HeroCent 753 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 In a recent interview, former T-ara member Han Areum honestly talked about how her past hardships with T-ara left a scar on her, but also helped her as she grew through her experiences on the idol rebooting show “The Unit.†Han Areum, who spoke about her past controversies on “The Unit,†once again talked about her departure from T-ara, saying, “I don’t think my members did anything wrong. There are disagreements in every group, but the world put the spotlight on T-ara because of the bullying controversy. We just didn’t communicate enough, and we were careful of each other. I don’t acknowledge that I was bullied nor that they bullied me.†There was even more criticism about the group as a T-ara staff member revealed the text messages between T-ara member Hwayoung’s twin Hyoyoung and Areum. Concerning that, Han Areum wrote, “Hwayoung truly has a cool personality. She was a person who took good care of me, the new member of the group. I heard that Hwayoung scolded Hyoyoung for sending those text messages to me.†Han Areum revealed she feels no resentment towards her members. She said, “I was hurt by the staff and people around me rather than my members. They didn’t do anything bad to me, but it was just difficult for me to get along with them. We were all sensitive back then, and I was young, too.†She also added that her one year of promoting as a T-ara member was an opportunity where she learned many things, but on the other hand, she thinks she wouldn’t have been so hurt if she hadn’t been a part of T-ara. Not only did Han Areum have to deal with a bullying controversy, but she also had to suffer through rumors that she had become possessed. She explained that those rumors came out after she had uploaded a photo of herself face-painting on social media, which made people assume she had lost her mind. Han Areum said, “I was in disbelief. An article about my illness had been published, and my friend called me. I laughed a lot since my friend brought it up. Later on, I was determined to make that moment a turning point in my life.†Han Areum confessed about the emotional and physical obstacles she suffered through after leaving T-ara. She admitted, “I got a trauma where I couldn’t eat in front of people. I didn’t eat after leaving T-ara, so I lost 40 kilograms. I was locked up in my room. I only listened to music. If not for music, I would have died. My uncle came and asked me to open my door, but I couldn’t. After that, I really like the bathroom. There was a bathroom attached to my room, and it was part of my space. So even to this day, if I’m struggling, I go look in the bathroom mirror.†During her most difficult time, she was admitted to the hospital. She said, “While being admitted to the hospital for a month, I took medication and regained my health. I gained 15 kilograms after being admitted in there, and even after leaving it, I gained more than 15 kilograms. So at one point, I weighed 73 kilograms.†Han Areum, who recovered her body and spirit, taught dance in China last year. Then when she came back, she was offered to appear on “The Unit.†Back then, she only had one goal, and it was to show everyone that she was okay now. Through “The Unit,†Han Areum and her past controversies came into light once more, which put her through another difficult phase. Despite that fact, she revealed that she had no regrets about appearing on the idol rebooting show. She stated, “The important thing is that I came out into the world again.†Currently, Han Areum is preparing a healing photo book. She said, “I really wanted to be comforted, but when I thought about it, comforting someone and hearing them say thank you to me would comfort me. So I’m going to make a book with nature, photos of people’s happy faces, and my writing in it. I would like to freely receive any amount above a fixed price and donate the proceeds to an orphanage.†Sources: Soompi, TVDaily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seunghee's eyebrows 32,632 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Good to see her life back on track now. As a QUEEN I'm just ready to move on away from this bully scandal. Let's hope 2018 is a great year for Areum and T-ARA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jikrytae 1,848 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 okay good for her. but she needs to stop bringing up T-ara all the time. like enough is enough girl. It's the only reason she's famous. It's not like she has a ton of things to talk about. I wish she'd stop defending the media-playing snake though. I seriously doubt she scolded her sister over that incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plush-cthulhu 4,471 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It's the only reason she's famous. It's not like she has a ton of things to talk about. I wish she'd stop defending the media-playing snake though. I seriously doubt she scolded her sister over that incident. Well, in a previous interview (link) Areum said that afterwards, Hyoyoung contacted her directly and apologized to her. In that interview she also praised Hwayoung for taking such good care of her during her time in T-ara. Remember, Areum spent a year in the same group as Hwayoung and the same agency as Hyoyoung. I don't know about you, but I have never met either of them in person so I'm pretty sure Areum knows the twins a lot better than I will ever do.

I don't need to know them personally to know what sort of people they are. There's more than enough evidence at this point. Apologizing also doesn't excuse saying such a thing in the first place. Areum is being too nice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroCent 753 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I can see Queen's are starting to turning their backs on her. Can't blame them. Last year she was protecting T-ara, this year she tries to defend the twins. While all of them have nothing to do with one another anymore, the issue's surfaced since Areum decided to participate in The Unit. Truly breaks my heart that she's the cause of the current messes.

Maks.K 3,874 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 @HeroCent (replying is not working at my side) She is not the cause. Causes are in the heads of people. People do the mess due to their minds. There are people who hate HY, and for these people the idea that twins are not monsters is unbearable. Hence the mess.
