Ryu Hyo-young said on the 11th that "We were about 20 years old at the time. My younger brother and I left our hometown and came to Seoul. For our sisters, we thought there was no adult around us to rely on, so we were each other's only support. In that situation, I heard something shocking from my brother," he began.
He continued, "'It's too hard, along with the fact that he is being ostracized by the members of the T-ara.'"', 'I miss you' was the word. The result of trying not to bother my younger brother is my text case. "I thought it was stupid to send that text and I still regret it. I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry. But there was nothing I could do when I was only 20 years old" he appealed.
Also "I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice to let go of his hand and stay still. I think you all know that it was my best, which was young and lacking to protect my precious family."
Earlier on the 9th, MBK Entertainment CEO Kim Kwang-soo mentioned the T-ara bullying incident by appearing on MBN 'Let's Go Go Season 3'. Kim said he terminated Ryu Hwa-young's contract with Ryu Hyo-young and there was no bullying. Ryu Hwa-young then refuted that she was an outcast in the T-ara and suffered from verbal abuse and assault. Since then, the T-ara bullying incident 12 years ago has resurfaced, and the revelations of the time have been re-examined. In particular, let's go and get dusty with the new member Arum, who joined Ryu Hyo-young as the youngest member of T-ara. It also received a lot of attention for sending abusive texts such as 「Wait」,"I'll scratch your face so you can't broadcast it","They (T-ara) need to be hit to get their heads together".
Next, Ryu Hyo-young's full text.
Hello, I'm actor Ryu Hyo Young.
First of all, I'm very sorry for causing concern to many people.
I am posting to tell you the story of my brother's bullying incident and my text message incident.
At that time, we were about 20 years old. My younger brother and I left our hometown and came to Seoul. For our sisters, we thought there was no adult around us to rely on, so we were each other's only support.
In such a situation, I heard a shocking word from my brother. He says he's being ostracized by T-ara members. It's so hard', 'I miss you' was the word. The result of trying not to bother my younger brother is my text case.
I think it was foolish of me to send that text and I still regret it.
I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry.
But when I was only 20, there was nothing I could do. I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice to let go of his hands and stay still. I think you all know that it was my best, which was young and lacking to protect my precious family.
