[12.08.02] Jo Harang comment on T-ara's situation "It must stop now!" Jo Harang decided to speak about T-ara's current situation of bullying. Jo Harang tweeted on July 30th, "You're here, but you're invisible. One day feels like a year, breathing is easy but you feel uneasy. The entertainment industry has the same environment as schools, companies, societies, institutes...This witch-hunting must stop for sure!" The next day, Jo Harang continued to post on Twitter this: "Starting from a young age, children start to acknowledge that you need to work hard in life [to get what you want], and you focus on this so much that you don't put any of your time into building a "relationship" and lack social skills. Lacking the experience of having a social life and troubles to maintain a relationship doesn't fade away when you suddenly elevate yourself into a high position (celebrey/famous)." Jo Harang was a member of "Jewelry", a group that also had to face a bullying controversy in the past, with her being the "witch-hunted member." Jo Harang tweeted again 31th July, exposing her uncomfortable heart: "The problem is brought by the public with a witch-hunt, even if it's not true [the rumor of bullying]. It was hard for me, back then, to have to read such articles [about me]. It is important [for T-ara] to overcome this and to live in the present." Netizens have reacted to these tweets saying thing like "Jo Harang seems to have troubles in her heart", "it seems that even idols are now refocusing themselves on the truth." "We need to brush off [this rumor] now" **** Source: http://news.nate.com.../20120802n30382 Translated by: shining star`★ @diadem *Usually don't post articles about Tweets from T-ara/other celebrities in the news section but this is different because she went through the same exact situation as the T-ara members being "witch-hunted."

Kim Kwangsoo need to learn how to deal with the press/public opinion. So far all his statement tends to prove the contrary of what they announced in the precedent press release. (ie Hwayoung "misbehaviour"). So far he looks like if he trying to "persecute" Hwayoung with all these press statement claiming that behave badly and all, while trying to make T-ara looks good. Honestly KKS needs to stop talking to the press, and let the fans digest the current news about Hwayoung. Right now that only thing is is doing is making T-ara looks bad.

I knew this big announcement was about hwayoung quitting the group...Too much negative press for T-ara due to the rumors regarding Hwayoung. I'm not going to comment about the whole "bullying thing because we don't know what really happen. However CCM PR Team needs to be slapped or go back to school, like seriously. All these press statements, only reinforce the fact that Hwayoung might have been bullied and was for sure an outcast in the group. You don't claim that the "supposed bullied" member was an outcast because of her attitude. It's like throwing alcohol to stop a fire. it make things worse, because now every one feels like CCM is trying to hide something, and put all the blame on the leaving members, this case Hwayoung, when the leaving member can't "defend" herself (ie she doesn't have a PR team or a company to back her up) this basically mean she cost too much money with this neg press, might as well end her contract, but too be sure she will not grow as a free artist let's spread some rumors about her misbehavior.

Doesn't surprise, CCM handled this case so badly that it backfire to T-ara. I'm sure this PD is the first but not the last who will do this kind of announcement. Too bad for the girls.

I just hope we'll able to hear the song during the teaser! I'm always afraid that we will only get 50 sec of close shot with some weird intro, instead of having the real song. I'm so excited about their comeback.
