“I’ll scratch your face so you can’t broadcast it”… ‘Hwayoung’s older sister’ Hyoyoung sheds new light on the text she sent to Tiara’s Areum [엑:스레이] : ZUM News

(Exports News Reporter Kim Hyun-jung) As the controversial T-ara bullying incident from 12 years ago is being re-examined, the contents of a text message sent by Hwa-young‘s older sister Hyo-young (actual name Jung Woo-yeon) to Areum are also becoming a hot topic.

CEO Kim Kwang-soo, who produced T-ara (Eunjung, Hyomin, Qri, Jiyeon), mentioned the ‘Hwayoung bullying incident’ on MBN’s ‘Let’s Go GO’ broadcast on the 9th.

Regarding the fact that 12 years ago in 2012, Hwayoung, who joined the team, was embroiled in rumors of discord and bullying within the team and eventually withdrew, CEO Kim Kwang-soo said, “For the sake of the future of Hwayoung and Hyoyoung (her older sister), we did not disclose the truth, and the T-ara members were at fault. “Because I didn’t have any, I pushed ahead with my broadcasting activities,” he explained, adding, “I can be criticized, but if T-ara stops, I will never be able to raise the issue.”

Hwayoung, the person involved, refuted this on the 10th, saying that it is true that she was bullied and that she can prove that she was verbally abused and assaulted by the members.

Hwayoung’s older sister Ryu Hyo-young also confessed on the 11th, “I heard shocking words from my younger brother that he was being ostracized by T-ara members.”

Regarding the threatening message containing profanity sent to Areum, who was one of the T-ara members at the time 12 years ago, “It was the result of trying to stop her from bullying my younger brother. I was foolish and I still regret it. I apologized, but I’m still sorry. I was only 20 years old and couldn’t do anything. “There was nothing I could do and I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice, and it was my best effort to protect my precious family,” he said.

In response to a question about her withdrawal due to discord among T-ara members on the 2017 tvN entertainment program ‘On-Site Talk Show Taxi’, Ryu Hwa-young said, “There were two years when I had no work. I saved my income as a singer and spent 1 million won a month. “I endured it,” he said, “but if you think about it, there were enough women around, the members were not adults, and I was only a singer. “I think I didn’t know about social life because I was busy doing that, so I stayed in my room and cried a lot alone.”

After the broadcast, former Tiara staff said through an online community, “I also saw sisters Ryu Hwa-young and Ryu Hyo-young crying. Hwa-young said that what happened 5 years ago could have happened. That is not possible. Just cosplay as victims. “I understand if you did, but now you want to cosplay as a great person,” he said, posting a screenshot of the text message Ryu Hyo-young sent to Areum.

The text said, ‘Areum, you should say thank you and be grateful when someone takes care of you. If you don’t want to get hit, do it right. Rumors about this floor spread quickly. Stop running your mouth and act expensively. My sister is really angry right now, so let’s not make eye contact? If I misunderstood something, would you like to meet and talk about it? Or do you want to apologize now?”, “Go away baby. Let’s go to Mu-bang and get beaten to dust and wait. I’ll scratch your face so you can’t broadcast. I’m not going to be a singer, so just wait. Dogs need to be beaten to come to their senses. Just be a bad bitch. It contained content such as “Okay, it’s getting there well.”

At the time, Ryu Hyo-young’s agency explained, “We came forward out of family sentiment because our younger brother was going through a difficult time.”

Areum said, “After a long time, I finally saw myself again. The reason I couldn’t reach out to anyone on a difficult day was because I knew that person would have a hard time of their own. That’s why I couldn’t complain or rely on anyone. “In order not to blame anyone or hate anyone, I need to endure alone and learn from that ordeal, because enduring this moment in my life is also a small success for me.” He left a meaningful post.

However, he later dismissed the public rumors of discord, saying, “Hyoyoung personally apologized.” Hwayoung complained to Hyoyoung about this, and even defended herself by saying that Hwayoung took great care of her.
