Police refute CCM’s claims of filing reports for investigation of the alleged back dancer

Core Contents Media recently announced that the alleged back-dancer testimony had been fabricated, and that they had determined this by tracking down the IP address and had submitted a request to the Police. However, the Seoul Seocho Police Department has come forth with a statement that seems to refute what CCM has previously stated.

“There is not a single report on file relating to Core Contents Media or T-ara,” said the police department. “The various reports saying that [CCM] has reported this to the cyber investigative squad is false.”

The alleged false report, according to CCM, involved a self-described former back-dancer for T-ara, who revealed that group member Jiyeon had slapped fellow member Hwayoung on one occasion.

At the time this account was posted, CCM released a statement saying “It is impossible that Jiyeon, in the middle of a public practice room, could have slapped Hwayoung. After tracking the IP address, it was revealed that it was written by a person who was not even a back-dancer.” Several reports indicated that the agency had announced that they had then submitted a report with the cyber investigative unit from the police.

T-ara’s Jiyeon picks their ‘Native American’ concept as her least favorite

T-ara‘s Jiyeon picked the ‘Native American’ concept as her least favorite concept of all time.

On the July 25th broadcast of KBS 2TV’s ‘Yeo Yoo Man Man‘, T-ara discussed their survival story in the competitive music industry. One of the questions they were asked was on the topic of some of their interesting concepts they’ve utilized in the past.

When the MCs asked, “Who chooses the concepts?” the girls blurted, “Our CEO,” as if they had been waiting for someone to ask.

With all the unique and sometimes bizarre concepts that they’ve undertaken in the past, the members were then asked to pick their least favorite out f the bunch. This prompted Jiyeon to respond, “I didn’t like the Native American concept. We also had to paint our faces as well for the concept and it really gave off a native vibe,” and further explained her embarrassment while having to stand on stage in front of the public.

T-ara also discussed heartfelt stories about their families, their life behind the fame and glory, and stories of giving up their pretty girl group image for success on the same episode.
