In the music industry, bullying within girl idol groups has become a serious social issue.
T-ARA, AOA in 2020, and April in 2021 were all embroiled in allegations of bullying within their groups.
However, just as the bullying issue within the group was gradually calming down,
The bullying allegations against T-ara have become an issue. After 12 years, the truth battle has resumed.
Kim Gwangsoo, CEO of the agency that represents T-ARA, appeared on the show and revisited the T-ARA bullying incident from 12 years ago.
The representative said, "During the 2012 Japan tour, Hwayeong injured his ankle and had to withdraw from the group.
The band decided to practice again to adjust to the new movement patterns. The members wanted an apology from Hwayeong. They decided to return to Korea to speak, but the messages they had given up until then were not accepted.
"The exchanges between the members were made public, and rumors of a rift between them started to emerge," he said. "We have terminated the contracts of Hwayeong and Hyo Yeon and released them without any conditions, so they can continue working at the agency.
"I said I was going to have to go to the gym," and the allegations of bullying against T-ara were brought into the spotlight once again.
I apologized to the members many times. It is true that I was assaulted and bullied by the members of T-ara. I left the group without even receiving an apology, and I have not spoken about it for 12 years.
The RA members said on many variety shows that they had never bullied me, and I cried in helplessness."
None of the T-ARA members have responded to this.
The battle for the truth has now resumed, and for the first time in 12 years, internet users are voicing both positive and negative opinions about the allegations of bullying within the group.
The bullying issue within girl groups has been going on for a long time.
There was a clash of opinions, with member Kwon Mina claiming that she had been bullied by Jimin, leading to Jimin leaving the group. However, Kwon Mina continued to insist that Jimin was bullying her.
The same goes for APRIL. Former member Lee Hyun-joo revealed that she was bullied after leaving the group, and was in hot water over the matter.
Loop has since disbanded. Lee Naeun has turned to acting, but many people are opposed to her activities due to the continued bullying allegations. Thus, the truth about bullying within girl groups is being debated.
The debate continues unabated, with internet users engaged in a heated debate.
