[13.05.06] T-ara N4, "As public figures, we are sorry for everything we caused" Girl group T-ara finally talks about the rumors they have been involved with ever since their debut. They also for the first time explain what happened with the controversial bullying scandal last year, where Hwayoung left the group. On May 6th's episode of Mnet "Beatles Code", T-ara N4 appeared. T-ara N4 is T-ara's sub-unit consisting of Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon and Areum, and on this day, they talked candidly about the bullying scandal. Hyomin began by saying, "There are rumors about me being an iljin back in high school. It all began because I played around with those kids in my neighborhood and was friends with some of them.. but it wasn't anything more than that." She continued to say as she began to cry, "There were also rumors that I had assaulted friends and forced people to transfer. I have never hit anyone. If I did hit someone, I would hope the victim comes forward.. but it is untrue." When asked about why she transferred schools, she responded by saying, "My mom decided it for me, that I would transfer into a higher academic school. I never assaulted or hated on anybody. I never talked about this before because I didn't want anyone to make fun of my friends because of what I've said." T-ara N4 members admit that in July of 2012, there was a fallout between the members and Hwayoung that escalated after the SNS postings on Twitter. But unlike what people claim, Eunjung explained it was not bullying. She said, I understand why people would believe it was bullying by what had been published online, but I have my own bullying theories as well." She continued, "Between the two days that the case happened, it is true that we got into a quarrel with Hwayoung. However, we were thoughtless and behaved wrongly by posting it publicly over Twitter." "Posting it alone on Twitter was wrong by itself," she admitted. "As more time went on, rumors kept growing and we became more misunderstood. Even we looked had thought 'Are we really bullies' because of the way the Internet made it out to be. I always took pride in living my life with no shame, but afterwards I felt like I had became a horrible person." Eunjung commented on the fact that T-ara's article receive a lot of malicious comments online by saying, "Our comments get a lot and a lot of malicious comments. At first, I was curious, so I would read them, but I would get overwhelmed and had to stop reading soon." Hyomin said, "The most malicious comment I read online was after Soyeon unnie got into a traffic accident, and I read 'She should've just died' in an article comment. They even said the car accident was manipulated. The car accident was so severe that Soyeon was thrown out of the car." T-ara spoke about their controversial KBS2 "Music Bank" performance. Hyomin said, "The 'Music Bank' schedule was right after the fallout we had in Japan. It was a really awkward moment. We shared a long conversation with Hwayoung for about 40 minutes before the camera rehearsal." Hyomin recalls, "I said 'We've dreamed so long for this moment to be on this stage, so why are we arguing with eachother?' and then we apologized to her for what we did over Twitter. At the end, we were smiling and we finished our talk nicely and regretful of what happened." But the bullying controversy already spread across the Internet. After the camera rehearsal, Hyomin said, "After the camera rehearsal, we came back and it was everywhere on the Internet. 15 minutes before the live broadcast, the boss called and told Hwayoung not to go on stage at 'Music Bank'." But it was too late, because the feud between T-ara and Hwayoung spread online in just hours, and the agency's CEO had to make a decision for the group's unity. Hwayoung took part in rehearsals only, and didn't show on broadcast. After this, it was revealed Hwayoung would no longer be a member of T-ara. Hyomin and Eunjung said, "After the incident, we had to make appearances still. But we were not given permission to talk about the situation. We were so frustrated and it reappeared in our dreams. We just wanted to say two things, "Sorry" and 'We'll work harder.'" They continued to say, "If we tried to clarify our points, the case would become bigger. We really wanted to reveal the truth, but it was frustrating. We wanted to say what was true, and clarify what was wrong and promise to take time to reflect.. but to the public, we were just immature kids who didn't do anything and had no reflections." Jiyeon said, reflecting and saying she felt bad for Hwayoung, "Because T-ara members had already been working together for three years, we understood how she might have had trouble fitting in. I understand how she had troubles adapting to T-ara." The members said, "If we really hated Hwayoung, we would probably not care enough to make such a big deal and quarrel. We are regretful because Hwayoung must have been upset and lonely." Crying, they said, "As public figures, we are sorry for everything we caused." T-ara N4 addressed all the rumors, including the iljin school day rumors and not greeting their senior singers. T-ara was 100% candid on this day. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20130506n31837 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

