http://www.allkpop.com/2012/04/op-ed-is-t-aras-member-change-a-way-for-kim-kwang-soo-to-punish-t-ara

Check out his official statement below.

“In July, T-ara will release and promote a new album with new members. They’ll change how they are, to fit the 9 of them together… A lot of fans are worried and concerned for the changes happening to T-ara, but our management knows very well what can happen if the changes aren’t made. T-ara will be in a situation where there will be very intense competition, and we don’t want to think that they’ll not be able to grow. T-ara went through a lot of hard practice to debut as idols. They need to continue to constantly work harder and take on new challenges.”

Kim Kwang Soo also wanted to emphasize, “T-ara’s controversies including greeting problems, stage attitude problems, etc.. as T-ara’s CEO, I’m sorry to the fans. Core Contents Media’s staff and T-ara are working very hard to make sure to avoid all controversies.”

“If the members are lazy, or harmful to other members including the new members, we’ll make the bold decision to remove and replace them with new members.”
 
Honestly, do people even know what bullying is? More like a really cloudy ass shade, girls are dramatic like that. I'm going to justify this shade throwing because Boram has been getting punked for the longest--demoted as a leader and only given two words a song. She don't give a rat's ass about the group from her sloppy ass performances and I bet she'd get out if she was for certain going solo wouldn't be a flop and KKS and/or Hyomin was kicking her ass threatening her to stay for whatever reason.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT. She looks like death while Hyomin is lighting up the room with her smile.

Unpopular opinion, Tara will recover from this because CCM can brush anything under the carpet. They've recover from so much foolery and fuckery, I think they can bounce back. Lord I will laugh so hard if they bounce back from this. CCM has always been shady as hell.

Keep drinking that CCM kool-aid then :p

Everyone else (including the vast majority of T-aras fans) side with her. Regardless of the bully allegations being true or not, her contract being terminated is big news and one that will be difficult to recover from (if at all)

Ledge just pointed out how rapidly Hwayoung's follower count is rising. I don't know what it was before but sure as hell wasn't near 140k

I'm not even a Tara fan so I guess I am sipping a bit too much CCM drank.

Another unpopular opinion, I'm starting to love Tara more because of all their drama.

In an ideal world Bom will go solo with her annoying voice, Hwayoung will join 2NE1 and then Minzy can finally use her vastly superior voice to takeover from Bom's position.

Hwayoung is trending #4 in the world, CCM is #7.

KKS said:
I believe in T-ara’s group life, if one person is good or if one person acts in a different manner, the team’s color will change and the members themselves will shake.

I will once again repeat that the bullying and discord rumors in T-ara is not true.

When T-ara first debuted, they had a lot of difficulties with many bullying rumors including ones with Eunjung, Soyeon, and Boram. However, these were cases of jealousy of young people that were small fights that did not last longer a day, and they made up quickly.

About 230 staff moved together for this concert. The ‘difference in determination’ that T-ara members talked about is not talking about the ability to stand on or off the stage.

If one of them sloppy, or careless, or only thinks about herself, the concert will have no choice but to rust. That concert would look fancy only on the outside, but would only become a concert for publicity. The members mentioned determination meaning that all stars and staff much work with determination.

The most important thing for the staff and the singers is health.

This is because the body must be healthy and in good condition to look good on stage.

Eunjung slipped on icy roads and had her ligaments torn, and Jiyeon also hurt her leg during a drama filming and had to get a cast. Also, Jiyeon crashed into the top of a light during the Osaka Concert during the Japan Tour, and her nose was cracked. The hospital requested an emergency surgery and the company representatives and concert staff was very against her standing on stage, but Jiyeon did not bend her will on wanting to stand on stage. She finished the concert, returned to Korea, obtained surgery and was hospitalized for 3 days after.

The reason why Hwayoung did not go on stage this concert after she hurt her leg was for the sake of protecting the star. She wanted to go on stage, but all staff and T-ara members dissuaded her, and Hwayoung attended only the ‘DAY BY DAY’ stage according to her wishes.

Therefore, the ‘difference in determination’ that T-ara talked about was not talking about being able to stand on the concert stage or not.

Countless staff and managers silently run behind the stars even with a low wage. Even with a low pay, they give up on sleep, are on call 24 hours, and check makeup and outfits backstage. The reason why the staff works to create a good look for the stars is because they work with the goal to create a star that can become the top.

Also, most staff, including the on-site manager, live together with about 3-7 people in small houses or dorms.

If those staff cry and are in pain because of certain celebrities, have doubts about their work and even move companies, then the T-ara that gives laughter and happiness to many people would become a T-ara that has a fake mask only in front of the masses.

T-ara lives on the popularity from the public, and believes that teamwork is more important than the individual 8-member T-ara, and so respected the opinions of 19 staff. This is a conclusion that I came to because I believe that there should no longer be staff who face hardship.

I also thought for a long time if this was the right way. I know that this is an incredible pain, but I decided this for T-ara’s future and for their continual. I convinced the T-ara members with the staff until today morning at 7 AM.

Once again, the discord and bullying rumors from the T-ara members against Hwayoung is nonexistant and is not true.

Before, I have stated that as T-ara changed from a 7 member to 9 member system, if there is a member who does not work hard or gives harm to the others, T-ara would face a member change or increase.

If T-ara thought about themselves as a star first and worked carelessly, they would become an empty group with just a name. Because of this, I believe they should always be modest, hard working people who have basic manners.

I believe that is the only way T-ara could go over Korea and become a Hallyu T-ara.

Because Hwayoung is a rapper with much potential, CCM has decided to terminate her contract without conditions, and we believe she can become a growing singer at a good place as a free singer.

I am very sorry and that everyone who loves T-ara has been worried because of many reasons, and I have nothing to say except that I am sorry that I have a disappointing and shameful announcement at T-ara’s 3rd year since debut.

Also, the CCM staff and I apologize to the T-ara members because we could not honor their opinion about finding a way to be with Hwayoung, and we cannot take our minds away from the staff who work hard everywhere.

Lastly, I am very sorry to the T-ara members, and I hope Hwayoung will become a great rapper.

I can't say I'm surprised at the outcome. I don't think CCM had much of a choice but to make up some ridiculous excuse to remove Hwayoung.

CCM has to protect what is essentially their only big act in T-ARA.

Those staff members better hope their names don't get out in public.
 
Lol just heard about this from my friend... RIP T-ara.

I honestly don't think they can recover from this, scandals such as Jiyeon's stripping on chatroulette and the nip slip can easily be swept under the rug because it doesn't affect a lot of things, but this... well just look at DBSK, JYJ, and 2PM. All the people involved are experiencing little success, to the point that one could say they aren't really relevant anymore. It sucks for those new members, they haven't even gotten a chance to fully embrace their careers but it's over.

Just another reason to include twitter and facebook courses to your media training for idols/celebs.

If T-ara continues their promotions still. LOL

My fav part of the CCM statement is when they say a stars health is important but then go on to say that even tho Eunjung tore ligaments and Jiyeon cracked her nose they still performed? LOL make up your minds.
 
I have no particular attachment to the group
other than my crush on Jiyeon
but for some reason I am curious on what will win here, the fans opinions, or the companies PR spin.

Based on Twitter, here, Allkpop, Youtube and facebook. T-ara are screwed. Fans are siding hardcore with Hwayoung.
