Petition asking for the disbandment of T-ara gains over 71,700 signatures

Good evening Readers!

With more and more individuals growing frustrated over the controversy that first surfaced with the controversial tweets of the T-ara members and the announcement of Hwayoung‘s contract termination with Core Contents Media, criticisms have been pouring in for the girl group.
A petition has even been created online asking for the disbanding of the group, with the title, “Petition for the Disbanding of T-ara“. The petition’s description states, “As a group who does not take the stage seriously, and as a group who is taking the lead in the spread of bullying, a big social problem, we ask for the disbanding of this group. It seems the time has come for T-ara, a group who doesn’t even greet their sunbaes if they don’t believe the other artist to be popular enough, to face the verdict of the public. Please dissolve this group.”
The petition has so far gained over 71,700 online signatures with numbers rising quickly.
Argh..... One part of me do not want T-ara to disband, I just want KKS and CCM to shut down.
Then again, I do not like bullies and meanies.. There are not concrete proof of hwayoung getting bullied by the t-ara members, but i guess it is not hard to link. 
Oh I also found out that T-ara will be not be endorsing products in any marketing campaigns as advertisers have terminated their contract or will not be extending the contract. This is a huge blow for CCM I say as advertising pulls in a huge amount of $$$(money) for the company. 
Then I also found out that Eunjung did not attend VIP showing for "I Am A King" whose is supposedly her senior and her senior expected some support. The reason that Eunjung 은정 did not attend the VIP showing is most probably due to the recent controversy between T-ara 티아라 and Hwayoung 화영. This will shatter the image of her, KKS and CCM as this is a very important event.
Another article i found on korean media sites is that a backup dancer of T-ara reported that Jiyeon 지연 has slapped Hwayoung at backstage/back room. KKS claimed that he(and CCM) has reported this to the korean police but the police reported that there not such report submitted by KKS(CCM). Is KKS faking and lying again ? ._________________________________________________.
Another article stated that KKS has met with the parents of Hwayoung and her twin sister, Hyoyoung. The article mentioned that he explained the situation and again re-emphasized that the termination of Hwayoung is not due to the bullying. Furthermore, it stated that Hwayoung's parents were understanding and wished all the best for T-ara and Hwayoung. However, in my opinion, even if this were the truth, I think no one is going to believe KKS as the claim by him of "T-ara accounts getting hacked" are affecting his trustworthiness. 
Then another article claimed that Hwayoung was responsible for Jiyeon's Bad Attitude. It was mentioned that in 2010 Hwayoung did not obliged to the manager(T-ara's Manager) for preparation of their concert then Hyomin gave her a piece of her mind. STill Hwayoung did not listen then Jiyeon came in and went into a heated argument with her. After that, it claims Jiyeon was showing attitude while performing.
Here's the videoWell, what I can say I do not know if this is true or not because neither the members nor hwayoung told the media this. 

As much as i really want to say this. . . . I want to say that i seriously don't like Kim Kwang Soo 김광수 a.k.a KKS and CCM. . . . I am not anti-tara and I can't bear to anti-t-ara . . . I just have a neutral feeling towards them now. . . . It means I do not love them anymore but last time i love them as a hardcore fan . . . Bought not all but most of their albums . . . .

This is why Korean groups have a hard time making it in America. The fans don't give the artists enough room to breathe, therefore creating a situation where the companies have to over-compensate for small issues or halt the artists activities. This only makes the managing companies self-conscious, creating an environment where they control everything about the artist and the music they put out. I feel like people forget that music is an art....not just a subject to be taught and emulated, but created. Let me put it this way, what if Vincent van Gogh was told never to paint because he was a little crazy? What if Shakespeare's writings were never passed on because he was most likely homo/bisexual? What if no one listened to the Beatles or Nirvana because of their partying and drug use? Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z? Do you think that there would have ever been a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Tiger Woods if people didn't let Jackie Robinson play sports because of his skin color? I'm not saying that I think T-ara is the next "Michael Jackson", but if those people I listed deserve to be remembered through far more controversial situations; then I believe that T-ara can be left alone. Especially because as far as anyone knows, maybe Hwayoung deserved to be treated badly. Maybe she was hurting the team chemistry and being lazy. I'm not saying she was, merely saying that no one really knows, so why would you call for their disbandment? It seems really selfish and borderline childish because if they end up being forcibly disbanded, than you would be bullying T-ara in the same way that you "thought" T-ara was bullying Hwayoung.....excluding them and getting them kicked out. How does that make sense or fix anything? I'm not saying this as a T-ara fan, but as a fan of Korea. And being Korean-American I'd hope that we'd be able to set a good example to not just the music companies but the kids as well, that maybe it's better to reach out to someone with the palms of your hand....before you swing at someone with the backs of them.
