Even with the bullying rumors, girl group T-ARA is still working on their scheduled activities.

On August 14, member Hyomin was seen at the sitcom press conference. She wore all black with no expression on her face. They asked that they only ask questions about the sitcom, but reporters still asked about the 'T-ARA crisis'. 

Hyomin commented, "This conference is for all the actors and staff who have worked hard for this sitcom. Please refrain from asking questions other than the drama."

On August 16, Eunjung attended the press conference for her drama as well. She also wore a black outfit with a calm expression on her face. 

Both Hyomin and Eunjung wore black outfits and a blank expression on their faces. Hyomin even teared up during her press conference.

T-ARA's agency tried to clarify Hwayoung's dismissal with comments such as, "There was no bullying involved" and "We let her go for her own good." These comments did nothing but anger the public even more.

The recent car accident with Soyeon was even claimed to be fake.

Recently on a website, a poll was created with the title, "What do you think of the 'T-ARA crisis'?" Out of the 2,715 votes, 87.3% chose 'There was Bullying' and 12.7% chose 'I will believe the agency's statement'. 

With close to 90% believing that there was bullying, there seems to be no point of them trying to clarify or show tears. 

With the public turning their backs on them, it was not right for the agency to 'clarify' things on their own without T-ARA there as well.

T-ARA's side might think that the public is not fair by asking them the truth when they have already clarified it. However, to the fans and the public, they need to hear a reasonable answer to the truth.
