Kim Kwang-soo appeared on season 3 of MBN Real Variety 'Let's Go GO', which aired on the 9th, and revealed the whole story of the T-ara bullying incident.
On this day, Kim Kwang-soo said, `It's all revealed now, but a friend named Hwayoung folded his leg while doing a music program at the time. The next day, I went to Japan for a concert, and many reporters came to the airport, but I came on crutches. When I asked the manager 'Did you hurt your leg a lot?' he explained the situation at the time'The doctor said that the ligament was a little surprised, but it wasn't broken'.
Kim Kwang-soo said " (I got hurt) so I told him to perform without Hwayoung." But don't singers also have a line of movement. "The other members practiced twenty songs all night to fill the vacancy of Hwayoung." "I went to the concert hall the next day and was so surprised to see Hwayoung sing a song on stage, but after it was over, the boss told me not to upload it, and it was cool on stage." I complimented him by saying, 'Well done.' Then the other T-ara members said 'Boss, we were having a hard time' I'm asking Hwayoung to apologize (for affecting the team's activities)."

Kim Kwang-soo "I was so angry and amazed. So I decided to make a big announcement. It's my first time talking on the show, but I ripped it because I asked Hwayoung and Hyoyoung to bring a contract. 'Get out. I said, 'I'll release it without any conditions, so do your job.'" After the incident, the sisters Hwayoung and Hyo Young's contract was terminated, he said.
However, he said that the announcement of the termination of the contract rather raised rumors of bullying "What kind of will was spread on the Internet, and the parents of T-ara members came to see the article. I'm asking you to have a press conference and reveal all your messages."
The parents of T-ara members said they wanted to disclose everything because they felt unfair that the victim had become a perpetrator, but Kim Kwang-soo confessed that he was worried because Hwayoung was still young, saying, `Then I wondered what the lives of those friends (Hwayoung, Hyoyoung) would be like.'
However, Kim Kwang-soo, who said he was going to the abyss due to this incident, said, "(I think the T-ara members) were not at fault, so they pushed ahead with the broadcast. But the public is asking how much power Kim Kwang-soo has to do that. I thought I could be blamed. So to the members of the tiara 'You can't measure forever if you stop here. I said, 'You guys have to go because I'll hug you all.'"
Kim Kwang-soo, who even shed tears saying he was sorry to the T-ara members, said, `I should have held it in a little bit.' `T-ara members say it's okay, but how much tears will they cry. In my 40 years of entertainment, I feel sorry for them the most. If I hadn't, T-ara would have been in its prime, but I wonder if one person's judgment ruined children's lives.

Hwayoung, who claimed that he was bullied by T-ara members, said, "It is false that I was not bullied during the T-ara period, but that I was 'victim cosplay'." As a new T-ara member, I tried to merge with the member with the compulsion not to harm existing members." However, existing T-ara members used a lot of abusive language against me along with assault. The reason I endured was because I thought I would get better if I worked harder.'
He also apologized to the members several times at the time of the ankle injury (in connection with not being on stage), and for receiving nail care at a hotel after being injured, T-ara usually called on a nail care business trip to the hotel for management. I was also in the same vein as receiving nail care." He said, "'It is an unprovoked insult to me that I broke my nail and talked about the fact that I had been corrected before the stage as if I had received nail care with my own satisfaction.'

Hwayoung complained that `Since then, the members of the T-ara have never been bullied on various entertainment shows, and that they have closed the bullying case on their own by expressing their position different from the facts.' What on earth was my intention to make a completely distorted remark by mentioning the story 12 years ago on the air and mentioning the real name?"
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.
