunjung is currently in discussion for a role in the SBS drama "Money Incarnation". After controversy being fired from her drama role a few monthd ago, T-ara member Ham Eunjung is preparing for a drama comeback early next year. Eunjung has received an offer from the SBS drama "Money Incarnation" that broadcasts in January to star in it. "Money Incarnation" has the same PD at "Giant" as well as the same writer and a lot of the same crew. Ham Eunjung, Kang Jihwan and Hwang Jungeum are all being considered for the drama which is about the desire for money and love mixed into the legal professions. Eunjung previously worked with Kang Jihwan in the 2010 drama "Coffee House" and T-ara has featured in Hwang Jungeum's music when she was still in Core Contents Media. According to drama officials, after a meeting on the 21st, they discussed Eunjung and her firing from the SBS drama "Five Fingers" and the passion she had for acting. They hope they can make a "hit" cast with Kang Jihwan and Hwang Jungeum as well.

part 1 part 2 part 3 cr @ YT tarakeepout

Eng subs are out:

No pictures of Boram with food? The worry continues ._."" And this is the likely scenario KKS : Oh dear, why did T-ara reveal the part about me starving the sh** out of them? Perhaps it's time to show them with some food. DON'T WORRY QUEEN'S I'M DOING MY JOB PERFECTLY

Meat diet wins!! LOL i much prefer meat over fruits... but fruits is cool too... but then again, bacon.. and this is me ranting c:

Thank you PD-nim for spoke up and support T-ara & Eunjung. Antis will forever be antis & haters, they are forever stupid. They don't know how much they have hurt their own people. Idols are also human, they have feelings, they made mistake,...but they have regretted and apologized. Why treat them like that? T-ara & Eunjung didn't deserve all the hate. Those antis don't have lives and have nothing to do besides attacking T-ara, they are only happy when something bad happen to T-ara >.<. So sad reading this about Eunjung and know how much she have been hurt and 5F add more to her wound. Even PD-nim think she might do something stupid back then . I feel like crying to know this, my poor Eunjung, she deserve better. But happy that there are still many people support her and T-ara. And now they all starting to get better and trying to get back on their feet. So those antis better stop attacking them, leave them alone, go live your own lives antis. T-ara and Queen's don't need people like you guys in our lives!!! T-ara and Eunjung fighting!!!

I, of course, agree with him and applaud him. It's nice that someone still supports Eunjung & T-ARA. I wish more people would say something or at least get over it already. It isn't right to treat people like dirt just because you think they did something wrong -- but I won't get into that. Celebrities have done worse things and didn't receive so much hate as T-ARA have. It saddens me really that they've had to go through so much between constantly promoting, receiving hate and everything else.

Agree with xbot. Lovey Dovey was huge, so I'm baffled it wasn't nominated. Not hating on Hyuna, and I like Ice Cream, but the song has just been released. Did it get overwhelming critical acclaim to be nominated? And yes, the Global Girl Group. I thought T-ara's success in a global scale was far better than f(x)? They received gold status in Japan recently, and they had some sold-out concerts, so why are they not in the nominations?

Okay to be honest probably Tatiseo/SNSD & Troublemaker would win the awards... but on the other hand isn't this proof that T-ara right now is considered one of the top 5 girl bands? PS: Lovey Dovey not being nominated for best song of the year sucks, but I'll accept it .... BUT how the hell did Hyuna's Ice Cream get to be nominated for this category& for best dance solo when she only has started promoting this week? Also with all of their international promotions & Japanese albums why isn't T-ara nominated for Global Group Female, while F(x) is nominated?

Oh no. Come on if it's just rumours to promote the drama is such a horrible way to do it. But maybe is to stop haters to start asking not to put eunjung in the drama and not to make fans excited. Whatever the only thing i care is for Eunjung not to be hurt if it's for good i hope this to be true if not i hope is just a rumour. I'm sure her acting career has a brilliant future, maybe is better to wait but well we can only wish for the best and wait.
