On the 11th, Ryu Hyo-young opened her mouth on her SNS about the alleged bullying of T-ara surrounding her younger brother Hwayoung and threatening texts sent to Arum.
Ryu Hyo-young said, "We were 20 years old at the time. My younger brother and I left our hometown and came to Seoul, so we thought there was no adult to rely on, so we were the only support for each other"I let off the rhyme.
Then "I heard a shocking word from my younger brother in such a situation. He says he's being ostracized by T-ara members. It's so hard', 'I miss you' was the word. He explained, "The result of trying not to bother my younger brother is a text incident."
He said, `I think it was foolish of him 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. I still regret it. I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry.'
Finally, Ryu Hyo-young said "There was nothing I could do when I was 20 years old. I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice to let go of his hands and stay still. It is my best, which was young and lacking to protect my precious family."
Earlier on the 9th, CEO Kim Kwang-soo mentioned T-ara's bullying incident by appearing on MBN 'Let's Go Go Season 3'. In 2012, controversy over bullying erupted when the discord between existing members of T-ara and new member Ryu Hwa-young became known. T-ara, which was at the top of its popularity at the time, was hit hard by the controversy.
Referring to this, CEO Kim Kwang-soo said "A friend named Hwa-young sprained his leg while doing a music program. I told them to perform without Hwayoung, but the other members practiced 20 songs all night to fill the vacancy"When I went to the concert hall the next day, Hwayoung sang a song on stage. When I complimented him well, I remembered that other members were having a hard time, and they told me to apologize to (Hwayoung)."
In response, CEO Kim Kwang-soo promised to apologize to Hwayoung, but as soon as he came to Korea, a bullying incident broke out, and he said, `I told you to do your job because I will tear up Hwayoung and Hyoyoung's contract and release it unconditionally.' "(T-ara members) did not do anything wrong, so I pushed ahead with the broadcast, but Kim Kwang-soo said, "How strong do you have to do that?"
After the broadcast was released, Hwa-young also spoke as the T-ara bullying incident emerged again. Huayoung said, `I don't know what I meant by making biased and distorted remarks about events 12 years ago"The content that was criticized was actually", he said, adding that he was verbally abused and assaulted by members of the T-ara. Hwayoung said "At the time of the termination of the T-ara contract, I had a lot of data to prove bullying, so I tried to express my position through a press conference, but CEO Kim Kwang-soo suggested that my sister, who was in the same agency at the time, would also terminate the contract if I kept quiet without a press conference."Since then, the T-ara members have appeared on various entertainment shows and said they have never bullied them," he said, expressing his unfairness, saying, "They have ended the bullying case on their own with a statement that is different from the facts."
On the other hand, the revelation that sisters Ryu Hwa-young and Ryu Hyo-young threatened Arum, who had joined as new members, drew attention once again. In 2017, when Ryu Hwa-young and Ryu Hyo-young appeared on an entertainment program and shed tears, saying they were victims of bullying, a netizen who identified as a former T-ara staff released a threat message sent by Ryu Hyo-young to Arum, who joined the group as the youngest member of T-ara. According to this, Ryu Hyo-young goes to Arum "'Music Bank' and gets dusty. He apologized after sending abusive texts such as "Waiting", "I'll scratch your face so you can't broadcast it", "They (T-ara) should be hit to get their act together".
Hereinafter, the full text of Ryu Hyo-young
Hello, I'm actress 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.
