[12.08.16] Translation - 120813 Director Cha Eun Taek's Tweet

@goninri: 어린친구들이 도대체 무슨 죽을죄를 져서 이 사회가 이렇게 가학적인지..
아파도 아프다 말 못하고 힘들어도 힘들다 말 못하고 뭐가 진실인지? 그게 우리 살아가는데 뭐가 그리 중요한데..? 언제부터 우리 사회가 토론과 논란의 중심 대상이 이리 바뀐건지..

Young kids, what capital crime did they commit that they are being mistreated like this by society...to be in pain and yet be unable to say that they are in pain, to be tired and yet be unable to say that they are tired, what is the truth? Then what is important, to live like this? Since when did our society's subject and focus of discussion and blame become like this...

I'm glad people in the industry are starting to speak up.

[sleepystudent]

Like seriously...

It's not like they did something that would be categorize as treason to their nation or sold out their gov't top secret information or killed their nation's president.

I know the bullying issue is a sore and very important topic, but geez louise! GET A GRIP PEOPLE!

And it doesn't seem like the public and netizens both from Korean and aboard are going to be letting this down anytime soon either. I'm glad someone in the entertainment world thinks and is speaking out about the craziness this issue has become, especially the treatment T-ara is getting :<

[hyo_hugger]

Damn straight. This whole thing is another case of netizen hypocrisy.

People were mad at Hyomin that she wouldn't speak up, but declared that everything Soyeon said were lies. Over the years of being a Queen, I've learned not to trust KKS or "representatives." I believe what Soyeon says.

What is truth? or more like, what is the point of truth when everything that is "truth" is decided by a blinded majority.

[yan.95hpv]

From the start, do they know how hard for T-ara to rise when there r a lot of girl groups? They do everything to just make the name T-ARA more known. And yet ppl who knows nothing treat them like they kill ppl :-j how funny :-j T-ara fighting

[LurveJiyeon13]

other people should realize the hardships that the girls are going through and should not ignore the fact that the girls once being loved by them too...think about all the precious moments the the girls had given to all the people...they entertained our hearts when we're feeling down...did charity works for those in need...but still, some people overlooked the good deeds the girls had done and only emphasizing on the bad things/rumors about them....get a grip people...they're humans, they have feelings...they also get mental stress...so, stop giving them all the cr*p....i'm afraid someday, someone might collapse from all the hateful things happening....

Well society these days have turned into one where people could just casually said things about other without giving a second thought. I'm personally sick of these comments of "freedom of speech" and what not...people tend to forgot to look back at themselves and see how shallow they are. Sure, it's easy to trash talk on someone, especially with this generation where most, if not everything can be done over the internet. However, I challenge those people to stand on an objective ground and look at the situation before judging people with thoughtless comments just because "freedom of speech" allowed you to do so. It sounds easy for ordinary people, but a lot of people out there just have too much pride in themselves that they become somewhat close-minded. Otherwise, the term "antis" probably wouldn't even exist in social media.

[Regius]

Few and far between who speak in defense of T-ara, or at least talk about fairness.

What would be better is if the other idols (and their agencies) band together and speak out against this atrocity. I bet many (agencies) are silent because they believe they can gain from this. But the fact of the matter, those netizens wouldn't stop (with T-ara). Sooner or later they would have to (or they'll wait until their own talents gets under fire?).

I applaud for the director speaking out (and everyone who spoke on this issue). To speak out against injustice is an admirable trait.

[meenool]

the director should've known T-ara's hardwork
furthermore, those netizen know nothing
just ignore them~
T-ara stay strong

[haifadashdash]

I'm glad that someone quite close to them spoke up about how the freaking society treated them.
Come on like seriously, they are even saying Soyeon's accident was staged!

I saw how ugly Kpop was during TVXQ scandal and I saw how my boys suffered. Recently, I became an active Kpop fan again but with my girls T-ARA going through this, I'm seeing this horrible side of Kpop again and I'm starting to lose interest.

But I'm not saying all Kpop fans are like that, only some annoying ones.

I guess I'm just listen to my boys and girls

[EunjungMolkang]

There aren't even demanding the truth, they're just demanding a confirmation to their accusations.
They would never acknowledge what our girls say unless it's something like
"Yeah we bullied Hwayoung" They will only believe what they want, which is pathetic.

[ichi-diadem]

Director Cha Eun Taek has the right to said so becase he knows well the members personally. Not like some smartass netizens that judging people but know nothing. Please don't judging people before you know them well personally.

[min young]

watch this guys...i bet u will jealous ha3
hyomin cry but try to comfort her fan + give a hug
person who record this get first hug from hyomin

[SimonH]

He just said whatever I've been trying to tell everyone, but apparently people nowadays do not empathize anymore. The society has all along been breeding distasteful creatures who feed on the sorrows of others.

[AznMunky]

i think this guy is saying what we're all trying to tell to the people that or bashing T-ara right now...

[felliciousz]

he knows our t-ara so well.. and i agree with him! they are being mistreated like this by society. sigh...

[LeeLyRi_2012]

i'm so touched with the director's words...
what he said was really true...how can people judge and accuse young kids as if they know everything

[arralie]

my hearts i sin pain as well as i read this

[min young]

Jeon Mi Seon plays the role of eunjung’s mother in “five fingers” and hyomin’s mother in “one thousandth man”. She said to the press that she’s not even interested in the whole “t-ara incident” thing and was very happy about meeting two lovely young girls.

[Parismoon]

This makes me extremely jealous!! I am sure many of us wished to hug the girls too and give them the support. it's been a tough month but I am sure our girls will learn from this and grow.
