nathaniel Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 [12.08.04] CEO Kim Kwangsoo public apology, "One misunderstanding lead to another misunderstanding" CEO Kim Kwangsoo of Core Contents Media has revealed a handwritten apology. On August 4th, Core Contents Media said, "On the 3rd, CEO Kim Kwangsoo met with the owner of Sajeongyeon 아르빛 (Nickname) and talked about the misunderstandings between the two." After this, Kim Kwangsoo has released a public handwritten apology to the press. He said in his public apology, "This is Core Contents Media's CEO Kim Kwangsoo. After Hwayoung's contract was terminated, there were many people who misunderstood what was said and lead to more misunderstandings about bullying and a blur to what happen. I apologize and bow my head." He continued to talk about T-Jinyo, Saejeongyeon and T-ara's anti-cafes. "There is a lot of love for T-ara. I consider all the T-Jinyo and Sajeongyeon members to be people who love T-ara. I would like to thank the many who held interest and concerns and watched over T-ara and will meet with whoever necessary to clear the air." He also talked about Hwayoung, who stands in the middle of the controversy. "I hope that she finds an agency that will help her study music and become a better rapper and artist. Please give a lot of interest and support to Hwayoung's next move in music." He finished with a comment on himself which was, "I'll strive to be more careful and not as reckless in front of the public's eyes. Again, I'd like to apologize for causing a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of social interest over this topic," he finished. *** Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20120804n07298 Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem rennie, Farnaz, hyominheart and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelixFelicis96 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wut. KKS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR BRAIN?! First you cause all this mess, then you apologise. Hello? :/ Hjdblajpdbkkddbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envY Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I would consider this a positive step for KKS in becoming a better CEO. I think what a lot of people fail to realize is that this is not only a learning experience for T-ara, but for KKS as well. Hopefully he will learn that slave driving like the way he does will cause T-ara to be more stressed. Which will in turn lead to internal conflicts. Also, "I consider all the T-Jinyo and Sajeongyeon members to be people who love T-ara" ... What? I'm pretty sure a lot of the people in T-Jinyo are antis looking to cause trouble. yestiasr, babybooboo, Seorori and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskingmark Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 well u just need to tell us the truth only the truth and nothing else stop saying unreasonable things this is exactly the reason why he should keep quite and not say anything. he has again and again mentioned that problem lies with hwa. even over here he mentions it is not bullying. even after him saying so many things you still want the truth . that itself shows how pointless it as as you just want to hear one thing and one thing only. If i came across as rash in that comment i apologize. i just wanted to let out some steam when i saw your comment. but even then like ryan said the people want to only hear one thing as the truth. sitinurhaniza, klover and WooRi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbot Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Now.. if he only would resign.. but first get a real PR expert, hold a press conference, make a video presentation to compare "the evidences" vs. real truth, and clear the air.. then get a talk show appearance for the girls or documentary show to seal the deal.. yestiasr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskingmark Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 explanation would be nice..... However even if the bulling claims are quashed, people would then want to know what happened. right now an explanation would hurt one of the sides i think .

