T-ara's official fan cafe, "Citrine" has been forced to shut down after it's been revealed that the operator was revealed to have embezzled over 10 million KRW (8470 USD) from cafe members.
"Citrine" had disappeared recently by being shut down, but no news or reason why were announce. The almost 30,000 fan cafe members took to various portal sites wondering why the withdrawal took place.
In fact, if you go to the cafe's address (http://cafe.daum.net/skydancedye) it reveals that it's been set to private for the operator only and you're not able to apply to join the membership.
Fans found out today the real reason why it was forced to shut down. The operator had been stealing money from fan cafe members that had donated towards gift and presents for T-ara. They money that she embezzled she kept to herself.
More information is developing, but it's been revealed there was three people operating the cafe, all of which were forced to withdrawal from maintaining. According to netizens, the main operator was only in high school causing a more serious impact to the situation.
Many netizens and fans are mad that the operator degraded the members and T-ara like this. They're all also confused what'll happen next and they are also criticizing T-ara's agency saying that they don't care for fans by letting this happen.
Netizens said, "For now we can look at T-ara's official website until their agency provides support," "The OFFICIAL fan cafe, what do you mean it will be closed?" "High school makes this even worse TT__TT" "Now where do we go?"
