T-ara’s Eunjung forces Hwa Young to eat rice cakes



A video of T-ara’s Enjung forcing Hwa Young to eat a rice cake is drawing a lot of attention.
An online community posted captured images from the video with the caption, “Ham Eunjung and rice cakes.” In the show, which was recorded in Japan, Eunjung is forcing Hwa Young to eat a rice cake.”
Eunjung and other members are smiling but Hwa Young looks like she is about to cry. Eunjung is putting a big rice cake into Hwa Young’s mouth and the video made people believe that they have been bullying Hwa Young.
People responded: “How can they look so happy after forcing her to eat rice cakes?” “Eunjung is laughing but Hwa Young looks like she is about to cry.” “What if Hwa Young gets indigestion?”
On July 28, T-ara members tweeted criticisms, which sounded like they blamed Hwa Young for not performing on stage due to her injured leg. Those tweets caused a controversy over Hyo Young being bullied and T-ara’s agency, Core Contents Media, ultimately announced that they had canceled Hwa Young’s contract.
The agency said, “We think teamwork is important so we decided to listen to opinions from nineteen staff members. We don’t want them to suffer anymore so we decided to cancel Hwa Young’s contract.”
After the announcement from the agency, Hwa Young expressed her feelings by tweeting, “The facts without the truth.” Then the agency said, “T-ara appeared on KBS’s Music Bank on July 27. Hwa Young, however, with only two teams were left before their performance, suddenly announced that she would not perform on stage . Eunjung and Hyomin had to cover Hwa Young’s rap in order not to cause problems during the program.”
According to the agency, even though there are several incidents regarding Hwa Young, president Kim wanted to protect her by keeping those incidents under wraps. They also said that it is unfortunate that she felt the need to leave such a comment on her Twitter account. They said, “We hope that Hwa Young realizes what she did wrong.”
Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu also tweeted that she hopes T-ara members can perform together in great harmony.

A Japanese staff member mentions about T-ara’s Hwayoung: “She was a sweet girl”



As T-ara’s agency has announced cancellation of its contract with Hwayoung, a staff member of Japanese mass media who heard the news left some comments that began, “Hwayoung was a sweet girl.”
On July 30, the staff member tweeted, “When I participated in a commercial shooting with T-ara as an interpreter and an assistant (in February), she (Hwayoung) was extremely quiet, not talking to anyone on the set. She wasn’t talking to anyone, not to makeup artists nor to the other members of the group, but just working on her own thing. She kept smiling for us, though. I remember her as the girl with the best facial expression.
Someone told me to look after her because she was new in the group and felt shy around cameras. I tried my best to make her feel comfortable, but it was true that she appeared low in energy. On seeing all this, I thought, ‘Is she nervous because she is new here or does she not have good relationship with the other members?’”
She added, “I guess she didn’t get along with the others very well afterwards. Poor thing.. Certainly, most people in this industry have strong character living in a delusion that they are the most beautiful people in the whole world. About 99% of them are this way, so the kind and sweet ones find it very hard to survive here. It is true that you won’t survive if you don’t become one of them, but…”
At 1:00 p.m. on July 30, the Core Contents Media announced, “Because T-ara puts its teamwork before eight individual members and with the respect of 19 different staff members, we came up with this decision after careful consideration. We believe that none of the staff need to go through hard time anymore, and we decided to cancel our contract with Hwayoung without any conditions.”

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.
