Davichi Reveals Kim Kwang-soo Pressured Them into Collaboration with T-ara and Girls’ Generation

Davichi’s Concert Preparations Highlighted in YouTube Feature

Kang Min-kyung recently shared an engaging video on her YouTube channel that captures the duo of Davichi as they prepare for their upcoming concert. The footage offers an intimate glimpse into their creative process and the nostalgic moments they share while assembling the concert’s setlist.

Nostalgic Reflections on Past Hits

As part of their setlist preparation, both Kang Min-kyung and Lee Hae-ri took a trip down memory lane, revisiting their collaborative track “Blue Moon,” a project that involved fellow artists SeeYa and Black Pearl. A staff member chimed in by expressing, “I still listen to this song,” which prompted Kang Min-kyung to ponder, “Isn’t this one of those ‘hidden masterpieces’?”

Including ‘Wonder Woman’ in the Line-up

Another conversation point among the team was the song “Wonder Woman” from Women’s Generation, a project group comprising members from Davichi, SeeYa, and T-ara. The first album featured Jiyeon of T-ara, while the second included Hyomin and Eunjung. One enthusiastic staff member even exclaimed, “‘Wonder Woman’ has to be part of the setlist. Just hearing it makes my heart race! It’d be fantastic to perform it with dancers, too.”

Untold Stories of ‘My Man’

In a moment of reflection, Lee Hae-ri articulated, “We’ve never performed ‘My Man’ at a concert,” leading Kang Min-kyung to share an intriguing backstory. “When ‘My Man’ was on the verge of hitting No. 1, the CEO told us to stop promoting it,” she revealed. Lee Hae-ri elaborated, saying, “He wanted us to pivot our focus towards Women’s Generation instead.” Kang Min-kyung expressed her discontent, stating, “I really resent the CEO for that.”

CEO’s Controversial Remarks and Recent Revelations

In related news, CEO Kim Kwang-soo resurfaced on MBN’s “Let’s Go GO Season 3,” reigniting discussions around T-ara’s controversial bullying scandal. Former member Hwayoung, who had been largely silent until now, voiced her disbelief about the distortions surrounding the events of a decade ago. She reiterated her claims of being bullied, alleging both verbal and physical abuse from certain T-ara members. Supporting Hwayoung, her sister Hyoyoung and former member Areum lent their voices to the issue on November 18. Areum stated, “Even after I left the group, I’ve consistently spoken out about this, but my words were often ignored. Hwayoung was particularly kind to me, and I was always grateful to her.”

Retention of Silence Among T-ara Members

Adding to the severity of the situation, Hwayoung disclosed, “CEO Kim Kwang-soo was aware of the bullying I faced but chose to ignore it.” Despite these claims, members of T-ara have yet to respond comprehensively.
