What You Plant is What You Get

Bullying is an action that must be hated by most people and it is intolerable. In the previous post I mentioned about T-ara who bullied their former member. Now, I am going to talk about it.

This bullying case revealed in 2012, then later the CEO of their company announced that Hwayoung will leave T-ara. Thus, so many people suspected that the CEO wanted to scold Hwayoung out in order    to follow the other members' desire who might threaten the CEO that they will leave T-ara. As the result, the CEO sacrificed Hwayoung as the guilty one and said that Hwayoung expelled from the group because she got so many complaints from the staffs. Here is the CEO's statement at that time, "In deference to the complaintsby T-ara's staff of 19 people (5 stylists, 7 hair & makeup, 5 on-site managers, 2 team managers), Hwayoung's contract as an artist will be voided effective immediately with no conditions". Then the following statement, "Although the staff of Core Contents Media stayed up into early morning discussing with the T-ara members who all wanted to stay with Hwayoung, we apologize in saying that we could not forsake the arguments of the staff members".

People did not believe that excuse, then soon netizens found some evidences about that bullying case. These are some evidences that they have found:
1. Jiyeon was ignoring Hwayoung's high-five

She did the high five with all members except Hwayoung

2. Again, Jiyeon treated Hwayoung badly

In my opinion, Jiyeon was intentionally hitting Hwayoung

3. Eunjung blocked Hwayoung when Hwayoung wanted to sit

This happened during the Japanese TV show. They did not know that the camera has already turned on and recorded everything until one of the members realized then smiled to the camera.

4. Previously, I mentioned the excuse of the CEO why Hwayoung left the group. He said that Hwayoung got lots of complaints from the staffs. In fact, a magazine staff once tweeted that Hwayoung is a good girl.

"I was searching up what's going on with T-ara..Last month at a magazine photo shoot, we were working with an idol group. Before the shoot began, a member came and bowed 90 degrees to all the staff members. She left an impression on me so I asked who she was to the editor and she was T-ara's Hwayoung.. Sigh."

*I only provide some evidences not all of them :)

Because of this case, people started to hate T-ara and their popularity decreased dramatically. Up until this year, people still hate them that in this year's Dream Concert T-ara got Black Ocean. Yeah, What you plant is what you get. However, that black ocean thing was too cruel.
