On the other hand, some viewers commented, “I think the viewers are being too harsh when there is no real proof about bullying,” and “I think it was hard for them to edit it because they had already filmed it a while ago.”
Meanwhile, T-ara was also criticized for not being edited out on the August 4th episode of MBC‘s ‘Quiz to Change the World‘.

Recent unedited broadcast of T-ara on variety show sets off negative reactions
The appearance of the members of T-ara on ‘Quiz to Change the World‘ has set off a firestorm of public protest.
On the broadcast of the MBC variety program on the 4th, netizens were shocked to find that T-ara was not edited out of the program. The girls filmed this episode before the bullying scandal made headlines and the episode had been gaining much interest from viewers even before its air date, with questions about how the episode would be edited.
However, the questions were answered in a way some netizens found unacceptable. Eunjung, Jiyeon and new member Ahreum‘s portions were aired with no particular signs of having been filtered. The members of the girl group could be seen engaging in conversation with other guests and smiling brightly.
T-ara demonstrated the choreography for their title song ‘DAY BY DAY‘ while new member Ahreum even got the chance to dance for a ‘Dance Initiation‘. Furthermore, the girls spoke about their overseas promotions as well on the episode.
The girl group has been the center of all entertainment news for the past several days as a result of the controversy surrounding the bulling of now ex-member Hwayoung. However, Core Contents Media denied the reports stating, “The assertions made about bullying are false” and eventually Hwayoung’s contract with the group was terminated. As a result of the scandal, T-ara has decided to temporarily put a halt to their activities.
After the chain of messy events occured, T-ara’s fans turned their backs on the group and created ‘T-Jinyo‘, demanding the truth from T-ara and CCM president Kim Kwang Soo. Although the agency tried to justify the situation, fans and netizens are enraged by the fact that the bullying issue got out of hand in the first place, but also because the agency has yet to simply apologize for and acknowledge that the bullying did in fact occur.
Immediately after the episode of ‘Quiz to Change the World’ aired, comments of protest have flooded the internet. The majority of the comments criticize the production team.
A few examples of the comments were, “How could you let T-ara air on television?“, “The production staff needs to apologize immediately“, “What is going on? What do you mean T-ara was on the broadcast?“, “It seems as if the production crew is very brazen“, “What are you thinking? To think nothing at all was edited“, and more. Some comments went on to denounce MBC as a whole.
As of right now, the ‘Quiz to Change the World’ production team has yet to make a statement about the controversial broadcast. All are waiting to see what kind of justification they will make about the situation.

T-ara’s Jiyeon appears on variety show for first time after scandal
T-ara‘s Jiyeon made an appearance on the August 4th broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Quiz to Change the World‘, capturing the attention of many viewers.
Despite the recent controversies surrounding T-ara’s scandal, Jiyeon seemed indifferent as she displayed a bright and cheerful attitude throughout the show.
Specifically, as singer Mun Ja Ran showed off her aegyo doing the famous “bbuing bbuing“, MC Lee Hwee Jae asked Jiyeon to assist Ja Ran with her aegyo. Jiyeon happily complied as she put her fists next to her cheeks and chanted “bbuing bbuing” and melted the hearts of the other guests.

T-ara’s Hwayoung was responsible for Jiyeon’s ‘bad attitude’?
After Core Contents Media CEO Kim Kwang Soo announced that T-ara member Hwayoung had acted in an ‘unacceptable’ manner on a number of occasions, an incident that took place between Hwayoung and Jiyeon has also been revealed.
According to an industry insider, there was an incident that took place back in 2010 where Hwayoung did not oblige with T-ara’s manager who asked the girls to prepare for their stage performance.
This brewed some quarrel amongst the girls, and Hyomin who grew tired of her attitude gave Hwayoung a piece of her mind, but Hwayoung reportedly refused to listen to Hyomin as well. Fellow member Jiyeon who was observing the situation also stepped up to say something to Hwayoung, causing the two to begin arguing. Following the fight with Hwayoung, Jiyeon was then unable to properly focus on stage, and the way the camera captured Jiyeon made it seem as though she had an attitude problem.
Meanwhile, CCM reported that Hwayoung refused to participate in T-ara’s July 27th ‘Music Bank’ stage, with only two groups before them left to go. On the way home, Hwayoung, in front of fans and reporters, threw down her crutches and sat on the floor, threatening to yell at the managers in public.

