”Bullying rumors resurface after 12 years” ”T-ARA” ends up with no ”apology”... Hwayeong: ”I have no expectations” → ARUM: ”It just remains as a scar”

As the bullying case involving the group T-ARA has once again attracted attention due to the comments made by producer Kim Gwangsoo, people related to the case are speaking out for the first time in about 12 years.
Recently, Kim Gwangsoo, the producer who produced T-ara, appeared on MBN variety show "Let's Go" Season 3 and spoke about the "T-ara bullying incident."
On the same day, producer Kim Gwangsoo said that after the T-ara bullying incident was revealed, the contract between former member Hwayeong and his sister, actor Ryu Hyo Yeon, was cancelled.
He said that he broke the contract and terminated the contract without any conditions, and that he did not think that the T-ara members were at fault. In 2012, Hwayeong was unable to perform at a Japanese concert due to a leg injury.
In response, allegations of bullying of Hwayeong within T-ARA were raised, and Hwayeong subsequently posted "T-ARA"
About 12 years later, the bullying incident at T-ara was brought back to the spotlight due to producer Kim Gwangsoo's comments, and on the 10th, Hwayeong
Hwayeong spoke out directly through social media. He revealed that it was true that he had been bullied by existing members. He also said, "When I was released from my contract with T-ARA, I was not aware of the bullying.
I had a lot of evidence to prove my position, so I tried to express my position through a press conference, but Kim Gwangsoo, who was in the same office at the time, said that if I kept quiet without a press conference,
"Hwayeong also revealed that the members of T-ara have been bullied on various variety shows.
"At the time of the incident, threatening emails were sent to ARUM, a member who had joined T-ARA, and the matter was resolved between the two parties alone," the statement said.
Hwayeong's sister Ryu Hyo Yeon, who was also involved in the incident, also said on the 11th, "My sister told me a shocking story about how she was being bullied by the T-ara members. I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."
"The result of my attempt was the email incident. It was foolish of me to send that email, and I still regret it," he said in his apology.
However, the members of T-ARA, who were named as the perpetrators, remained silent.
On the 18th, Hwayeong said, "After posting a statement on social media last week, I am waiting for a sincere apology from them more than anything. However, they have not made any statement so far.
"I have decided not to place any expectations on CEO Kim Gwangsoo or the T-ara members who are not with us at the moment."
ARUM, who was also mentioned in relation to the incident, also said on the same day, "I
When I joined the group during their promotional days, I was busy learning and adapting to the many songs that T-ara already had, and I was busy trying to keep up with the mood of everyone around me," he said at the time.
She confessed that it was hard for her to accept the bullying incident. ARUM said, "Hwayeong unnie was especially concerned about me, so I was always grateful and followed her."
"However, after the injury incident and what happened between my sisters, I was busy checking in on what was going on and there was no one to turn to," she said.
ARUM also revealed, "For me, T-ara has only left a scar," and added, "The people involved also suffered from my immature actions when I was young.
I feel very sorry and regretful, and I think it's been very difficult for you. However, there are probably some people who have it a little harder," he said calmly.
Thus, it is said that Hwayeong, who had been waiting for a belated apology from the T-ARA members, has given up on that expectation.
It remains to be seen whether the members of T-ARA will maintain their silence in the face of continuing allegations.
