What REALLY Happened With T-ARA (2024 Update)

[@joeblack3623]

Their management wanting to add a 7th member that time still baffles me to this day. They were already a powerhouse with 6 members. All them have great visuals, Soyeon has superb vocals, Eunjung and Hyomin were great on variety shows, and as a whole they're super talented in singing and dancing. Them adding a 7th member who's supposed to be a rapper (when Eunjung, Hyomin, and Boram already are decent rappers) completely messed up the group's chemistry and it became their downfall. Never forget that T-ara is the 2nd biggest girl group in the 2nd gen behind SNSD. Their music show wins, hits, and achievements says it all.

[@Bon-ie2in]

During 2010 many members had solo activities such as acting in dramas, so it was kinda hard for them to perform as full group thus it prompted the company to make the decision to add Hwayoung as a way to fill the group more fully, that’s why when you look at line distribution of the group will see that it’s mainly her rapping and no singing at all even tho Boram is also good at rappping the was not as fully as it was promoting.

[@maichavang92]

To me it's 2ne1

[@BlueSunShineDM]

@@Bon-ie2inactually, the main reason was Management also felt the group would do better with more competition and fear that they could be replaced(to make them still focus on group activities and solo. He also wanted to make them like the main rival of SNSD so he wanted to make them a 9 member group. Even hired Dani when she barely turned 13. All of this was managements fault trying to do more than they needed to

[@Liquid_silver88]

Yeah but they're trash now. Just a bunch of has beens

[@yeahyeahyeah3724]

​@@maichavang92I agree

[@citizencr4o]

This CEO was so awful at decision making. Should have never added new members and just kept the original 6 T-ARA members. Then when T-ARA scandal happened, never communicated anything with the public and let t-ara get slandered constantly by netizens.

[@Mal.victory]

T-ara would've definitely be among the big5 2nd gen groups if that company never added a new member and stayed 0t6

[@komnithviseth9649]

Frrr

[@GeorginaBas]

They are always one of the biggest girl group of 2nd gen. I mean they are actually one of the best selling 2nd gen girl group when it comes to physical and digital sales.

[@MoonMoonTM]

They were literally neck and neck with SNSD at their peak. Lol

[@Mal.victory]

@@GeorginaBas that's amazing

[@woncross4889]

The fact tht the editor has to put *2024 updated* 😂😂 these never ending drama😂

[@isei92]

We won't ever know what really happened, but the fault lays on company's side. Why did they add new members to already well known and established group? I'm glad that at least they didn't add this young girl Dani.

[@Harra23]

Honestly, Hwayoung had never really posted these 'proofs' of her version of the story. I really followed T-Ara back then and it was so heartbreaking to watch them slowly but surely go downhill. Everyone has shown their cards at this point of the story, but Hwayoung and her sister still arent posting hard proof. It has always felt like they've held on to the controversy to stay relevant.

[@maimee2angel]

It was witchhunting by netizen

[@noel_rahman]

If the members have bad behavior, there's no way they can survived until now, cuz tv staff never talk about it, besides, hwayoung cant prove what she said. I know T-ara for a long time, Jiyeon fainted due to busy schedules, Eunjung breaking legs, Soyeon swine flu, only sleep for 2 hours during their gold era, Lord, they're hardworking and nice members, those staffers are fiction too

[@GeorginaBas]

And the other girls do really have great relationship with the former staffs.

[@jgr1580]

There are so many unanswered questions with the down fall of T-ara! The CEO is directly responsible for all of it. I’m more upset & interested in why he ousted both Soyeon & Boram and why the remaining 4 never mention them since 2017. The core success of T-ara was with the 6 members with Soyeon’s vocals being the key to most of their best songs.

[@MoonMoonTM]

My favorite thing to come out of the update is Hwayoung saying she views bullying as bad as murder. As if her sister didn't literally threaten to harm a member physically. 💀 Also notice that none of the people supporting Hwayoung with their "accounts of what happened", were dead silent back in 2017.

[@afk270]

Why is no one blaming the CEO? Why even add new members to an already established and successful group to begin with. Clearly the older members had resentment to the new ones and felt that they did not go through the same hardships as they did before. At the same time the newer members were clearly ostracized and most likely were bullied maybe verbally and emotionally by the older members. In a way everybody was at fault here but especially the CEO and the company for creating this toxic environment.

[@fghjfghjk2192]

everybody blamed ceo wtf

[@MoonMoonTM]

You must not pay much attention because the majority of the blame has always been put on KKS.

[@yogiesanba938]

1, the company made big mistake by adding the 7 member 2, that new member is a dangerous snake 3. Company did nothing to protect original member being bullied by netizen and even the rude staff's of big even 4. That snake keep playing victim

[@문준휘-x7o]

So WHY T-ARA is still in silence about Hwa's accusations??

[@yogiesanba938]

@문준휘-x7o many people believe hwayoung is a wealthy family member that have power on agency back then

[@di_xox4747]

I dislike her at the bottom of my heart. I dislike the kdrama she was in

[@kingkanyon]

This why I support New Jeans, a CEO at any time can kick you out of a group or company but these same companies will hold people hostage and find ways to Black list you…. That they signed a contract never holds up when it’s the company

[@gabriellapietrakowski3429]

All I have to say is, hon where is your proof. Where are the texts, photos, emails, etc? There are texts of her being mean, the famous photo of her being help, in a wheelchair and walking normally all in the same setting, clothes, time.

[@zayneschildreninmymouth]

Just prob for ppl to click in and watch the vids

[@gabriellapietrakowski3429]

@@zayneschildreninmymouth im not talking about the video

[@GeorginaBas]

Im also waiting for her " evidence "

[@Pupperonipuppy]

me see T-ARA, me click.

