The netizen who claimed to be T-ara‘s former backdancer earlier this year and fanned the flames of alleged bullying within the group has been detained at Gangnam police station.

The Gangnam police station’s cyber crime team announced that “netizen A”, who allegedly wrote that Jiyeon slapped Hwayoung for a small mistake during practice, is being accused for defamation of character. However, netizen A is claiming that he simply spread the rumor, and that he was not the writer of the original post.

A representative from the police station stated, “After [rumors of] Hwayoung being bullied came out, the news spread instantly, and because the original post was deleted, it took a long time [to investigate]. We were unable to find the originator of the post. Because it’s still an ongoing investigation, we can’t reveal any more details.”

The cyber crime team explained, “Whether the statements by the person who misrepresented himself as T-ara’s backdancer are fact or fiction, because the statements could have had made [the group's] image suffer, it’s possible that maliciously spreading the post could be considered defamation of character.”

allkpop, asiatoday

The truth always reveals itself in the end. Let's hope the rest are finally hunted down by the police!

so if that's the case doesn't that mean it might not be netizen A and he could be telling the truth

Thing is , no one knows if the original post is true, then in that case this 'backup dancer' could be spreading false rumours taken from the original post. Given how quickly false information/half-truths can spread in online communities and how even the mainstream media can spread lies all the time, I wouldn't count on the original article to be true either

tbh, whether or not the backdancer is found guilty or not, the truth is that there are a lot of other reasons why rumors of bullying came out, and as much as ccm would like to drag this on, i don't think the general public cares anymore and dragging this on will only increase the indifference to the group

I'm surprised so many of you are acting like this is completely unnecessary.

I know there are bigger issues within kpop that need addressing like saesangs, but that doesn't mean this doesn't deserve attention. To the members of T-ara this rumor (if it was a lie) really did damage to their reputations and career. Besides dealing with scorn from netizens and probably even people they met at schedules/in their daily lives, I'm sure many people who were going to offer them work changed their mind.

If someone at my work started a rumor about me, and because of that rumor my coworkers treated me differently, and I didn't get a promotion or something because of it, I would be insanely angry! That person would deserve to be punished, because my ability to succeed effected.

Tbh, it's going to be hard to blame all that on the one dancer. I don't think they're even going in with the intention of winning (they'll settle and the dancer will get community service since obvs they got no money), but just to prove a point no one cares about.

Tough case but like, kinda pointless as kks did the most damage to their careers than this rumor.

Incidentally, it doesn't have to be a lie for someone to be charged with defamation of character in the Korean justice system. So just because this is happening doesn't mean that the rumor wasn't true.

MORE INJUSTICE TO THE VICTIMS OF T-ERRORS BULLYING

this brave soul was doing nothing but telling the TRUTH. trying to end the bullying spread by t-error members like Jiyeon

but no. the hands their equally as deceptive and treacherous CEO has no doubt paid off some police members to arrest and submerge the truth in his vileness!

Sisters and brothers, dongsaengs alike, my people! if you crave, if you long, if you THIRST for justice, you will join me in my cause for RIGHTEOUSNESS. for too long, my dongsaengs, for too long as this evil been allowed to spread, it's creep now spread along the law, a law that was supposed to be for justice. but now it serves a lower master, that of greed, that of hatred, that of CCM.

WELL I SAY NO MORE. WE WILL HAVE JUSTICE FOR HWAYOUNG. WE WILL SEE THE TREACHEROUS T-ERROR PUT TO SHAME AND PUT TO JUSTICE.

i hope SOMETHING comes from this. whether the bullying rumors are true or if it was all a lie.
i guess the unfortunate thing is if it was all lies, then there will always be people out there who refuse to accept the truth. and if it's not lies then ... well, those girls are the ones that have to live with themselves.
