From Hwayoung (former T-ARA member)'s "12 years of patience"
ファヨン（元T-ARA）の”１２年間の我慢”から
T-ARA "10 years ago suspicion" resurfaces, Hwayoung "Bullying, fact... I endured assault and verbal abuse"
Hwayoung: For 12 years, I have lived as a party to the incident without responding to various rumors. - Hwayoung is who she is today because of T-ARA, so I have kept silent even though I have various traumas and regrets. - However, since I do not understand the true intention of the biased and distorted remarks made about the incident 12 years ago, I believe that the wrong parts must be corrected, so I will tell you the truth. - First, the bullying is true.
Reading the long message uploaded, I feel sympathy for Hwayoung, who endured such bullying and kept silent for 12 years.
She probably had no choice but to do so in order to continue working in the entertainment industry, which is not very large.
I remember that a sister or cousin was also involved in the entertainment industry. There may have been an element of avoiding influence.
I was into T-ARA's music at the time.
I believe that there was certainly bullying in the scandal, but I turned a blind eye to it, thinking it was not a problem that fans could do anything about.
Looking back carefully, it seems that T-ARA has not been able to continue their activities smoothly up until now.
Their activities were frequently posted on entertainment-related sites, and they often appeared on music shows on terrestrial, internet, and cable TV.
However, I recall that they did not have any notable hit songs compared to when Hwayoung was there.
Looking at the fact that they left Korea and traveled to China a lot, the group's popularity may have lacked excitement, even though they had well-known members such as Jiyeon, Eunjung, and Soyeon.
In fact, the solo debuts of Eunjung and Hyomin ended with disastrous results.
Considering the constant change in the member makeup and numbers, it might be said that T-ARA continued to pay the price for kicking Hwayoung out in terms of activities.
When T-ARA first appeared, they were a girl group that exuded glamour and purity, as well as the impression of idol elites.
However, they stumbled over Hwayoung's bullying scandal, and their purity did not become the clear blue of the sky.
I think it was the fans' vague distrust of T-ARA that created this cloudiness.
In other words, perhaps somewhere in the members' hearts they continued to carry the trauma (guilt) of kicking Hwayoung out.
Although Hwayoung was kicked out for "bullying," it could be said that she won after 12 years of "endurance."
