I consider all the Tijinyo and Sajungyeon members to be individuals who love T-ara. I would like to thank the many who held interest and concern and I will meet whenever needed with the Tijinyo and Sajungyeon representatives.

Whichever agency Hwa Young goes to, or wherever she continues her study of music. I will support her in becoming an amazing rapper and singer. I ask for your continued support and interest in Hwa Young and her music path.

I will strive to become a careful and thoughtful individual before the public. I apologize once more for misunderstandings and concern that has been given to society till now. Lastly, I would like to apologize to the members of the press and media outlets".

Kim Kwangsoo talked with Hwayoung and Hyoyoung for 30 Minutes

Earlier today, we have posted that Hwayoung went to Core Contents Media's office last night to apologize to their CEO, Kim Kwangsoo.

Now following that, Kim Kwangsoo has revealed that he and the twins, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung, had a 30 minutes conversation last night.

In an interview he revealed, " [Hwayoung, with her twin sister] Hyoyoung met with me for 30 minutes and was saying things such as '[She's really] upset and [she's] sorry". That was the first time that I met her since her contract termination was announced. She's been very distressed at how everything have gone insanely out of control. Seeing her like that was also very painful for me," CEO Kim continued to say, "For the time being, T-ara will continue their promotional activities without Hwayoung. The T-ara members, just like Hwayoung are all victims in this situation. Having everything happen like this has brought pain to the children's (T-ara and Hwayoung's) hearts. Finally, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung also said that '[They will] be waiting'".

CEO Kim Kwangsoo had a hard time calming down the situation, but now the reconcilation phase is here and attracting attention. Hwayoung met with Kim Kwangsoo at 10:30 PM KST after posting a heartfelt apology on her Twitter. 

Here's what Kim Kwangsoo stated in his interview.

♦ Why did the sisters, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung come to meet you?

Hwayoung came to the office late at night to give a last greeting. An hour before, Hwayoung made a post on Twitter. She came with her sister and cried throughout the 30 minutes. 'I'm sorry for giving so many complications,' she said. She sincerely regretted her behavior and everything that happened and couldn't hold back her feelings.

♦ How is Hwayoung doing?

For someone as young as her to experience an incident this big, of course she's having a difficult time. Yesterday, [when we met] instead of blaming her for bad behaviour, I gave her words of encouragement. T-ara isn't living with each other like they used to but staying with their parents now.

♦ Hwayoung and the company is currently having conflicts, [how about] Hyoyoung, she's still [with the company]?

I don't want to talk about her at the moment. The only thing that both sisters said to me was "President-nim, we will be waiting. With her sister being in this state, she's not at a position to be able to work on her own activities, anyway.

♦ How are the T-ara members?

If I say that their current state [is similar] to having a mental breakdown, it'd be pretty accurate. All T-ara members as well as Hwayoung's are all in a panic state. T-ara are very sad over the talk that they made Hwayoung an outcast. They also feel sorry for not protecting their youngest sister well. This teaches them that something small can create a very big wave such as this one. They're continually crying.

♦ [Hwayoung] being outcast is still being debated over. What is the real reason to Hwayoung's departure?

It's a pity it's still a controversy. Whatever group, social relationships always experience conflict. Bullying between members is not the reason for her withdrawal. It's because of Hwayoung's refusal to perform on KBS 2TV 'Music Bank' on the 27th. Hwayoung had made a promise to fans to perform on stage no matter the situation. There were also many staff members working for her who were hurt by this. As a singer, she broke the promise she made. Such mistakes like that are a big deal.

♦ Is there a possibility that Hwayoung will be re-joining?

The only thing Hwayoung said was "I will wait." If she comes back so suddenly, it might become a little difficult. There's been a deep wound that's inflicted on both T-ara and Hwayoung. Saying this is difficult because I am feeling just as hurt [seeing all of this unfold].

♦ T-ara's promotions?

First of all, T-ara will continue their promotions without Hwayoung. The plan for now is to have them remain as a 7-member group. Dani will only be added to T-ara after December as planned initially. It is also mandatory that T-ara proceeds with their concert on August 11th, but they will take a break from variety programs. The report regarding the massive amounts of ticket refunding at the concert is also not true.

Meanwhile, CCM has also announced that T-ara's concert in Korea which was scheduled on August 11th has been postponed.

Hwayoung apologized to CCM's CEO, Kim Kwangsoo!

After apologizing to Twitter last night, it was revealed that Hwayoung went to Core Contents Media's office right after to apologize to Kim Kwangsoo.

But before that, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung bumped into a Newsen reporter on the street outside of Core Contents Media's office.

After their encounter, the reporter wrote that Hwayoung had a bright smile and greeted him, " Mr. Reporter, Hello."  When he asked where they are going, Hwayoung replied, " I just posted an apology. I'm going to say sorry to the boss now. I'm so sorry to our boss. They have treated me so well".