T-ara’s former back-up dancer claims Jiyeon once slapped Hwayoung
Among the many that are stepping forward to offer some more insight on the T-ara controversy, is a netizen who claims to be a former T-ara back-up dancer.
The post is going viral online, and in it, the dancer describes in detail of a time Jiyeon had slapped Hwayoung across the face.
It reads:
“I am a member of Hot Chicks, an exclusive dance team for T-ara, and am also working with Davichi, KARA, Brown Eyed Girls, Rainbow Pixie, and more.
It was around the time the Japanese concert took place. We were getting big with our “Lovey Dovey” shuffle dance after Hwayoung was admitted, and getting ready to perform “Roly Poly” for our year-end performance.
During one of the rehearsals, it was a situation where Kwang Soo had jam-packed our schedules, so both the dancers and the members of T-ara who had just completed their day’s work were extremely sensitive and on edge.
Still, everyone was mustering up their last bit of strength and practicing, when Hwayoung messed up a little bit of the choreography.
Seeing this, Jiyeon and Soyeon then sarcastically scoffed at her, saying, ‘Since you already decided to join, you should maybe work a little harder.’
Hwayoung then became a little depressed, but the dance leader mediated the situation and the rehearsal resumed.
But Hwayoung maintained an uncomfortable expression on her face, and Jiyeon who saw this slapped Hwayoung across the cheek and told her that because she had come in late to the already-established group T-ara, she needed to act sensibly and to rehearse without that expression on her face.
The atmosphere became extremely tense, and Hyomin took Jiyeon outside, telling her that she should just be the bigger person.
Even after Hwayoung’s ‘exposure’ incident, everyone was indifferent towards her, rather than comforting.
After the incident, T-ara went on hiatus to prepare for “Day By Day” and because of events with Davichi and Brown Eyed Girls, I could only see T-ara on TV.
Seeing them on the small-screen, I thought that the girls’ relationship with Hwayoung had improved, but these girls who are all grown don’t want to sit by her in the car so they blatantly play rock paper scissors right in front of her face.”
Post like these attesting to the bullying attacks against Hwayoung continue to surface on portal site community boards, causing netizens to become all the more eager to uncover the truth.

IU admits she found it hard to get close to T-ara’s Jiyeon at first
IU revealed her honest opinion on her first impression of T-ara‘s Jiyeon on the recent filming of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘ featuring T-ara.
The two were both born in 1993, but they only greeted each other briefly backstage at music programs until they met in 2010 on the SBS program ‘Heroes‘ and got to know one another. The T-ara members returned to their homes this past June for individual promotions, and IU was invited to Jiyeon’s place.
IU commented, “I thought [Jiyeon's] room would be filled with pink princess clothes and accessories, but it’s actually pretty plain. It was hard to be friendly with Jiyeon at first because she has the impression of a cold, city woman.”
When IU saw Jiyeon preparing a snack, she remarked, “Please don’t cook. Jiyeon is good at dancing, acting, and a lot of other things, but she’s not a very good cook. I think she’s worse than I am.”
She then added, “When I was first invited to her house, she said she would make me samgyetang, but I talked her out of it.”
‘Star Life Theater’ will air their special T-ara feature from July 9th to the 13th at 8:20PM KST.

Netizens take notice that most of T-ara’s characters in dramas and movies end up dying
Netizens have recently taken notice of an eerie trend with death for the acting characters portrayed by the members in T-ara.
A post on an online community board brought to attention that T-ara was on the verge of becoming actresses that specialize in character deaths, pointing out that nearly every role they’ve taken on had ended up in death or near-death situations. The post went on to compare them to Kim Kap Soo, an actor well known for his many character deaths.
Eunjung had played the role of a girl who committed suicide in the movie ‘World of Silence‘, and also the role of a student who was choked to death in the movie ‘Death Bell‘. In her recent movie ‘White‘, her character was trampled to death by her fans.
Jiyeon‘s characters also suffered a similar fate, as she played the role of a girl who had been burned to death by rebellious classmates in her MBC drama ‘Soul‘. In the group’s “Lovey Dovey” music video, her character died by the Busan ocean.
In ‘Gisaengryung‘, Hyomin‘s character died while coming out of the bathroom, and in ‘Gyebaek‘, she died trying to set the spirit of her husband on fire.
Netizens also pointed out that if their characters weren’t dead, they suffered from near-death experiences. In ‘Death Bell 2‘, Jiyeon was almost killed but managed to survive, and in ‘Jungle Fish 2‘, her character attempted to commit suicide but failed. Eunjung’s character in ‘Dream High‘ also contemplated suicide.
Netizens commented, “Seeing it all laid out like this makes the OP seem like a real T-ara fan”, “It’s kind of funny calling them Kap Soo Idols”, and “The members all have a lot of acting experience.”
