T-ARA Talks How They Used to Hide Phones from Managers
On the Mar. 23 episode of the tvN show "On & Off," the girls of T-ARA are seen having a pajama party in member Jiyeon's new home. As they eat delivery food together, the girls reminisce about their time together as an active girl group.
"Do you guys remember? We were not allowed to use phones, but we would go out and rent a phone after our phones were taken away by the staff," Hyomin revealed.
Qri responded to her, saying, "Oh yeah! I got caught using a rented phone after a staff member found it in my drawer."
This caused Jiyeon to laugh and revealed that she, too, was caught with a cellphone, despite hiding it in such a secretive place!
She narrated, "I used to hide it in my underwear, but I still got caught doing that. It was really hard to hide a rented phone when we had female managers. They used to check everywhere, even in my body, to find it. They were so strict."