FelixFelicis96 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Doesn't apologizing after you mess something up make sense? It does to me... Sorry. Didn't phrase it properly, wasn't thinking properly either. I didn't mean it like that. Of course KKS apologizing was a good thing. yestiasr and Faedra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leah cala Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 because of this controversy, t-ara members will be too stress in the future esp in variety shows because everyone will watch them more closely and their interaction with the new members... this will be too tiring for them, i mean having no rest no sleep and then be judge for little things now when attending shows will affect the girls surely. i hope ccm have realize this things and stop adding new members already..The old members have no time and energy to babysit new members and expect them to be lovey dovey all the time. gosh thinking about all the public attention when the girls do variety shows and inspect their interaction is giving me a headache winnieBG, yestiasr, ZZuRRa and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnkage Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 tch was that so hard KKS? but maybe is to late to apologize all the damage is done (not that it has no fix) I hope he doesn't act childish again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven_potter Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 well i guess this is a turn on the right direction honestly people would never expect him to apologize. I do hope some lesson can be learned for this t-ara fighting! yestiasr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorHammer Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wow, I didn't expect this. But I did like it a lot... there are some saying that nothing was explained, but this is a positive step. I think now is past the time for explanations... It would just add more fuel, and we don't need that. But the apology is a big step especially for KKS. He admitted some of the guilt, I don't see why people are bashing him for this, honestly. As much as I don't like him, this was the right move now. yestiasr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Super2 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wut. KKS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR BRAIN?! First you cause all this mess, then you apologise. Hello? :/ Hjdblajpdbkkddbx Well at least he apologised for what he done. Hes not BlockB or Nickhun to be accept in public..... Thats because it so unfair in this world. yestiasr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkskyes Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 KKS didn't cause this mess, he didn't start the stupid rumors. Only provided vague explanations and people refused to believe ANYTHING that he mentioned. It was started by hater's rumors, spread by fools and believed by idiots after all. And no matter what he says or Hwayoung OR even other people, haters just refuse to believe anything unless it fits into their "t-ara bullied hwayoung" scenario with their out of context evidence. I mean com'on T-ara may have outcasted Hwayoung or Hwayoung may have acted arrogant, no one knows the truth yet people just keep bashing all these people causing them so much sufferings.

joyce_20176 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 There still no clear explanation on the issue >.<, but at least KKS knew that he is wrong and failed as a CEO, and apologized to all parties involved. Hopefully T-ara members and Hwa can get over this, stay positive and come back stronger than ever. And hope that antis can stop harassing, bullying and attacking them!!! I want to see all the girls happy and have a peaceful time during this difficult situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly I'm sick of hearing people say this. If we're meant to hear what truly happened, it's not going to be because a bunch of fans, ex-fans, antis, or T-Jinyo pressured T-ara into speaking publicly about it, it will be because T-ara as a group feels comfortable enough to do so. The girls are probably in a fragile state of mind right now, hence why we haven't seen them once since this whole scandal erupted. They're probably in no condition to be making public appearances, and God only knows what's going on behind the scenes of this whole scandal. Stop focusing on something that doesn't involve you directly, it was never an issue involving fans to begin with. The biggest concern is that T-ara as a group resolves this, not whether or not you as a fan hear the truth. Anyways, the hidden subtext is that you want to hear them admit that they bullied someone, which may or may not have been the case; if they say anything else besides that you'll probably continue to call them liars. And if you truly are a Christian, your primary concern will be that the girls are okay, not whether or not they speak out about this matter any time soon. You should be praying that Jiyeon, Eunjung, Soyeon, Hyomin, Boram, Qri, Areum, and Hwayoung are all okay and are being watched over by whatever higher power they choose to believe in. hyominheart, retro40, cynt29 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatter_88mil Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 As much as I'm surprised to hear about this, I can't help but think this could be another possible publicity stunt to some form of degree, regardless if he's learnt from this or not. This is KKS we're talking about after all - and he certainly did not pull off any sort of apology to anyone when Nam Gyuri and 5dolls' Soomi followed a similar fate as Hwayoung did. What makes T-ara such a spectacular exception in regards to him apologizing? He's clearly lopped the top off others previously. He may as well be trying to regain whatever credibility he had was lost, if the timing is considered. Until he's going to treat the girls better, start putting some serious reforms as WELL as listening to whatever complaints and demands the group has to their labor rights and the like, I'm not fully buying this at all. There needs to be more than just a simple public apology. No, he needs to apologize to everyone. Not just the public, but T-ara as well for being the deep and sole root of this entire debacle. He has much more to compensate for. TSC1981 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsify Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 At least he apologize . I guess its a step he took right and we will have to wish that T-ara will become better so do Hwayoung ighada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
