There are now reports that the recent KakaoStory conversation involving T-ara‘s Soyeon, Sua, and Yoon Ee Na
looked worse than it actually was. Many fans are alleging that
malicious netizens cropped out other parts of the original conversation
leaving just the negative parts to make Soyeon look bad due to T-ara’s
bullying controversy.
One insider claimed, “I think it became a scandal because [parts
of Soyeon's conversation was edited out.] The conversation wasn’t
directed at any actress or celebrity. It was about an actual stitch on
an acquaintance’s clothing.”
The claim echoes Core Contents Media earlier statements that “Soyeon and Soyeon’s acquaintances were not speaking in regards to a specific celebrity… The
topic of ’Stitch’ came about because the tiger drawing on the shirt of
the brand’s logo resembled ‘Stitch’ the character, and since a graduate
student unni Soyeon knows wears that brand of clothing every time they
meet, that is why they were talking about it.”
It was also revealed that in the original KakaoStory conversation, a
photo of the acquaintance in question was shared. A screenshot of the
full discussion show that the “Angry Sitch” and “Old Stich” comments were not about a person but rather about the crumpled logo on the acquaintance’s t-shirt.
The insider concluded, “It seems like T-ara’s controvery last
year cause hateful netizens to cause problems. I’m really upset that
people are spreading rumors like this and blowing things out of
proportion.”
