On December 3, Ahreum wrote: “Once rubbish, always rubbish. This is an immutable truth,” leaving fans and followers curious about the target of his pointed observation. This comes shortly after he posted another controversial message: “They are making me angry again, completely unaware of the situation. Should I just lay it all out? Ahreum had previously broken his silence on the long-standing T-ara bullying controversy, and his new statement has drawn further attention.
Revisiting the bullying scandal
Last month, allegations of bullying within T-ARA resurfaced due to comments from Kim Kwang-soo, the former CEO of Core Contents Media, confirming that T-ARA had not mistreated former member Hwayoung . Hwayoung later wrote on Instagram, saying that she was indeed being bullied but decided to forgive the group.
As the scandal resurfaced, past incidents also came to light, including threatening text messages that Hwayoung’s twin sister, Hyoyoung, allegedly sent to Ahreum. In those messages, Hyoyoung allegedly threatened Ahreum, saying, “Let’s fight until you’re covered in dust” and “I’ll scratch your face so you can’t appear on TV.”
Ahreum Declaration
Ahreum recently addressed these issues, providing his perspective for the first time. He explained, “Hwayoung Unnie always took care of me, maybe because I was a new member, and I was grateful for her support. But after the incident and the subsequent conflicts between the members, I found myself walking on eggshells. From that moment on I no longer had anyone to rely on.”
He also confirmed “There was a misunderstanding later and Hyoyoung Unnie apologized to me for it.” Despite this, Ahreum made it clear that her time in T-ara left her deeply scarred, stating: “For me, T-ara is nothing more than a painful memory.”
Life beyond T-ara
Ahreum has faced his share of personal ups and downs. Last year he made headlines by simultaneously announcing his divorce and remarriage. She welcomed her third child last month, and shortly after, revealed her fourth pregnancy on Nov. 4, just a month later.
Ahreum’s recent posts have reignited interest in his take on the long-running T-ara controversy, with fans speculating about the true meaning behind his cryptic remarks.
