T-ARA's Bullying Incident Resurfaces: A-ram Speaks Out

The controversy surrounding T-ARA's infamous bullying incident has returned to the spotlight after 12 years, with former member A-ram sharing her thoughts through her boyfriend.

On November 12, A-ram's boyfriend, referred to as A, took to his personal social media to express frustration over repeated inquiries about the situation, stating, "Please stop asking me about A-ram's past group activities. Only those involved truly know what went on. It's been over ten years, and both A-ram and I would prefer if people moved on." He emphasized the futility of revisiting past events, questioning their significance.

A-ram joined T-ARA in 2012 but left the group after just one year. The bullying incident came to light in July 2012 when member Ryu Hwa-young faced alleged ostracism from others. During that time, Hwa-young's sister, Hyo-young, sent threatening messages to A-ram, spurring media attention.

Recently, Kim Kwang-soo, the head of T-ARA's former agency, addressed the bullying incident on a variety show, igniting further disputes as Hwa-young contradicted his remarks, claiming the bullying was indeed true. This renewed discourse has once again made the issue a hot topic in the entertainment industry.

Hyo-young publicly reflected on the threatening messages she sent to A-ram, stating her regret about her actions and apologizing, but maintaining that she still feels sorry for the incident. Meanwhile, A-ram has faced personal challenges, including a divorce from her businessman husband and publicizing her new relationship with A, with whom she has a daughter and another on the way.

Additionally, A-ram has been accused of borrowing approximately 37 million won from her acquaintances and not repaying them, leading to her being sent to prosecutors. A has also been implicated in the allegations and is currently facing legal challenges, which he recently detailed on social media.
