Their management wanting to add a 7th member that time still baffles me to this day. They were already a powerhouse with 6 members. All them have great visuals, Soyeon has superb vocals, Eunjung and Hyomin were great on variety shows, and as a whole they're super talented in singing and dancing. Them adding a 7th member who's supposed to be a rapper (when Eunjung, Hyomin, and Boram already are decent rappers) completely messed up the group's chemistry and it became their downfall. Never forget that T-ara is the 2nd biggest girl group in the 2nd gen behind SNSD. Their music show wins, hits, and achievements says it all.

This CEO was so awful at decision making. Should have never added new members and just kept the original 6 T-ARA members. Then when T-ARA scandal happened, never communicated anything with the public and let t-ara get slandered constantly by netizens.

[isei]

We won't ever know what really happened, but the fault lays on company's side. Why did they add new members to already well known and established group? I'm glad that at least they didn't add this young girl Dani.

[woncross]

The fact tht the editor has to put *2024 updated* 😂😂 these never ending drama😂

[Harra]

Honestly, Hwayoung had never really posted these 'proofs' of her version of the story. I really followed T-Ara back then and it was so heartbreaking to watch them slowly but surely go downhill. Everyone has shown their cards at this point of the story, but Hwayoung and her sister still arent posting hard proof. It has always felt like they've held on to the controversy to stay relevant.

[noel_rahman]

If the members have bad behavior, there's no way they can survived until now, cuz tv staff never talk about it, besides, hwayoung cant prove what she said. I know T-ara for a long time, Jiyeon fainted due to busy schedules, Eunjung breaking legs, Soyeon swine flu, only sleep for 2 hours during their gold era, Lord, they're hardworking and nice members, those staffers are fiction too

[jgr]

There are so many unanswered questions with the down fall of T-ara! The CEO is directly responsible for all of it. I’m more upset & interested in why he ousted both Soyeon & Boram and why the remaining 4 never mention them since 2017. The core success of T-ara was with the 6 members with Soyeon’s vocals being the key to most of their best songs.

I will always love T ara . I mean this professionally. I love their voice, their music . I wish they could have worked every thing out . ❤🌹🧸

[ginomadjusvlog]

I love T-ara and I really followed T-Ara back then and it was so heartbreaking to watch them slowly but surely go downhill then I cried when "what's your name" era won their first win again after for long hardship. In my opinion the company or the ceo should to blame because they didn't protect the girls and yes why they always adding new members in an establish and success girl group that time. Anyway I hope they can move on to this. It's been so long. I hope the OG 6 will reuinite once more.

Why is no one blaming the CEO? Why even add new members to an already established and successful group to begin with. Clearly the older members had resentment to the new ones and felt that they did not go through the same hardships as they did before. At the same time the newer members were clearly ostracized and most likely were bullied maybe verbally and emotionally by the older members. In a way everybody was at fault here but especially the CEO and the company for creating this toxic environment.

[yogiesanba]

1, the company made big mistake by adding the 7 member
2, that new member is a dangerous snake
3. Company did nothing to protect original member being bullied by netizen and even the rude staff's of big even
4. That snake keep playing victim

[noel_rahman]

She even didnt show the proof, just bluffing. Areum is crazy, I know T-ara for a long time, the members really nice and humble

[farah_felice]

It’s the end of 2024 and the scandal is STILL being brought up. Poor T-ara. They should be happily celebrating their 15th anniversary like 2NE1. But alas…

[BillyWhaler]

So Hwayoung created friction. The other girls ganged up on her. And Hwayoung countered. The end.

[Its_Daniel-hngd]

T-ara endured their suffering for 5 years and finally won, and this scandal opened up again. Like move on, T-ara is already not even in the company anymore.. Kwangsu should protect them while they're still in the Company, their fame would still rise up if gwangsoo said and done something right

[kingkanyon]

This why I support New Jeans, a CEO at any time can kick you out of a group or company but these same companies will hold people hostage and find ways to Black list you…. That they signed a contract never holds up when it’s the company

[gustavxxxxxx]

The only one to blame is the company. Adding a member on a group that didn’t needed a new one was definitely the worst choice they could made.

I understand T-ARA’s allegedly disappointment in Hwayoung entering the group, because they are from a small company and had to work very hard to achieve success. I’d also not want to share it with a newcomer that got only the good part of it; Hwayoung entered after they had massive hits like TTL and I Go Crazy Because of You, it wasn’t fair to the other six and she also didn’t had much to add. I’ll forever stand with T-ARA

[gabriellapietrakowski]

All I have to say is, hon where is your proof. Where are the texts, photos, emails, etc? There are texts of her being mean, the famous photo of her being help, in a wheelchair and walking normally all in the same setting, clothes, time.

[bingb]

Lovely dovey oh oh oh, rolly Polly rolly rolly poly 👯‍♀️🕺💃

[makixto]

T-ara was my childhood, adding Hwayoung does sit fine with me coz I think they are trying to do something like Akb48 adding members while the og members graduated since I can see 4 of them can easily do solo activities during those time, and Hwayoung's rap is no joke, but adding ahreum afterwards the planning to add dani that was a little off to me since it should be like we are trying to build a 9 membered girl grp
