"It just like you want me to choose between my dad & mom, who I want to die first!"

Heartbreaking….(╥﹏╥) Hwayoung is my 2nd bias after Hyomin and I shipped HwaMin like crazy after Subyung so I'm speechless right now. It just like you want me to choose between my dad & mom, who I want to die first!

From a Hyomin fan on Tumblr, last Monday, hearing that Hwayoung was fired. Post claims that the site will stop regular blogging. Fortunately, it has instead become an excellent resource for the debunking of rumors about T-ara:

As for the rumor-making itself, of course it's appalling and makes me sad. Nonetheless, I'm intrigued that so many people, many going in without bad will towards T-ara, some being fans, are willing to believe ugly evidence that even on first glance seems obviously fabricated or taken out of context.

I'd not yet made it to the T-ara of reality and variety shows, concentrating my fandom on the T-ara of song and dance. This post gives a nice feel of a fan immersed in the former as well as the latter, the warmth aroused: "no more Hwayoungie that act like a cute puppy who want attention from her unnie and keep showing her love to Hyomin just like how Hyomin want Sunny attention and love all this time."

OK, I'm not immediately up for a full episode of a show called "Hello Baby," but here it is for when I'm ready:

Watch on YouTube

[UPDATE: YouTube's now put the kibosh on that vid, but there are several other uploads of "Hello Baby Ep 2 with Eng Sub" that are still working.]

This transcribes very little of it. Looking around the Net I saw more, though I'm too sleepy to remember what I saw but Soyeon comes off somewhat better, at least is good at expressing sadness at missing the good times, while not pretending there were no bad times. Of course, she can't get specific about the latter.

She was in a car accident the next day, doesn't seem to have been badly hurt, but some Netizens came through with typically spiteful commentary (some called it karma, some claimed that KKS had caused it in retaliation for the interview, some claimed KKS had staged it to build sympathy towards T-ara).
