Additionally, she addressed other claims, including a specific incident of receiving nail treatment at the hotel.
Read the full statement from Hwayoung below:
“Hello,
This is Hwayoung, former member of T-ara.
First, I want to apologize for bringing up an uncomfortable topic and causing concern.
I dont know his intentions, but I feel its necessary to correct the inaccuracies.
First: The bullying was real.
Claims that I wasnt bullied and that I was pretending to be a victim are untrue.
However, the original T-ara members frequently subjected me to verbal abuse and physical bullying.
I endured it, hoping things would improve if I worked harder.
Second: After injuring my ankle, I apologized to the members multiple times.
Third: Its true that I received a nail treatment at the hotel.
However, T-ara regularly had nail technicians come to the hotel during Japanese activities, so it was routine.
At 20 years old, I thought that was the best decision.
Watching those broadcasts, my parents and I felt helpless, shedding tears with nothing we could do.
Currently, I am without an agency and on my own.
What are your thoughts?
