Kim Kwang Soo says Hwayoung can come back to T-ara if she admits her faults

CEO Kim Kwang Soo of Core Contents Media announced recently that he would terminate the contract of T-ara member Hwayoung and then followed that by threatening her and accusing her of being insubordinate. However, there may be an opportunity for T-ara to reunite, KKS says.

On July 30th, KKS told Star News, “If Hwayoung recognizes her faults, then it’s possible for me to talk with the T-ara members and staff about her rejoining. This would only occur if Hwayoung reviews her previous actions and goes through a period of self-reflection so that she does not repeat the same behavior again.

Star News continues: “The probability of this occurring is low, but there’s now hope for the situation to revert back to normal. Now it’s for Hwayoung to decide.

I can’t tell if this is the greatest troll job in the history of the universe or if KKS is actually this delusional.

  1. At this point in time, I think KKS is just saying shit to keep the limelight on T-ara. Bad press is still press.

  2. I think it’s funny for him to even say “Oh yeah, well.. I guess I can talk to the staff… they may want you to come back…. y’know, if they say yeah. BUT YOU MUST ATONE FOR YOUR SINS!!!” To be honest, her going back to me would piss me off more than this whole big drama that’s been brewing up since… last year apparently (well… could’ve been) I dunno, my group screwing me over, and my boss getting the leftovers and screwing me over some more… why would I wanna go back? Please please pleeeease release some dirt on him!!!

  3. You cant fix stupid.

  4. Ultimate insult.

  5. Punica granatum

    This is ridiculous…
    Why would she even bother to think about coming back? I mean with all the attention and support she’s having right now and the netizens behind her?
    KKS is desperate and he doesn’t even tries to hide it.

  6. Hwayoung one word: RUN!

  7. better suggestion: find a better company (like the big three)

    • Well that’s if they wanna pick her up. Since she is getting pitied, one of those companies can bank on that for a bit.

      • well i really hope one of the big three picks her up and do a “jay park” on KKS’s ass

        • Yeah I know nothing on him but he was kicked out of JYP and is solo… What company picked him up?

        • sidus hq

        • not that big compared to the big three but then they have danny ahn and solbi in their recording artist roster

        • Yea exactly but I think she was have an easier time getting into a music company than Jay Park. It seems like he was ignored for his “mistake” but since Hwayoung doesn’t have something like that over her head she has a better chance. Cause sidus isn’t exactly a big music company. I think they are more successful for their actors/actresses.

  8. The one goddamn day I decide to go on a cruise, the ONE thing that is actually worth a giving a shit about happens in K-pop happens. WTF man? Reading all this, it’s like ‘ok can’t get worse than this right?!’ But it does.

  9. This CEO should be more worried about his remaining members since netizens, in their fury, are digging up dirt on his group. This one specifically is about Hyomin and did they hit pay dirt.

    See below

    http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2012/07/t-aras-hyomin-found-to-have-past-as.html

    If this continues, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more dirt being dug up about other members too.

    I think after all this, Hwayoung is probably going to end up as a winner.

    Oh yeah, if he were a smart guy, KKS will cancel their concert as well as their return ’cause I’m not sure what else the netizens will “uncover” if he continues on as he plans to. By the way, it’s the worst move in history to threaten someone this publicly.

    She still has her sister working for his company and I’m sure that he’ll end up using her to threaten Hwayoung.

    • Next on their shit list is Jiyeon, but they might skip her because she already has a scandal. Then Eunjung. Then Soyeon. And finally Boram.

      They’re going in the order of who started the Tweets.

    • Eunjung already had one product company already say they aren’t going to renew her contract in august because of work-related damages (Not sure if this is true. I read it in some article). And supposedly they want Eunjung kicked off WGM and some tv series she was going to be one. So yea damage control is seriously happening.

  10. T-ara ganged up on Hwayoung,
    KKS blamed it on her and dirtied her name with allegations of lack of working moral and kicked her out in order to save the group’s name
    - now he flaunts a possible forgiveness if she takes one for the team and acts as the black sheep.

    Of course everyone with a healthy state of mind would tell KKS to fuck himself in the ass but I’m not sure Hwayoung has left any strength and
    dignity to make the right choice…

    The fact KKS announced this makes me believe behind the curtains they have already settled a press release date when Hwayoung will publicly apologize :/

    I’m sorry for this girl.
    I’ve been bullied throughout my life and my mother is not really better than KKS so I really do feel sympathy for her…

    • mybiasbeatsyourbias

      I’ve been bully throughout my life but I know when to verbally slap a bitch or two.
      I’m sure hwayoung is piss off to high hell. He made it so public and spoke to the press. What a fucking pig. He did this to defame her. And then try to sound sympathetic afterwords.
      He is like the kanye west of kpop. “Imma let you finish but first. Straight up no disrespect. nobody like yo ass.”-that is KKS and CCM attitude towards her.

      She should leave before this groups implode.

  11. Reading the AKP articles on this whole thing… omg the CEO really just….. *shakes head* He really didn’t expect this to like…. backfire? Unless… IT’S THE ULTIMATE TROLL EVER!!!!!

