ok, so I've barely ever listened to T-ara music. But this one time I listened to one of their songs and I was like "ooh ok pretty average," in 2016. I didn't know abt their scandal or anything. T-ara debuted in 2009, they were a seven member group and become extremely popular. One of their songs was the 1st kpop song to reach 10 million views on yt. Wow! Oneday,Hwayoung injured her ankle by twisting it. When they traveled to japan, Hwayoung only sang one song bc of her ankle. "Get well soon, Hwayoung!" was the only thing that fans could say. But a few days later two members of T-ara posted something on twitter which seemed to question Hwayoung. This confused fans a lot. What had happened??? Ppl started thinking that T-ara was bullying Hwayoung and slowly ppl started liking other groups and fan numbers starting trickling away as boycotts started. After a couple more incidents of “bullying” Hwayoung was gone. The entertainment Removed her. Wait… but didn’t Hwayoung get bullied? Shouldn’t the members who bullied her get removed? Five years later in 2017… Hwayoung and her sister Hyoyoung opened up what happened in 2017. She said she cried a lot and she was disappointed by what had happened. She also said she lost weight. Obvi everybody felt bad for her. I would too, but then a former staff member told the whole truth to Twitter. She said Hwayoung and Hyoyoung were lying! The truth was not the way Hwayoung was saying it. She also showed messages between a member of T-ara, aroeum and Hyoyoung, Hyoyoung was threatening her!! The messages proved to be real and now everybody was surprised. Wait wasn’t Hwayoung the victim??? And remember poor Hwayoungs ankle? Well, nothing bad happened to it. Apparently, Hwayoung asked the doctor to give her a cast and a wheelchair in the airport where she knew fans and the media would be there. She lied!! Hyoyoung was protected by her label who said she was supporting her sister bc she was angry at areom at bullying her younger sister. But areom spoke out agreeing that the messages were true and in fact Hwayoung was bullying them, not the other way around. Finally the manager spoke out saying Hwayoung was the real bully. Other truths came out as well like Hwayoung disrespected her staff. Nobody felt bad for Hwayoung now. But Tara is no longer listened to like it was before and it lost a lot of fans due to the scandal. Sadly, there are only four members left and their music is not like before. That’s all for today, byeeee!
