T-ara Talks about Hwa Young and Explains What Happened

T-ara recently opened up on TV about the issue that has continued to plague the group since last year - the outcast controversy with former member Hwa Young.

The T-ara unit T-ara N4 appeared on the May 6 broadcast of The Beatles Code 2 to talk about what happened back then.

Eun Jung said, "The members had fought. We usually make up after fighting, but we were wrong to bring it out before the public."

In July 2012, T-ara sparked outcast rumors and controversy when the members seemingly criticized Hwa Young on Twitter for missing a Budokan concert due to an injury.

Eun Jung added, "Even we became convinced [we had made her an outcast] after seeing the videos that were supposed to be proof. We definitely had good times together too, and it hurt us to watch the edited videos. I had never been embarrassed of who I am, but [after that] it felt like I had become an evil person."

Ji Yeon also gave an explanation to the video from Japan that was the biggest issue on the web. She said about the video, which showed Eun Jung forcing rice cakes into Hwa Young′s mouth, "The producer told us to do so to make the show more fun."

T-ara N4 is currently promoting its new single Countryside Diaries.

T-ara N4 to Talk About Ex-Member Hwayoung Incident

On May 6, T-ara unit group T-ara N4 will seek to address some of the supposed grievances surrounding the treatment of ex-member Hwayoung on Mnet‘s “Beatles Code 2.” 

On May 3, a preview clip of the upcoming broadcast was shown where the MC asked T-ara N4 members, “Do you have anything to say regarding the shock the public received when they heard about Hwayoung’s mistreatment and isolation?” In response, the girls couldn’t hold their tears as they began to speak on the matter that had plagued female idol group T-ara for the past year. 

Eunjung began, “To be honest, we wanted to say something about it. We never knew that Hwayoung was going to be dropped from the group. It really pains us that she had to go through that.” Hyomin added, “This is not a case where a member was bullied and mistreated.”

Fans will have a chance to hear it from the girls’ point of view and perhaps forgive the company for handling the departure of ex-member Hwayoung from the group so poorly. Perhaps such unfortunate incidents can be avoided in the future with better communication between parties and a second chance for idols to cement their rightfully earned spot in a group.

In related news, T-ara N4 released their track “Countryside Diaries” on April 29.
