T-Ara members' recent tweets become hot issues

The tweets of T-ARA members assumed to be aimed at fellow member Hwayoung are becoming a big issue.  On the 25th and the 26th, the group held their first concert in Japan entitled T-ARA Jewelry Box. The controversy started when unfortunately, Hwayoung injured her leg while practicing.

Towards the beginning of the Budokan performance, Soyeon, Eunjung, Qri, Boram, Jiyeon, and Hyomin each greeted the fans one at a time, and afterwards Hwayoung came on stage with her crutches, and the fans encouraged her with their loud cheers. When the concert was nearly over, T-ara performed their hit song Day By Day while Hwayoung performed her rap parts seated on a chair.

The group also members had to sing Day by Day on Music Bank in Korea without Hwayoung and leader Soyeon on the 27th. The other members of the group extended themselves, trying to make up the absence of the two. But the members, excluding Qri and Ahreum, tweeted their thoughts while still in Japan.

On the 25th, Eunjung posted, “A position can make or break a person, but will and determination can also make a person, too. What a pity. You should always be able to take care of the people around you.”

On the same day, Jiyeon posted, “It’s all about the will, always be humble, I give you applause for your acting.”

Soyeon posted, “Will + manners + consideration, let’s all cheer up.”

Hyomin posted, “It’s all about the will. Let’s all have more determination. Fighting!”. Boram retweeted this.

In response, Hwayoung also wrote on her own twitter, “Sometimes, even determination alone is not enough. At times like these, I feel upset but I trust that it’s a blessing in disguise from the heavens. God, you know everything right?”

Hwayoung’s twin sister Hyoyoung from 5dolls also wrote, “If your face is pretty, your heart has to be pretty, too. Is a sick person not a person? I’m hurting. I want to seriously cry. I should just practice instead.” and “My better half is suffering. My heart hurts. No matter what anyone else says, Hwayoung, you can get through this,” to which Hwayoung replied, “You’re the best.”

Moreover, on the morning of July 28th, Hwayoung again wrote, “The support of my family and fans is worth so much to me. Please watch over me.” She also previously tweeted a photo of herself and twin sister Hyoyoung holding hands, writing, “Ryu! Thanks for always being by my side. I love you.”

Ever since the controversy broke out online, fans have been voicing their concern for T-ara as well as sending messages of support to Hwayoung. Their agency at first argued that the girls’ accounts had been hacked, but it seems unlikely that all of their individual Twitters could have been hacked at the same time. The tweets are deleted now, but the captured files have been bringing heat to internet users, who said “No wonder they say Hwayoung is outcasted within the group”, etc.
