[18.01.08] MBK Entertainment and Banana Culture deny rumors of luxury sports car gifts and 9 billion KRW contract fee

On the 7th of January, MBC Section TV reported that Banana Culture, headed by Wang Si Cong, paid MBK Entertainment 9 billion won in contract fees and gifted luxury sports cars to the members of T-ara.

On the morning of 8th, a representative from MBK Entertainment stated, "it is not true that T-ara received sports cars from Wang Si Cong."

However, on the afternoon of the same day; members Qri, Hyomin and Jiyeon personally reached out to Wang Si Cong via Weibo requesting clarification on the recent rumors.

T-ara's message to Wang Si Cong reads, "I don't know how to contact you, so I only can do it like this. Has Banana Culture ever sent luxury sports cars to T-ara? And is it true that Banana Culture gave MBK Entertainment 9 billion won? Waiting for your reply!"

In response to T-ara, Banana Culture released an official statement.

1. What the members posted on Weibo, regarding the 9 billion KRW contract fee and luxury sports cars gift, is not true.
2.  The information reported by the news outlets is false.
3.  T-ara's contract with Banana Culture expired on December 31st, 2017, and was not renewed.
4. During the duration of the contract, T-ara actively cooperated with us.

T-ara responded in thanks to Banana Culture's statement.

I heard Section TV issues a public apology for releasing this rumor as factual news.

Why are the media still making the same mistakes over and over again?

Do they really check their sources?

Do they even have enough creditable sources?

For a missed opportunity to join in to defend the girls?  If yes, then I would agree.