When Hwayoung noticed the sad expression on the reporter's face she asked, " What's wrong? I'm alright. Even if you guys don't worry about me I will be fine" and smiled.  The reporter also wrote that Hwayoung said, " I don't resent our boss (Kim Kwangsoo). I feel apologetic to him for being so good to me, but because of me, he's suffering a lot of damage. That's why now I'm going to offer an apology".

After their encounter, Hwayoung and Hyoyoung proceed to CCM's office and there she went to apologize to their CEO, Kim Kwangsoo.

Kim Kwangsoo revealed that Hwayoung apologized and said, " I don't know why it's gotten this far. I'm sorry. To the president, members of our company family.. I'm sorry to everyone".

He revealed that Hwayoung went on saying, " When I decided not to proceed to appear on 'Music Bank' that day, I made a big mistake. I failed to keep a promise I made with the people viewing and the fans".  Kwangsoo stated again, the reason Hwayoung was removed from T-ara is because of her decision to not appear on Music Bank.

CEO Kim Kwangsoo continued to say that he didn't originally plan to remove Hwayoung from the group, but it ultimately got to that point. He said, " In the future, I believe Hwayoung can be a successful artist and rapper in a different company. I hope she'll grow and be able to perform on grand stages in the future."

Additionally, on a separate phone interview with Star News this morning, Kim Kwangsoo also stated, " I was surprised that Hwayoung came to the company last night, but we have already talked. After apologizing to the other members, staff, and fans and apologizing for breaking her promise and reflecting on her actions, Hwayoung burst in tears".  He continued, " It broke my heart seeing Hwayoung cry. Seeing Hwayoung cry, I realized her heart has not had a break [from aching]".

Kim Kwangsoo also revealed, " The T-ara members also are saddened and shed tears over this incident" and continued with " The writings T-ara and Hwayoung wrote on Twitter without any meaning behind them have all caused a ripple effect. I talked frankly to all of them yesterday, and each of them shed tears".

He ended it with, " I hope the fans can give their love and keep watching T-ara and Hwayoung rather than posts on the Internet".

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Dani will join earlier to replace Hwayoung but CCM cleared it by saying that the rumor is false, T-ara will promote as a 7-member member group with Areum and be joined by Dani in December.

T-ara will temporarily stop their activities

CCM, specially Kim Kwangsoo probably didn't expect the impact of them removing Hwayoung would be this big, and now that it has become so out of control, they have no choice but to temporarily stop T-ara's activities.

On the 31st of July, T-ara's company announced, " In order to prepare for their follow-up song, they will not engage in any schedules at this time.  It's not a suspension of activities, but more that we haven't specifically determined their schedules yet".

Meanwhile, T-ara is scheduled to perform at SBS' 'Yeosu Expo Super Concert' on August 1st and that will be their last performance for the time being.

In addition to that, T-ara's Eunjung was also scheduled to attend the VIP premiere of the movie "I Am a King" yesterday, but because of the heated issue they have decided to cancel it.

  Keep Calm and Pray for T-ara!

They need us now more than ever.

CCM says "Hwayoung, refused to perform during a live show".

After the Big Announcement, Full Press Release and Kim Kwangsoo's short interview, the company has finally revealed one scenario on why they came up with the decision.

It has been revealed that after finishing their concert in Japan and returning to Korea, T-ara's Hwayoung suddenly left before T-ara's live stage performance for the July 27th Music Bank stating that she could not go on stage.

The representatives of the company continued to reveal that due to Hwayoung's leg injury she would do her rap part in a chair and had even completed camera rehearsal.  However, when T-ara was to be the the 3rd in line to perform, she suddenly said she wouldn't perform and acted inappropriately.

Following this, the company's staff members and T-ara members scramble to ensure there were no broadcast issues during the Music Bank performance. In a short amount of time, members Eunjung and Hyomin prepared to do Hwayoung's rap part to ensure there were no broadcast issues. Unfortunately, due to being nervous, Hyomin made a mistake after the rap part.

After refusing to go on stage, on her way home, in front of fans and reporters, Hwayoung threw her crutches and threatened to start screaming in front of everyone to her manager. Additionally, she acted beyond the control of her managers, and this was witnessed by fans and reporters on scene at Music Bank.

T-ara's CEO Kim Kwangsoo also revealed " It wasn't just the Music Bank incident," but a number of other incidents as well. However, he does not wish to reveal any further incidents to protect Hwayoung. He also found what Hwayoung said on Twitter "very unfortunate."

Note: Hwayoung's tweet earlier was " ...Facts Without Truth".

--------------------/--------------------

I don't know about the other statements, but one thing I'm sure is that Hwayoung was really scheduled to perform on July 27th's Music Bank.  Here's her picture from their rehearsal on that day.
