Members of T-ara’s anti-cafe are geometrically increasing in number

Amid the controversy over Core Contents Media’s cancellation of a contract with T-ara’s Hwayoung, members of T-ara’s anti-cafe, We Ask T-ara to Reveal the Truth, are geometrically increasing in number.

As of July 31 at 8:30 a.m., the number of members of the cafe exceeded 252,000. This cafe was opened on July 29 by people who were outraged by the rumor that T-ara’s Hwayoung was being bullied by other members, asking T-ara and their agency, Core Contents Media, to reveal the truth.

On July 28, Kim Kwang Soo, a CEO of Core Contents Media, said he would make an important announcement about the rumors about T-ara on July 30, and he announced that the agency would cancel a contract with Hwayoung.

After that, the number of members of the T-ara’s anti-cafe increased rapidly, and the number exceeded 57,000 within a day.

As Core Contents Media announced its cancellation of a contract with Hwayoung, she now has to leave the team. It’s been only 20 months since she joined the team.

Some people say the decision of the agency doesn’t make sense because Hwayoung is actually a victim of bullying.

However, Core Contents Media says the rumor about Hwayoung being bullied by other T-ara members is not true, and Hwayoung has rather done many things that surprised many people. The agency also says they had to make such a decision because her behavior was not appropriate as a girl group member and she didn’t want to improve her behavior at all. They insisted that Hwayoung was not a victim of bullying but a member who damaged other T-ara and staff members.

Core Contents Media cancels a contract with T-ara’s Hwayoung without any strings attached

Core Contents Media will cancel a contract with T-ara’s Hwayoung without any strings attached.

Kim Kwang Soo, a CEO of Core Contents Media, T-ara’s agency, came back to Korea on July 29, a day earlier than planned, and explained the agency’s position to T-ara and 19 staff members until 7:00 a.m. on July 30.

Core Contents Media announced, “It’s been hard to make such a decision, but this was the only option we could choose for T-ara’s future. Gathering the opinions of a total of 19 staff members (five stylists, seven hair&make-up artists, five on-site managers, and two chief managers), we’re cancelling a contract with Hwayoung without any strings attached.”

Kim said, “I’ve always stressed the importance of good teamwork to T-ara because it could lead them further. It’s been hard to make such a decision, but this was the only option we could choose for T-ara’s future.” However, the rumor about Hwayoung being bullied by other T-ara members is not true. Eunjung, Soyeon, and Boram also suffered from the same type of rumors in the past, but they happened because of other members’ jealousy that only lasted for couple of days.”

Super Junior’s Siwon for 2PM’s Nichkhun ^^

Super Junior’s Choi Siwon recently tweets about the ‘Drink-and-Drive Incident’ of 2PM’s Nichkhun.

Siwon tweeted several words to his follower saying, “A few days ago korean idol group 2PM member Nichkhun was involved in a traffic accident, while drinking and driving which is an absolutely illegal action. To this point Nickhun should regret, and refrain from committing such actions ever again. I believe he is examining himself more because of this accident. Nickhun is a symbol of the Thai dream of success and has significance for both Korea and Thailand. Let us give him time to reflect from which he will emerge a better and reborn person. Thank you.”

Siwon really shows respect to fellow idols and supports them through rough times. Let Nichkhun reflect on his wrong doings and don’t judge him by what he has done lately.
