What happened in the 24 hours before Eunjung received news about her leaving "Five Fingers"?

[girlsday.livejournal.com]

At 5:36PM of the 22nd, SBS officially announced that T-ara's Eunjung would be leaving "Five Fingers". Until the previous night (21st), Eunjung was still practising her lines. To her surprise, in less than a day, she received news that she was dropped from "Five Fingers".

What actually happened within this day? Let's summarise what the drama production company, Eunjung, and Jin SeYeon etc have said.

At 4PM on the 21st, Eunjung and the writers met and had a discussion about the drama and the script. Dinner was had alongside this meeting which went on until very late. During the meeting, everybody encouraged each other and expressed their desire to make this drama a success.

Eunjung was scheduled to film her first scene for on the 22nd. She was orginally scheduled to film on the 18th, but because her character Hong Dami appears from the fifth episode, her first filming was delayed until the 22nd.

On the after noon of the 21st, ChangWook joined later in the meeting and practised his lines with Eunjung. In the drama, Ji ChangWook and Eunjung and Joo JiHoon are involved in a love triangle. ChangWook and Eunjung practised their lines for 3-4 hours before separating.

As Eunjung was preparing for her first filming, something unexpected happened. The drama producers late into the afternoon approached Jin SeYeon to see whether she can join "Five Fingers". SeYeon expressed: "If Eunjung is leaving the show, I can appear in the drama." This means that while the writers and producers were encouraging Eunjung, at the same time, they were also approaching other replacement actors with the possibility of dropping Eunjung.

At 12pm noon on the 22nd, news about Eunjung leaving was released. Eunjung's management agency also felt surprised at what had happened within a day. Eunjung after seeing the news remained silent, and her management agency expressed shock.

Netizens have expressed displeasure at the way the producers and SBS have acted inappropriately, at how they gave an unilateral notice of termination when the acting contract had already been signed. Netizens have also expressed disappointment at the production company and at SBS for not fully discuss the situation with Eunjung before discussing Jin YeSeon's joining of "Five Fingers."

drama, drama drama,
but it totally sucks that on the day she's going to record, they tell her they don't want her anymore.

netizens expressing displeasure= the 10 t-ara fans that are left? lol

i have a feeling the production crew was waiting to see if the t-ara scandal would die down. but the negative image that t-ara has right now is still prevalent so it would make sense for them to drop eunjung

[mileyhamasaki.livejournal.com]

t-ara actually still has tons of fans...the loud anti international fans (most didn't even like them in the first place) mean nothing.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

who cares about how SBS handled it? T-ara and their agency brought this unto themselves.

I'm really enjoying this episode of bully beatdown.

[mileyhamasaki.livejournal.com]

cute how you're getting enjoyment out of an all around terrible and sad situation...SICKENING!!!!

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

Don't like her or T-tanic, but that's a sucky way to find out you've been booted.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

I hope she's OK! I can't imagine how terrible she must feel right now. :-(

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

imo sbs could have handled the issue better, dropping her on such a short notice is just douchey.
i can't help but be glad she's out, though.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

at least did she get paid....?

[mileyhamasaki.livejournal.com]

SBS is DISGUSTING!! how can a official network behave like this?



the truth is coming...

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

very interesting video! i know for a fact that hwayoung is not as innocent as she's pretending to be. the truth always reveals itself over time.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Not that I really care for the drama or T-ara but didn't she have a contract with them?

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

LOL Some advice for members of T-ARA, any time a MEETING scheduled you should opt out. >.> shit doesn't go well when they go to meetings.
byeum!

Being dropped isn't nice is it.

[cuethemusicc.livejournal.com]

ouchsizzleburn

[cuethemusicc.livejournal.com]

netizen's opinions flip flops every second. as long as they can be displeased it doesn't matter the issue.

[fancifury.livejournal.com]

poor eunjung. nobody deserves to be treated this way, "bullying" or not.

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

OUCH.... that really sucks

they should have dropped her before it aired..

[ms-rancha.livejournal.com]

[cyannon.livejournal.com]

sorry guys after reading the article and learning that she was supposed to be in a luv triangle i just gotta say...

i'm just glad i dont have to watch eunjung make gross puppy love eyes at JJH on screen...she has this tendency to make them and it always grosses me out. or rather i would just prefer not to see her face near JJH's.

being dropped like that isn't nice but that said she should have been dropped from the start hurhur

[ebenetwo.livejournal.com]

this is perfect timing
i just saw clips of her on WGM and it irritated me to no end that she chews with her mouth half open and talk while she's at it

ew gross close your mouth, even just a lil bit

anyways back on topic
i just want druggie oppa's drama to succeed, sans scandal, so yeah bye eunjung

This. I always had to skip until I saw she wasn't eating at all. It grossed me out too much. Especially because she would smack her lips loudly together as well. Nasty.

She looks so terrible (?) in that photo.

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

it's a photo from the PC
she's basically lifeless during the entire PC, can't even smile and she looks like she's been crying a lot

[blkjck.livejournal.com]

i thought the t-ara drama had blown over
poor thing :(

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

i think if it were anything else other than bullying, it would have. korea has been having a lot of media attention on middle/high schoolers committing suicide from being bullied. shit is not right.

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

sux for her :)

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

just wondering, why does omona have so many trolls?

also loling at the netizens expressing "disappointment". yeah k.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

where? the only one I can think of is qummydino but he's been gone for a while

[45s.livejournal.com]

sux fr her but tbh, all of them need to take a break from everything until some other boy band does something insane.

[colorful-ice.livejournal.com]

LOOOL :D
t-ara are really goiung down
they are going to be suspended soon

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

lmaooo sucks for her but it should have happened from the very beginning anyways. first because the rest of the cast don't deserve to get shitty ratings or get overshadowed with her group drama and second bc viewers shouldnt have to put up with her /acting//. she made me cringe in DH

[colorful-ice.livejournal.com]

bless you

[charlieu.livejournal.com]

Only if she had a bit more determination she could stayed on the show...

[oceandezignz.livejournal.com]

I do believe I see what you did there. Tee hee. XD