[13.05.06] T-ara's Eunjung, "Ricecake Eunjung? The evil look on my face was intentional" T-ara's Eunjung confessed her feelings over the "ricecake incident." T-ara N4 (Eunjung, Hyomin, Jiyeon, Areum) appeared as guests on the May 6th episode of Mnet's "Beatles Code". At the time of the bullying incident, a case of "bullying evidence" was Eunjung forcefully pushing a ricecake into the mouth of Hwayoung while she was smiling on a Japan broadcast. Eunjung said, "It was only the penalty of the game." Eunjung said, "The team that wins gets to make the loser suffer a penalty of feeding them food in a fun way. It was deliberate that I built a more sinister look." According to Eunjung, Hwayoung was on the losing team with Hyomin and Qri, and her decision of forcefully feeding Hwayoung was not significant for any reason. She said, "We thought the idea was fun. We didn't have any idea it would become such a big deal." At this point, Jiyeon said that the PD told them "to exaggerate to make the show more funny and interesting." Eunjung then said, "I never can eat a lot of ricecake anymore." She talked about her nickname "Ricecake Eunjung" and commented, "During the Olympics, I would check Twitter, but I was really hurt just reading 'Ricecake Eunjung OUT' and comments like "Ricecake Eunjung, ricecake please~" *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20130507n00252 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem

Us QUEEN'S know the truth about the ricecake incident for a long time, but netizens choose to believe lies.

While being celebrities they chose to post their personal agendas on twitter which I believe was their mistake and for which they should be flaked but the so-called bullying and the manipulated evidences were ridiculous.. Since, they have touched each and everything about the scandal, I believe it should be more than enough for fans to be contended who has somewhat itching about that scandal.. Also, they came out and said "why you hating" to haters so I believe this confession was more or less for fans or general people like "You didnt follow wrong peoples, we never didnt anything wrong".. Glad that they apologized for that twit which was their mistake... My respect for them increased x100000000000000 XD!!

Anyone who has ever followed this issue from the beginning, already knew that all of those fabricated gifs spun with lying headlines made by antis are a bunch of nonsense. Antis just took parts from variety shows and didn't bother to pay any attention to what they were "really" watching. And if anyone who didn't know this as a fact by now, has learned a valuable lesson about themselves. Anyone who actually foolishly believed in those fabricated gifs suck at being investigators and won't last a forensics examination preliminary test, and fail miserably as T-ara fans. So proud of all of the members, including Hwayoung, who can still rejoin T-ara, during this time, because they stayed strong and supportive of each other.

Its already over so lets just all forget about it...haters can hate all they want..who gives a xxxx ! whats most important is that t-ara fandom stay united towards our girls and always believe in their pure innocent hearts..variety show MCs should stop asking about the issue...seriously hope that this is the last time our girls cry over this matter..no one is perfect ! ACCEPT THAT BLOODY FACT HATERS...which idol do not have scandals ? T-ARA's rise to the top shall not be stop...t-ara stay strong ! the storm is over and the sun shall soon come out ! believe in T-ARA !

I cant even.. Which part of " That was a game and everything was scripted" didint knetizens understand?? While they go after each and every next show being scripted, they chose this one to be real for their benefits to make it looked like bullying really happened. Like I always say" Truth is something that one wanna accept but not what the real fact is".. The Hypocrisy of Knetizens never fails to "WOW" me.. I have always believe and love Jungiee and will do that always.. Glad that she stepped forward and cleared everything!!

IMHO, I could care less about the "truth to the bullying incident." Scandals are gossip fodder for netizens and they love having it shoveled on them. I don't expect any explanations from T-ara but just want them to move on and be happy. And any fans that were swayed by the rumors should be the ones listening and stop the pessimism.

i pity eunjung unnie. (( just because of a game the people give her that nickname. k-netizens are really harsh. huhuhuhu. i know someday they will regain what they lost.

Well, netizens don't know what is a game. Be strong T-ara unnies! Don't mind them. Queen's are here to support you. T-ara fighting!

