On July 29th, T-ara members Eunjung, Jiyeon, and Hyomin guested on YTN’s ‘News and Issue – Issue and People’. They were asked a variety of questions, however, a particular question caught the viewers’ immediate attention, as it involved their feelings about their company, Core Contents Media.
YTN’s anchorman Lee Kwang Yeon asked them, “Are you more afraid of your parents or your company?”
Maknae Jiyeon answered, “I think we are more scared of our company. The company manages the members in a very strict manner. Of course we don’t get enough sleep, but some times they forget to provide us meals.”
Eunjung then stated, “Jiyeon frequently has to ask for meals. I think its because we are so busy that the company has no opportunity to feed us.”
The group was then asked about the strict diets that many girl groups are put through. Eunjung answered, “We have a separate period for diets. When we diet, we faithfully follow it, but when we don’t, we eat to our delight. These days, instead of being forced, we have the choice to do what we want.”
At the end of the interview, the anchorman asked, “Won’t your company CEO scold you after he sees this?”, to which the girls replied, “It’s okay.”
