T-ARA Turns Down a Commercial Offer... Why?

T-ARA turned down an advertisement offer from an alcoholic beverage company, shocking internet users.

T-ARA's agency Core Contents Media revealed yesterday, "T-ARA was offered to model for an alcoholic beverage company for an unbelievable amount of money, but they turned it down."

When they were asked for the reason, they said "All of them are official adults except for Areum who is 19, but we found it wrong to encourage drinking within young people by advertising alcoholic beverages."

They also added, "Beside this one, they are planning to turn down any other alcoholic beverage advertisements."

Internet users who saw this commented, "Are they trying to put up a good image," "Was this a right thing to do," and "It is true that idols shouldn't advertise things like that."
