Former T-ARA member Hwayoung again expresses her position, ”I've decided not to have any expectations”... Former member Areum posts cryptic message on social media

Hwa-young, former member of South Korean girl group T-ARA, has reiterated her position to representative Kim Gun-soo and the members of T-ARA, who have not apologised.

　On the 18th (today), Hwa-young wrote on her channel, "I sincerely apologise for the unintentional fatigue I have recently caused due to the bullying incident in T-ara. Over the past 12 years, my family and I have been subjected to numerous speculations, over-the-top and malicious posts. I could not remain silent any longer and posted a comment, but I have decided not to hold any expectations from representative Kim Gun-soo and the members of ‘T-ARA’, who have not expressed any position to date."

　She continued, "My sister (Ryu Hyo-young) emailed Areum (a former member) because she said she was hurt and heartbroken by a lot of tell-tale diplomacy (talking bad about people around you to isolate someone you don't like) from the members of T-ara and Areum. Her sister emailed Areum, who apologised to her personally a few years ago and they reconciled. However, representative Kim Gun-soo published the content of the sister's email on the programme and used it maliciously. This is fact-finding defamation."

　Hwa-young added "Representative Kim Gansu stood by me even after he found out the fact that I was already being bullied. Everyone refused to be my roommate and the memory of living in the living room with no room is the biggest wound."

　She then added "I'm going to correct T-ara's stylist Kim Woo-ri's 'shampoo remark'. At the time, she slandered me with a story she made up on a variety show in the past, as if she herself knew everything. I had never met or spoken to Kim Woo-ri once, yet he referred to my human nature. This is all a lie and a clear defamation."

　Finally, Hwa-young said "We sisters don't want this any more and we just want to forget about it. We don't know why representative Kim Gang-soo is making this story a public issue again. Even for our sake, we forgive Representative Kim Gang-soo and the members of T-ARA and will try harder. In the future, we will take decisive legal action regarding malicious posts."

　Areum also recently posted comments on her SNS with meaningful content, attracting attention.

　On her Instagram story, Areum wrote "You keep frustrating me with your inability to grasp what's going on. Let's just sputter and forget everything." Areum then deleted all the rest of his posts, except for the comment, the next day, the 18th (today), after posting an emoji in the form of dynamite on fire, continuously on his story.

　Some netizens speculated that Areum might have posted her feelings in relation to the recent T-ARA bullying incident, which has been in the spotlight again.