"A Batsu game (罰ゲーム, batsu gēmu), meaning "penalty game", is a common element in Japanese owarai stage comedy and variety shows. (...) and lead to the loser being slapped in the face by the winner. Other common examples include being forced into a pool of extremely hot water or eating something filled with wasabi." What people were expecting? To Eunjung feed Hwayoung with some grapes while combing her hair? So unfair...

It's nice they finally talked about it (besides Soyeon's interview last year). All I can say, more support for them, who knows what 'others' may say or do against T-ara at this point. Never lose faith, never stop trusting.

I hope Hwayoung make an opinion about this too. Poor girls, I'll always be supporting you

Hwayoung can still rejoin T-ara. Hyomin, Eunjung, Jiyeon, and Areum, and I'm very sure Soyeon, Boram, Qri, and Dani, miss her dearly. So proud of Hyomin, Eunjung, Jiyeon, and Areum. I'm sure it must've been difficult on Areum too, seeing, hearing, and experiencing such internal hardships. At least there are some antis accepting this, and actually returning to the fandom by dropping the whole foolish, idiotic anti-thinking.

It was only beause I was friends with those type of kids in my neighborhood, but I wasn't anything more than that. There were also rumors that I had assaulted my friends and forced them to transfer out of the school. I never once hit anybody. I'd rather someone came forward and claimed themselves as a victim if that were the case." When asked about her transfer, "I transferred schools because it was a decision made by my mom who wanted me to study at a higher level school because I had such an ardor for it. It wasn't at all because I bullied anyone. The reason I never said anything about it at the time was because I didn't want anyone to make fun of my friends because of me." Eunjung: "I can see why people would think of it as bullying if they only saw what was revealed online. But I also had my own bullying rumors. Between the two days that the scandal occurred, we did get into a fight with Hwayoung. I admit that it was wrong of us to use Twitter to publicly express ourselves like that. The fact that we posted those things on Twitter was wrong in and of itself. The longer we stayed quiet, the bigger the misunderstandings and the rumors got. At one point, even we wondered of we were bullies because the internet made it seem that way. I was always proud of the fact that I had lived without anything to be embarrassed of, so it was miserable for me to feel like I had become a horrible person." Eunjung: "Whenever an article about us is released, there are a lot of hateful comments on them. I read them at first because I was curious but I can no longer read them because they make me feel so down." Hyomin: "The hateful comment that upset me the most was when Soyeon unni was in a car accident and someone wrote, 'Just die.' They even claimed the accident was manipulated. The actual accident was serious enough so that Soyeon unni was hurled out of the car." Hyomin: "After there was a fight in Japan, we had a 'Music Bank' schedule right after it. It was an awkward moment for us. We talked for about 40 minutes with Hwayoung in Korea. It was a stage that we had all dreamt of standing on and I didn't want to go on it with a fight." Hyomin + Eunjung: "After the scandal, we had to make a public appearance. We couldn't say anything about it given the situation and it frustrated us to the point where it bothered us in our dreams. I just wanted to say two things: 'I'm sorry and I'll work harder.' If we had explained what had actually happened, the scandal would've gotten bigger. We wanted to tell the truth. We wanted to admit what was true and explain what was wrong and promise to reflect. But to the public, we became kids that did nothing." Jiyeon: "Because we had already worked with each other for three years, I understand it might've been difficult for Hwayoung to fit in with the members. I bet it was hard for her to adjust to T-ara..." Group: "If we had really hated Hwayoung, I don't think there would've even been a fight. But because of us, Hwayoung must've been really upset and lonely. Whatever the reason, we're just sorry that as public figures, we caused what we did." edit : eng subs part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkGAbkzSyt4 credit @ vineo1223 @ youtube

[11.07.03] T-ara's Hyomin is a retro goddess! On July 2th, T-ara's Hyomin showed off her goddess-like beauty through a tweeted picture. In the picture, Hyomin is wearing the vibrant costume from T-ara's new song "Roly-Poly". Her dark eyes are definitely suggestive of lead female characters in romance comics, someone who is unrealistically beautiful. Netizens commented, "This picture is really retro goddess-like", and "Hyomin looks like a doll", etc... Meanwhile, T-ara are still busy promoting for their comeback and afterward debuting in Japan. *** Source: Newsen Translated by: Special One @ Diadem
