T-ara to temporarily halt scheduling future events?

It seems we will not be seeing much of T-ara until their next comeback.

It’s been reported that T-ara’s performance at the SBS ‘K-POP Yeosu Expo Super Concert’ on August 1st is the last official event scheduled on their books for the time being.

On July 31st, T-ara’s associate revealed, “We didn’t plan any schedules because they are going into preparations for a follow-up song,” while also adding, “We have not made any definite decisions on the temporary halting of their schedules.”

Currently, it has been reported that T-ara has been canceling their planned schedules and avoiding appearances at formal events. As reported earlier, there were plans for member Eunjung to attend the VIP screening of ‘I Am the King‘, but she ended up not showing up for the event.

It looks like it will be a while before we get to see T-ara as they wait for this storm to pass while preparing for their next comeback.

T-ara’s Eunjung misses VIP showing of “I Am a King”

T-ara‘s Eunjung did not attend the VIP showing of the movie ‘I Am a King‘.

On the 30th at Seoul GunDae entrance Lotte Cinema, the VIP showing of “I am a King” was held and reporters noticed that one of the VIP guests was not present.

Eunjung was scheduled to appear at the event to support Joo Ji Hoon, who stars alongside her in the upcoming SBS drama ‘Five Fingers‘. However, the T-ara member never made an appearance at the showing that evening.

It is speculated that the idol canceled her appearance due to the backlash the group has been receiving with the controversy of Hwayoung’s contract being terminated.

CCM reveals the dark side of Hwayoung, mudslinging ensues

Following their announcement regarding the termination of Hwayoung‘s contract, Core Contents Media recently revealed some of Hwayoung’s unacceptable behavior in the past, furthering the mudslinging.

According to CCM, after their Budokan concert and return to Korea on July 27th, T-ara was preparing to go on stage for a live broadcast of KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘. With only two groups before them left to go, Hwayoung suddenly decided that she did not want to perform on stage that day.

CCM had decided that due to her leg injury, Hwayoung would sit on a chair on stage for her rap segment, and so the girls had successfully completed their camera rehearsal before the broadcast. However, Hwayoung suddenly changed her mind and refused to go on stage with 2 groups left to go.

The agency stated that in order to prevent an accident on live TV, members Eunjung and Hyomin were pressed to learn Hwayoung’s rap segment in the short amount of time they had before their turn. With the new pressure, Hyomin was clearly nervous and ended up making a mistake during the rap segment.

On the way home, Hwayoung, in front of fans and reporters, threw down her crutches and sat on the floor, threatening to yell at the managers in public. It has also been revealed that Hwayoung has shown both fans and reporters a similar side to her, with unacceptable actions and behavior on the set of ‘Music Bank’.

CCM CEO Kim Kwang Soo stated, “We will not be revealing any more of Hwayoung’s similar behaviors outside of the ‘Music Bank’ incident because we do want to protect her. I am also sorrowed by the words left on Hwayoung’s Twitter.”

Idol members request gifts from MC Yoo Jae Suk on ‘Running Man’

The ‘nation’s MC’ Yoo Jae Suk has once again experienced a mental breakdown upon hearing idol members’ demands for lavish gifts.

The July 22nd broadcast of SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘ aired a 2012 Olympic special and consisted of idol members competing against the fixed cast members in various games of athletics.

Towards the end of the ‘hide-and-seek’ race, HaHa put Yoo Jae Suk on the spot as he remarked, “[Jae Suk hyung] is really good at buying things for people,” and joked, “He bought IU a car.” On a previous episode of ‘Running Man’, Yoo Jae Suk was put under a sticky situation of possibly having to buy IU a brand new car as a late birthday present.

Upon hearing HaHa’s joke, the idol members were surprised and asked if it was true. Taken aback, Yoo Jae Suk immediately tried to explain himself by saying, “I didn’t buy her…” but was unable to finish his sentence, as it was already too late.

CNBLUE‘s Jung Yonghwa put in his request to the MC saying, “We’ll be moving to our new dorm soon, so could you buy us a new refrigerator?” Following his lead, MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon also pitched in, “I live with my parents, but there hasn’t been any air conditioning in our house for the past 10 years. Please buy us an air conditioning system.”

ZE:A‘s Lim Siwan added to the list, “Our dorm is too small for all of us to live in…” and to this, the Running Man members added, “Oh so you need a house.” And unable to miss this golden opportunity, T-ara‘s Eunjung remarked, “I have been feeling exhausted lately. I think I need a massage chair.”

In the end, Yoo Jae Suk faced Lee Kwang Soo and desperately asked, “Please lend me 200 million won (~$175,000 USD),” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

During the underwater hurdle event, a screenshot of T-ara’s Eunjung flying over a hurdle was brought to attention because of her mid-air position, which evoked the image of a bird in flight. The girl group member showed off her flexibility and leg strength, flying over the hurdles with the help of her six male team-mates.

The idol team consisting of top idols, Eunhyuk, Nichkhun, Lee Joon, Siwan, Eunjung, Doojoon, and Jung Yonghwa, displayed their unification as a team, putting up a good fight against the experienced Running Man members.

On the July 14th episode of MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘, Eunjung was apologetic about not being able to prepare anything special for Jang Woo’s birthday this past June.

“All of us have been through so much. That’s why I want to be with them for as long as possible,” says Eunjung, “Most of us get very lonely as we don’t get to see our family all that often, so we depend on each other to cheer each other up.”

“We’re more like family now,” continues Eunjung, “We’re sisters. If a member were to come up to me and say ‘Someone said something bad about me’ or ‘This person hurt me,’ I wouldn’t think twice about getting up and doing something about it.”
