I admired SBS back then as to how they accepted Joo Ji Hoon despite him being blacklisted in other networks due to his drug case. I also admired SBS back then as to how they said they will keep Eunjung despite the bullying rumors. They could have rejected her when the T-ara controversy heated up, but they didn't. I was also happy that Eunjung's co-actors in the drama accepted her and encouraged her...
Then they allowed her to attend the press conference. She tried her best to be professional by smiling her best even though she is still obviously hurting. She smiled and laughed too sometimes during the event, as she tried to escape her pain and look forward to the drama. Eunjung's fans supported her in that event, with all the rice wreaths, etc. Now that ratings are high, and Eunjung is already rehearsing her scenes and her piano skills, they met an actress behind her back and replaced her arbitrarily, unilaterally, unfairly.
Those sponsors, ugh!
So SBS, Five Fingers production team, etc eventually gave in to the demands of those sponsors and anti-fans.
Cowardice. Scared of anti-fans, never cared for the actual fans.
They feared that Eunjung's appearance will give them losses? Wrong. They lost Eunjung too and the fans behind her.
They used her T-ara publicity, made her a fool by letting her practice for nothing, stabbed her in the back, abandoned her and crushed her pride like that.
Poor Eunjung, so defeated, so helpless, she had no choice but to accept their decision.
How can they treat their lead actress like this?
I posted so many good things about the drama. I even said this drama is nice because of the music story regardless of who the actors are. I am very sorry. I take my words back. Somehow I already got myself so invested in this drama with Eunjung in it. And I can't seem to see Hong Da Mi played by anyone else other than Eunjung. Perhaps out of my love for music and piano I will watch the drama in the future...perhaps next year or I don't know, time will heal these wounds. But for now, I can't seem to watch it knowing that Eunjung was betrayed this way.
Replacing her is probably not a problem with me if they did it before the press conference and they ride on the heat of the controversy a few weeks ago, but knowing how much Eunjung wanted this role, how she supposedly gave up WGM for this and how much she worked hard for this and she already attended the press conference... this unfair manner of replacement... ugh! I guess I will have to say pass... for now.
Dear May Queen, I am presuming that you treat your actors well unlike others... so I wish you the best in the ratings game in the Sat-Sun 9:50pm timeslot.
Eunjung, be strong. This too shall pass. There's no way but up!!! Fighting!!!
I hope the T-ara comeback single Sexy Love won't be jeopardized like this too. T-ara Fighting!!!
It breaks my heart to see Eunjung so.... not herself. I mean, she feels bad about this entire thing and it looks like she's punishing herself.
Which I don't think she should - none of them should. I think the netizens are doing more then enough thoughtless punishing.
I hope she takes care of herself and that the rest of the girls are okay.
This T-J Smthing something Should just remain quiet... They brought this all up grr. THis Didn't Happen Before When Hwayoung is already in the group.. And Yet again this people forget that variety Shows are meant for Entertainment And CUTS!!. Get it CUTS, I'm a Queen I support them all the way. Including Hwayoung
