Former T-ara member Hwayoung recently appeared on confessional show, ‘Taxi‘ to talk about T-ara. Now, a former staff member is claiming that she’s lying and a former T-ara manager has confirmed the post.

In the latest episode of Taxi, Hwayoung appeared and briefly talked about the alleged bullying that occurred within T-ara members. This was one of the biggest controversies to hit a girl group in K-Pop and effectively ruined the group’s reputation within Korea.

At the time the rumors came out, T-ara was enjoying massive success and was considered one of the top girl groups. Immediately afterward, the public shunned T-ara and they’ve yet to recover from the blowback in Korea. The group continues to have loyal fans in Japan, China and Internationally.

"It’s disappointing. When I think about [T-ara] now, it’s something that could easily happen in a group of women. I only worked as a singer and I didn’t know how to behave in everyday life. I cried a lot and shut myself up in my room. I ended up losing a lot of weight [because of the incident]" - Hwayoung

"“My younger sister Hwayoung would turn on the TV to watch Music Shows endlessly with no emotion at all. She would just stare at the TV soulessly. I was still an idol back then and looking at her [Hwayoung] situation made me want to work harder.” - Hyoyoung

However, a former staff member is now claiming that Hwayoung and Hyoyoung are completely lying about the entire incident. They posted a tell-all message and leaked chat messages that reveal more to the story.

T-ara’s former Manager has also confirmed these posts to be absolutely true, according to media reports now emerging.

However, after she returned home she went to another hospital and got herself a semi-cast. She would take the cast off when she was inside transport but would ask the manager to help her walk when reporters were around.

The staff reveals in the post, “I thought this was weird and I still don’t understand her actions.”
