Actor Ryu Hyo-young (stage name Jung Woo-yeon) opened her mouth regarding the past bullying case of Ryu Hwa-young, who is from T-ara, her younger brother.

Ryu Hyo-young said on her Instagram today (11th), "First of all, I am very sorry for causing concern to many people. I posted a lengthy post that began with the words, "I wanted to tell you the story of my brother's bullying incident and my text incident."

He said, "We were about 20 years old at the time. Only my brother and I left our hometown and came to Seoul. I thought there was no adult around me to rely on, so we were each other's only support for each other, he said. "In that situation, I heard a shocking word from my younger brother. In addition to the fact that she was being ostracized by T-ara members, she said, "It's so hard" and "I miss you." The result of trying not to bother my younger brother is my text case," he said.

The text that Ryu Hyo-young mentioned was a warning message he sent to Arum, a member of the group T-ara, which was released online at the time and caused a stir. In the text that was revealed, Ryu Hyo-young told Arum, "Let's go to 'Music Bank' and get dusty." "Wait" and "I'll scratch your face so you can't broadcast."

In this regard, Ryu Hyo-young said, "I thought it was foolish of me to send that text and I still regret it. I apologized the other day for the text I sent to Arum, but I still feel sorry."

At the same time, Ryu Hyo-young said, "There was nothing I could do when I was 20 years old. I was afraid that my younger brother would make a bad choice to let go of his hands and stay still. I think you know that it was my best, which was young and lacking to protect my precious family," he said.

Kim Kwang-soo, CEO of MBK Entertainment (former Core Content Media), who appeared in season 3 of the MBN program "Let's Go GO," which aired on the 9th, said, "The members pushed ahead with the broadcast because they were not at fault, but they faced the biggest crisis." However, after the broadcast, Ryu Hwa-young refuted on social media, saying, "It is true that I was bullied by T-ara members."
