That was obviously an accident was recognized as such by everyone, plus YG didn't piss all over the dead guy and his family like KKS is doing here. The bullying rumors, whether true or not, have spun so far out of control that there is a huge backlash against CCM and T-ara. Totally different from Big Bang's scenario. The point is people were pissed when Daesung killed a dude and that shit died down. this is a bigger deal but I think it'll just take a little more time, and they might never be quite as big. But I think they'll be able to continue on in the future. | ||

Even the recent Nickhun case, where he ran over another motorcyclist (what's with stars and motorcyclists anyway) has been properly handled by JYP so there has been minimal backlash from the public. CCM could take a few lessons from my cat, because anyone could handle this better than them. And I don't even have a cat. | ||

People pick some members as their favorite : they are all like "its cool" and when she is being picked she is all alone and the others laugh at her like "ur kidding me ?". Wow... that clip was really damned bad to be honest. Hwayoung looks really pitiful there. Feel bad for her. It helps that she looks really cute in that clip too. But those girls were definitely not friendly. That's probably the most solid confirmation I've seen yet. ALL of them unanimously had snobby reactions. Jiyeon just sat there frozen looking at the screen, while Ham and Hyomin immediately laughed at her. Then again, I was pretty sure the bullying was happening soon as the rumors came out. Jiyeon and Eunjung just seem like that type of girl. | ||

Edit : I am not going to trust a bullshit statement from CCM either. Their PR department is an insult to fail. | ||

 I've never felt strongly about her in either way, but it's sad to see that the group was probably being so mean to her ;__; | ||

If people laughing at you in a variety show is an indicator of bullying, then Lee Kwang Soo is one of the most openly bullied persons in Korean variety - and no one gives a fuck about it  | ||

Can't believe people still attribute anything they see on TV to their real personalities. Most of the time it is scripted, and the rest of the time they are just improvising a character. | ||

Poor Jiyoung Can't believe people still attribute anything they see on TV to their real personalities. Most of the time it is scripted, and the rest of the time they are just improvising a character. Ok. | ||

Well, I have to go...hope there's not too much drama by tomorrow... For what it's worth, it's probably somewhere in between of course. They have their constructed personalities and the own personalities, and it will never be either for 100% of the time. The PR/constructed personality is probably shown more often though... Just guessing. | ||

But don't worry, I know any cute girl in k-pop probably almost never act that way in their private life (at least not at the extent they are showing in front of the cameras).

The problem is people are still talking about that Hwayoung story even if a lot of them, including StorkHwaiting, agreed to stop this discussion a few pages ago if there were not any solid evidence of bullying around. I guess we had a nice little 5 pages streak at least... Are you gonna post every episode of "T-ARA Bullying Hwayoung? Episode XX"? | ||

Thinking people are just going to stop talking about it because you dislike the fact your "bias" is being talked of in a less than favourable light is not really a concern for most. | ||
