A T-ara representative has opened up about the group’s controversy.
On the August 3rd broadcast of JTBC‘s ‘Entertainment Exclusive‘, the rep stated during an interview, “Hwayoung was the last to join the group. I’m sure she thought she was working hard, but that probably wasn’t the case from the original members’ point of view.”
“Afterwards, Hwayoung developed a ‘celebrity complex’,” the rep continued. “She got arrogant, because she was a member of T-ara and she was also a celebrity. The other members started disciplining her about that, then things began escalating and ultimately got to where it is now.”
Another representative added, “There are probably a few members within T-ara that got along with Hwayoung. But the more influential members’ voices most likely became harder to ignore, and the members were probably in a difficult predicament where they had to choose a side.”

Dear CCM. You're just shooting yourself in the foot even more. It's time to zip your effing lips.
What qualifies as discipline in South Korea?
