T-ara Bullying Controversy Resurfaces: Hahm Eun-jung Confirms Disagreement with CEO Kim Kwang-soo’s Retro Concept Proposal

Highlights from SBS’s “Dolsing Fourmen”Episode Featuring Hahm Eun-jung

In the November 12 episode of SBS’s popular variety show, “Dolsing Fourmen,”viewers were treated to engaging discussions with special guests, including chef Jung Ji-sun, actress Hahm Eun-jung, and singer Noh Sa-yeon.

Fun Insights on Relationships

Actress Hahm Eun-jung expressed her admiration for “Dolsing Fourmen”cast member Im Won-hee, declaring him as “excellent husband material.”She humorously noted that Tak Jae-hoon would make a good boyfriend, while she described Lee Sang-min as an ideal older brother figure. This light-hearted banter added a playful dynamic to the show.

Public Perception and Personal Growth

Reflecting on her personal journey, Hahm revealed interesting insights on how the public perceives her. Fans often comment that she is more approachable than expected, a stark contrast to her T-ara days when heavy eyeliner and EDM performances dominated her image. Tak Jae-hoon humorously joined in by asking for affirmation of his kindness as a prospective boyfriend, to which Lee Sang-min quipped that Hahm had never dated someone like him.

Lee Sang-min praised Hahm by labeling her the “Queen of Ambition,”referencing her recent success in the drama “Suji & Uri,”which achieved a remarkable 15.9% viewership rating. Hahm noted the newfound support from older fans, contrasting it with her experiences as a K-pop idol. “Now, I’m receiving extra side dishes at restaurants, which is a sign of their care,”she shared.

A Journey from Childhood to Stardom

As she nears her 30th anniversary in entertainment, Hahm Eun-jung reminisced about her early career, which began when she was just 8 years old with the drama “A New Generation of Adults.”Her debut opened doors to collaborations with seasoned actors like Ha Ji-won and Choi Kang-hee. When Lee Sang-min mentioned her determination to feature in dramas even as a child, Hahm confessed that her original dream was to become Miss Korea, highlighting her competitive spirit.

She fondly recalled a pivotal moment during a Pretty Child Competition where she showcased her ballet skills, leading to her eventual transition into acting after impressing the production director with her boldness.

Reflecting on T-ara’s Retro Concept

During the conversation, Hahm also touched upon her time in T-ara, expressing how the group initially resisted the retro concept introduced by their CEO. She recounted a memorable incident when he insisted that the retro style was essential, stating, “I’m from the retro generation. This should be done with the diamond step!”Despite their reluctance, the group went on to produce hits like “Roly Poly,”and soon after, “Lovey-Dovey,”which relied on the popular shuffle dance trend.

Recent Controversies Surrounding T-ara

Amid the retrospective reflections, recent discussions resurfaced regarding past bullying allegations involving T-ara, ignited by CEO Kim Kwang-soo’s comments on the show “Let’s Go GO Season 3.”Following the broadcast, Ryu Hwa-young admitted to being bullied, but other members, including Kwang-soo, have remained silent on the matter.
