Hwayoung said on the 10th "First of all, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Yesterday, I watched a TV show in which Kim Kwang-soo, the former CEO of the agency, spoke about the T-ara bullying incident through a variety show, and I thought about it a hundred or a thousand times, and I wrote a long story.
Huayoung blamed himself a lot for the 2012 `T-ara bullying' scandal, saying, `As a party, I was wrong and blamed myself a lot for various social controversies and the dissolution of the group T-ara, which was the basis of you"I always felt sorry for all the fans who loved T-ara and for the members who broke up with the word bullying and discord." he said.
"It is true that for 12 years, I have been living with scarlet letters and not responding to various rumors as a party to the 'T-ara bullying' incident," he said. "Although it was a noisy breakup, there were many traumas and unfair parts because of T-ara, so I kept silent even though there were many trauma and unfair parts."He confessed.
"However, I will tell you my truth with difficulty because I do not know my intention to correct the wrong parts because I do not understand the biased and distorted remarks made by CEO Kim Kwang-soo during his appearance on an entertainment show."
Huayoung claimed that it was true that T-ara members bullied him, and that they also used assault and verbal abuse, `The reason I endured it was because I thought it would get better if I worked harder.' He also apologized to the members several times for not being able to stand on stage at the time for the ankle injury before the controversial Japanese concert.
Regarding what the T-ara members mentioned 'nail care', "T-ara used to call a nail care business trip to a hotel for management every time she worked in Japan. "It's in the same context that I got my nails done," he said. "It feels like an unprovoked insult to me to say that I got my nails fixed before the stage with my own satisfaction."

"Since then, the members of the T-ara have been on various entertainment shows and have never bullied them," he said, ending the bullying incident on his own. My parents and I, who were watching the broadcast, shed tears at the helplessness of being unable to do anything. "I want to sincerely ask CEO Kim Kwang-soo. What on earth was my intention to make a completely distorted remark by mentioning the story 12 years ago on the air, even mentioning the real name?"
Finally "I am currently alone without an agency. I also know that I can't fight with an influential CEO consistently in the entertainment industry for more than 40 years. Nevertheless, I can tell you this because I am confident that I can reveal the facts at the time."

Hello
I'm Hwayoung, a member of T-ara.
First of all, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Yesterday, I watched a TV show where my former agency CEO Kim Kwang-soo spoke about the T-ara bullying incident through an entertainment program, and I thought about it a hundred or a thousand times and wrote it with difficulty.
As a party to the so-called `T-ara bullying' incident in 2012, I blamed myself a lot, regardless of my mistakes, seeing the dismantling of the group 'T-ara', which caused various social controversies and was the basis of me. I always felt sorry for all the fans who loved T-ara and even for the members who broke up with the word bullying and discord.
It is also true that for 12 years I have lived in scarlet letters as a party to the `Tiaras Bullying' case and have not responded to various rumors. Although it was a noisy breakup, there was T-ara, so I kept silent even though there were many traumas and unfair parts.
However, I don't know my intention to make biased and distorted remarks about the incident 12 years ago after listening to CEO Kim Kwang-soo's remarks on an entertainment show, so I will tell you the truth with difficulty because I think I need to correct the wrong parts.
First, it is true that I was bullied. It's false that I did a so-called 'victim cosplay' when I wasn't bullied during my T-ara days. As a new member of T-ara, I tried to merge with the members with the obsession of not causing any damage to the existing members. However, the existing members of the tiara have assaulted me and used a lot of abusive language. The reason I endured it was because I thought it would get better if I worked harder.
Second. I apologized to the members several times after I got an ankle injury.
Even when I couldn't stand on the Japanese stage due to a sprained ankle, I asked the director to let me sing at least one song. Because I felt sorry for the members who must have suffered many times because of me, so I thought I should sing at least one song.
Third, it's true that I got my nails done at the hotel. However, T-ara used to call a nail care business trip to the hotel for management whenever she was active in Japan. It is in the same vein that I received nail care. It feels like an unprovoked insult to me to say that I had my nails corrected before the stage because of my broken nails, as if I had received nail care with my own satisfaction.
When the T-ara contract was terminated, I tried to express my position through a press conference because I had a lot of data to prove bullying, but CEO Kim Kwang-soo offered to terminate my contract with my sister who was at the same agency at the time if she kept quiet without a press conference. When I was just 20 years old, I thought it was for the best. In the end, he left without an apology, and so far, he has been silent for 12 years.
Since then, the T-ara members have stopped the bullying incident by themselves by expressing their position different from the facts, saying they have never been bullied on various entertainment shows. My parents and I, who were watching the show, wept at the helplessness of not being able to do anything.
I would like to sincerely ask CEO Kim Kwang-soo. What on earth is my intention to make a completely distorted statement by mentioning the real name on the show after 12 years?
I am currently alone without an agency. I also know that you can't fight with an influential CEO consistently in the entertainment industry for over 40 years. Nevertheless, I can tell you this because I am confident that I can reveal the facts at that time.
