Nipslip Incident

Hwayoung's nipslip incident is known through out the web. I think it would be delusional to treat like it has never happened before. It is also something really major to be significant, an example like Janet Jackson would say so. SystemK (talk) 13:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, though I wouldn't want to say anything too specific about her nipslip because I feel like it would be invading her privacy? --Chikazuku (talk) 22:18, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. But the point is to be factual on wikipedia and not attempt to self-censor any contents deemed to be controversial. Hence, the section must stay as it is relevant. In fact even the revealing of age can be considered invading privacy, so writing about her nipslip made no much difference as the pictures are all over the net.

Hwayoung born in People's Republic of China?

Hwayoung was never born in People's Republic of China. SystemK (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Expulsion from T-ARA

So. What do we do about this? The k-pop fandom is exploding - they're insisting it was because Hwayoung was bullied, both Hwayoung and Hyoyoung have made ambiguous tweets, and I notice that the article didn't include the statement CCM made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.142.37.169 (talk) 05:32, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some 22 year old girl has in it for Hwa. :D She is not "former" idol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.89.249.66 (talk) 03:39, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

I'd just like to add that allkpop isn't reliable for information. What they do is post rumors and pick at certain aspects in order to generate a fanbase as a source for facts, even though they're not. I suggest finding some different pages that are more original (less rehashed). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.177.108 (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Collaborations

I was surprised to see that Hwayoung collaborated so much with Untouchable since they are under a different agency. So I gave some of the songs a quick listen and although a person named Hwayoung is featured in these, this person is male so certainly not Ryu Hwayoung. So let's remove this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.31.210.48 (talk) 22:48, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feb. 2017 "bullying" scandal updates

So, as of last night new information has come forwards that it was actually Hyoyoung and Hwayoung who were the "bullies". Please see "Hyoyoung admits to threatening ex-member with violence over KKT", "Former staff of T-ARA states that Ryu Hwayoung and Hyoyoung cosplayed as victims", "Ahreum's Instagram posts in which she confirms the texts are real", "MBK confirms the ex-manager's story of Hwayoung and Hyoyoung's behaviour". In my opinion, this is definitely worth being added to any or all of the pages involved with this incident. I would add them but I'm not sure how impartial I could make things.