[@farah_felice]

It’s the end of 2024 and the scandal is STILL being brought up. Poor T-ara. They should be happily celebrating their 15th anniversary like 2NE1. But alas…

[@noel_rahman]

She even didnt show the proof, just bluffing. Areum is crazy, I know T-ara for a long time, the members really nice and humble

[@yeahyeahyeah3724]

You talking like you know them personally 😅

[@GeorginaBas]

She even told in an interview that she was never bullied, that the thing happened with them is normal within group of girls. It was her words against her.

[@briangoodpaster2438]

I will always love T ara . I mean this professionally. I love their voice, their music . I wish they could have worked every thing out . ❤🌹🧸

[@gustavobrggg]

The only one to blame is the company. Adding a member on a group that didn’t needed a new one was definitely the worst choice they could made. I understand T-ARA’s allegedly disappointment in Hwayoung entering the group, because they are from a small company and had to work very hard to achieve success. I’d also not want to share it with a newcomer that got only the good part of it; Hwayoung entered after they had massive hits like TTL and I Go Crazy Because of You, it wasn’t fair to the other six and she also didn’t had much to add. I’ll forever stand with T-ARA

[@ginomadjusvlog]

I love T-ara and I really followed T-Ara back then and it was so heartbreaking to watch them slowly but surely go downhill then I cried when "what's your name" era won their first win again after for long hardship. In my opinion the company or the ceo should to blame because they didn't protect the girls and yes why they always adding new members in an establish and success girl group that time. Anyway I hope they can move on to this. It's been so long. I hope the OG 6 will reuinite once more.

[@gj7854]

The other rumor I heard was that they wanted to try a morning musume style where one member graduates and another joins but the girls were like hello no way!

[@phantomthief4934]

This is so twisted

[@BillyWhaler]

So Hwayoung created friction. The other girls ganged up on her. And Hwayoung countered. The end.

[@makixto]

T-ara was my childhood, adding Hwayoung does sit fine with me coz I think they are trying to do something like Akb48 adding members while the og members graduated since I can see 4 of them can easily do solo activities during those time, and Hwayoung's rap is no joke, but adding ahreum afterwards the planning to add dani that was a little off to me since it should be like we are trying to build a 9 membered girl grp

[@maimee2angel]

Back then those old men obsessed with 9 members group like snsd

[@Stangidleorflop]

Didnt u make the same video talking about the exact same thing like a few months ago😭😭😭

[@flyingbatuuu3556]

They already have 2 all rounders, Hyomin and Eunjung. Vocal, rap, dance, acting. They would've been more than fine without any additional member!

[@OfficiallyEnzo]

Why can’t they just let T-Ara go? 😢

[@LethaboAkinlusi-r1t]

How on earth can this news from 2012 be relevant today?, anyways I don't know who was the victim, was it hwayoung?

[@55ro1able]

Meanwhile, me @ 19 i work my ass off already.

[@honodle7219]

I don't think we will ever know the true story. They are done and make no more music. But they left us some really fantastic songs.

[@bing2b989]

Lovely dovey oh oh oh , rolly Polly rolly rolly poly 👯‍♀️🕺💃

[@yeahyeahyeah3724]

I'm not siding with anyone since I'm not even a fan, but yeah. I've seen some of the so-called proofs that the netz gathered about the "mistreatment," and yes, some of it was pretty mean. For example, when Jiyeon won a beauty poll thru voting, she thanked the people who voted for her but also mocked Hwayoung for getting 0 votes...

[@kaydcove]

She was joking, if you were a t-ara fan during that time you would know that jiyeon and soyeon had a very sarcastic sense of humor

[@yeahyeahyeah3724]

​​@@kaydcoveas I said, I'm not a fan. And even so, that was still pretty mean. Even with close friends, that's an offensive "joke." I have a dark and even sometimes "savage" humour but I wouldn't do that to my close friends. This is my opinion only about the posts I saw but ofc, I still don't know what happened behind close doors.

[@fghjfghjk2192]

its a variety show omg. every idol gets bullied in those.

[@Its_Daniel-hn6gd]

Imagine they let you in with open arms but u pushed those arms away and let your ego cover up all their kindness

[@Its_Daniel-hn6gd]

T-ara endured their suffering for 5 years and finally won, and this scandal opened up again. Like move on, T-ara is already not even in the company anymore.. Kwangsu should protect them while they're still in the Company, their fame would still rise up if gwangsoo said and done something right

[@Its_Daniel-hn6gd]

T-ara is already happy with 6 members, why do the ceo need to add her and let her ruin all their work

[@afikriyadi7488]

Seriously, t-ara havent talk about the scandal since 2016.. i think thats the last time they talked about it.. Its other people who still continue to bring it up.. forget it already.. its been 12 years.. they are fine with their career. No need to keep bringing it up

What a mess

[@KM10HM12]

The members definitely bullied her and tried to bury it by making it look like she was the bad guy and the label helped them. Classic 😢

[@fghjfghjk2192]

nope, south korea bullied those girls

[@GeorginaBas]

Fyi, the members never make her look like she was the " bad guy". The moment when this issue pop up, they are apologetic. It was KKS and Hwayoung that keeps on bringing this sh*t.

[@seikimachan]

Before you accuse Hwayoung as snake, look at yourselves first. What if she was forced to admit and got blackmailed? To clear the entire smoke, Hawyoung must sue the CEO. Also, why does Hwayoung's life looks better than other member's misfortunes especially Jiyeon? Was it karma? I hope not!

[@GeorginaBas]

Well, she's rich, isn't that the reason why she was added to the group.