    • I doubt it. It looked more like he was counting on the popularity of the “superstars” in the group like Eunjung and Jiyeon to carry it through. Now that he’s getting hit with the consequences (netizens siding with Hwayoung, refunded tickets for their tour concert, & people from other country looking at the situation disapproving, esp Japan), he’s trying to back pedal but still save face. I doubt he was expecting this type of response when he decided to get rid of her.

      • Well it was either he planned all of this to happen (which yeah I doubt it too but it could be possible!!!) or he knew he seriously effed up when it got backfired. I still wonder what the whole thing was for this to happen, and I just can’t simply think it all started over some twitter bullying (because seriously… why would the members even do that on twitter unless they’re just that dumb?) So I just dunno if it’s possible past bullying (which many seem to be playing on) or something more behind it that we’ll never know.

        • I definitely think there was bullying happening all along. Hwayoung was fresh meat. And with how KKS manages T-ara, I wouldn’t be surprised if the other members were jealous of the new young member or didn’t want some new girl to come up and steal their spotlight. If I am not mistaken Hwayoung joined when T-ara was gaining popularity, previous to Hwayoung joining they won the triple crown for that damn Bo Peep song. It could be other member felt she didn’t work hard enough and just joined a group when they started getting more popular.

  12. Honestly, i don’t even give a fuck for all this shit anymore. Go to sleep. Wake me up in the next t-ara nip slip.

  13. With stuff like this being released:
    http://forums.allkpop.com/threads/t-aras-former-back-up-dancer-speaks-up.19798/
    I doubt Hwayoung would step foot in CCM.

  14. I hope Hwayoung already has that signed contract release from KKS.

  15. why didn’t this guy just issue a “blah blah blah creative differences” statement and just leave it at that?

    (obviously he’s an idiot but this is standard entertainment business guy 101 shit!)

  16. I seriously wanna know what type of shrooms he does

  17. Sounds like he just realised the amount of shit he got himself into and is trying to get out of it with some “dignity”, if you can call it that.

  18. I f Hwayoung goes back It’s definitely a publicity stunt..and I will forever be a TROLL of T-ara

    • I bet you that if she goes back it’ll be because of her sister plus who knows what her self esteem and mental state is like currently.

    • Publicity stunt? No. A publicity stunt is something you do to benefit yourself.

      There is not a single way this incident could have benefited T-ara no matter what happens from this point on. So the idea that it was staged for any reason is completely absurd.

      If Hwayoung re-joins the group it will be because of some stick or carrot that KKS uses to manipulate her into doing it.

      I seriously hope that he already granted her the no-clause cancellation of her contract, because it’s clear that he is now realizing his mistake in getting rid of her.

      If he didn’t already grant the cancellation, he could pressure her back into the group by threatening to block her from the entertainment industry for the life of the contract and/or seek damages from her if he claims that she “quit” after refusing to rejoin the group.

  19. Pfft, this man has so much bullshit coming out of his mouth.

    “I know I’ve been working you WAY too hard and shit, causing you to faint and break a foot, even your co-workers are ganging up on you, BUT if you just be a good girl and act as if I didn’t hurt you emotionally (more like threatening), you can comeback to your glorious/painful life.”

  20. Whoa – too much fucking T-ara to handle in one day.

    Can’t be online for a couple of days and already missing out on all of this crap. How am I suppossed to turn every article into a place filled with the filthiest and most immoral sex comments?

    The first page needs more dicks, poontang, titties and taemin’s glorious asshole.

    Also KKS should get his balls waxed and his pink headed milk slinger cut off. Fucking piece of shit.

  21. AKP is dropping a T-ara story every three articles. Striking while the iron is stupid hot

  22. Oppasapervert

    http://oi50.tinypic.com/2mypuly.jpg

    this sums up how I feel about the situation.

  23. Hahahahahahahaha

  24. Advertisers are pulling their support for T-ara. It has begun!

    • I just love how in the comments people are saying “it isn’t a JYPE or SME group cause they love each other and treat each other like family”. LOL. Hmm I wonder what are the two groups tho. After School perhaps. =p

      • A lot people saying one of them is Suzy, but…whatever, I guess. I’m not making assumptions until I get at least names and sources.

    • I hope with this article people realize bullying is a systemic issue. Not just an one-group problem.

  25. Everything about this owns

  26. Someone should tell this guy to shut the fuck up. He totally went psycho on this shit, aren’t there people such as investors that could take away his right to talk? Lol.

    Uhm, yeah, it looks like he’s done and he’s taking T-ara with him.

  27. I doubt she’ll go back to T-ara no one can be that stupid. And KKS is full of himself. Everything he says sounds like he just pulled it out of his ass. First the whole Nichkhun scandal and now this, this is seriously epic. This is so much drama. My heart cannot contain it’s happiness. I hope the next drama is even worse than this.

    But yeah, I hope everything works out for Hwayoung. Sucks to be her right now.

  28. Nichkhun is so out of the picture with all this. I bet he’s thankful.
