Arum, a former member of the group T-ara, indirectly expressed her position regarding Hyoyoung's threatening texts and bullying cases.
A, who is known to be in a relationship with Arum, said on his SNS on the 12th, "Please stop asking me about other members' recent activities related to the group that Arum has been active in the past. What do I know? It's only for the people concerned to know," he said.
He continued, "It's a story from 10 years ago, and Arum doesn't know well, so please stop asking Agro and YouTubers. I just want it to flow on its own, but what is important about the traces that have passed?"

CEO Kim Kwang-soo, who was the head of the T-ara at the time, recently appeared on the MBN entertainment show "Let's Go Go" and mentioned the 2012 T-ara bullying incident. "The T-ara members were victims, but because of my behavior, they became perpetrators," he said. It's the most regrettable thing in the 40 years of Entertainment," he said.
He also tore the contract, saying to Hwa-young and Hyo-young, 'I'll release it without any conditions, so do your job.' The members of the tiara were not at fault," he said.
Hwayoung, a member who withdrew from T-ara at the time complaining of bullying damage, said shortly after the broadcast, "It is true that I was bullied. As a new member of T-ara, I tried to merge with the members with the compulsion not to damage existing members. However, he refuted that the existing T-ara members used numerous abusive language against me along with assault.
Hwayoung's older sister, Hyo-young, reportedly sent text messages to Arum, who was the youngest member of the T-ara at the time, such as "If you don't want to get hit, do it right," "I'll scratch your face so you can't broadcast," and "They (T-ara) should get hit to get their act together."As controversy reignited online
, Hyo-young also recently spoke out. He said, "I heard a shocking word from my brother at the time. In addition to the fact that she was being ostracized by T-ara members, she said, "It's so hard" and "I miss you." The result of trying not to bother my younger brother is my text incident, he said. "I thought it was stupid to send a text message and I still regret it. I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry," he explained.
