YeIn E&M's Official Apology Sent to KEMA Regarding Eunjung and Five Fingers January 23rd 2013- YeIn E&M's official apology sent to the Korean Entertainment Management Association. Recipients: Korean Entertainment Management Association, Penalties Adjustment Ethics Committee Date: 2013. 01. 23. 1. We wish for the everlasting prosperity of KEMA. 2. YeIn E&M decided to cast Core Contents Media’s artist Ham Eunjung for the role of Hong Dami in SBS’s Special Production Drama “Five Fingers.” 3. After casting Ham Eunjung, our company did not adequately discuss and communicate with Core Contents Media and the actor in question, did not have an accurate and full understanding about the T-ara incident, and unilaterially decided to remove a faultless actor from the drama “Five Fingers” before releasing any notice [about the removal]. 4. Further, our company’s removal and replacement of the original actor has caused great harm to Ham Eunjung and her reputation and self-esteem. [Releasing] reports about “loss of production fees” without any communication with the actor who had, with great sincerity and a positive attitude, attended script and piano practices, poster shooting, and also the press conference, and using hair-dyeing as a reason to discontinue filming, we are deeply regretful and apologetic towards Ham Eunjung and the Penalties Adjustment Ethics Committee, KEMA. Our failure to fully consider the actor’s position led to a wrongdoing and is an error on the part of the production team. 5. Our disregard of the fact that there was no problem with Ham Eunjung’s participation in the drama, our production company’s error in judgment, and the failure of SBS Directors and writers to handle the situation properly - it was because of this that such an incident happened. 6. Further, regarding the reputational loss and the irreparable and immense spiritual harm caused to actor Ham Eunjung, we will restore her reputation and try our best to remedy the damage. 7. Our company is also of the view that there should not be any conventional practices of unilateral removal of actors. Not from the production company's but from KEMA and actor's point of view, this is a matter of great importance currently being reviewed, and about KEMA’s concerns and worry about this, we express our sincere apologies. To prevent this from happening again, we will participate in creating a positive production environment. In the future, even though this will not happen again, regarding similar incidents that may happen, we will work hard to communicate and to look for a satisfactory resolution in accordance with KEMA’s policy measures. 8. In this regard, we ask KEMA to understand our company’s position and request that the case “KEMA members’ boycott of YeIn E&M dramas for 2 years”, put forward by the Penalties Adjustment Ethics Committee, be withdrawn. 9. Our company hopes that everything can be resolved satisfactorily and will work hard with KEMA together to create a positive television drama production environment.

After those long BS, the point is they only want to avoid 2 years penalty (#8). They don't think about how they "will restore her reputation and try our best to remedy the damage" (#6).

It takes almost 6 months to state an apology letter..sigh. What can be done. The damage is done. Hope this will be a lesson for the other companies so they won't easily accept rumors and kick someone out like a boss without mercy ==' But then again, this industry is indeed harsh.

FIve fingers, Five fingers... Five fingers.... THIS IS THE ONLY FINGER I CAN THINK RIGHT NOW. -image removed- From the begining we knew Eunjung had done nothing wrong to deserve that low and unprofessional treatment from SBS and Yeil E&M. The worst part is that something so horrible happened to someone like Eunjung who is well known to sacrifice herself because of the people she loves and her professional responsabilities. Now they want to "apologize"? Why NOW? why not when Five fingers was still being airing? Why did they made up a low excuse such as Eunjung supposedly didn´t want to wear sponsored clothes? Why not, when Eunjung was crying locked by herself with depression? And this "Sincere" apology finishes asking KEMA to withdrawal of the case and stop the boycott of YeIn E&M dramas for 2 years? is that a sincere apology? And now HOW are they going to give Eunjung back what they took away from her? not only money(I think they must pay with money too), but her reputation, the menthal damage and the possible consecuences then and from now after such a big shock and depression? i hope KEMA, says something like... we are happy they apologize and show the truth about Eunjung that is totally innocent and the only thing she did was prepare for her role as much as she could. Ok apology acepted and now take your time to pay for what you did. KEMA will not take away the boycot... i hope this news spread so much as the stupid xxxxing rumours that run so fast in Korean media and this can bring some dignity back to Eunjung, i hope this makes some produccers and TVs to stop being affraid to ask her to work for them, because from T-ara´s stupid and false rumours the one who lost the most and who suffered worst was HAM EUNJUNG. And she did n´t desereve that, time can´t go back that´s sad i hope time give her back what she lost.
