This week, various news was delivered to the entertainment industry.

CEO Kim Kwang-soo, who was the head of the group T-ara, has been controversial for re-mentioned discord between members in the past.

It was belatedly known that comedian Kim Byung-man was accused of assaulting his divorced ex-wife and sent to the prosecution.

Let's take a look at the news of the entertainment industry for the week with YTN star Gong Yoo-joo.

CEO Kim Kwang-soo, who led the girl group T-ara, drew attention by mentioning the discord between the members, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's a so-called 'T-ara bullying incident' that has been summoned again in 12 years.

The group T-ara was loved by a number of hits, including "Bo Peep Bo Peep," "Roly Poly," and "Lovely The B."

At the peak of its popularity after debuting in 2009, Ryu Hwa-young, one of the members in 2012, left the team complaining of bullying.

Since then, T-ara has suffered a severe image hit and has been hit by a period of stagnation.

However, the current CEO of MBK Entertainment, Kim Kwang-soo, the head of T-ara at the time, recently appeared on an entertainment show and brought up the story of a Japanese performance that triggered the incident, claiming that the existing members of T-ara were not at fault.

Kim said that as the feud deepened at the time, Ryu Hwa-young and his twin sister, Hyo-young, eventually terminated the agency contract without any strings attached.

However, he said he was sorry for the existing members, saying that his decision sparked rumors of T-ara bullying.

But Hwa-young, the party to the bullying case, refuted this, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Hwayoung joined T-ara as a new member in 2010, but she withdrew two years after this incident and turned into an actor.

Hwayoung officially refuted Kim's remarks, saying it is true that he has been ostracized since he spoke on a recent broadcast,

Hwayoung said, "It is false that I did 'victim cosplay' even though I was bullied during the T-ara days," adding,
As a new member
, he tried to get along with the existing members, but he said he was assaulted and verbally abused.

It is claimed that he had a lot of data to prove bullying, but if CEO Kim kept the facts secret without a press conference, his own sister, who was in the same agency at the time, would also terminate the contract.

I thought it was the best when I was 20 years old, but in the end, I left without an apology and stressed that I have endured 12 years so far.

It was also an issue at the time that Hwayoung's older sister, Hyoyoung, sent threatening text messages to one of the T-ara members,
As the '∀' incident continued to be talked about, Hyo-young also recently said in a long article that it was difficult to endure because her younger brother was being bullied and that she regretted sending such a text to the youngest member at the time.

Comedian Kim Byung-man was accused of assault by his ex-wife, who divorced 10 years ago. What is it about?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's a comedian that comes to mind when you think of "Jungle Entertainment", right?

It was belatedly known that Kim Byung-man's ex-wife A revealed that Kim Byung-man's habitual assault prevented him from continuing his normal marriage.

A sued Kim Byung-man for habitual assault, claiming that the case was sent to the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office after a police investigation in July.

A reportedly submitted 20 medical records together, saying he was assaulted by Kim Byung-man from March 2010 to June 2019.

Kim Byung-man registered his marriage to A, who is seven years older, in 2011 and officially married in March of the following year, but the two divorced in 2020 after 10 years of separation.

Mr. A, who was remarried, had a daughter with his ex-husband.

Regarding the divorce process, Mr. A claimed, "It was a sudden and unilateral notification."

In response to Kim Byung-man saying that he had been separated for 10 years, A said that Kim Byung-man only lived away from home because of his daughter's test life.

[Anchor]
But Kim Byung-man's position is a little different from this.

[Reporter]
Yes, a YTN star was able to confirm Kim Byung-man's position while doing an exclusive interview with Kim Byung-man's legal representative.

Kim Byung-man's side denies the assault.

He stressed that the police had already concluded that there was no charge of assault, and that he was sent to the prosecution with the opinion of non-prosecution.

In particular, on the date of assault claimed by A, Kim Byung-man refuted that he was abroad,
Kim Byung-man wanted a divorce from his ex-wife for another separation, but he filed a lawsuit against her because she did not divorce him,

In the process, he said that A sued him for assault in order to benefit him, and that he claimed the assault damage in the divorce lawsuit, but it was not accepted.

[Anchor]
It also said that his ex-wife is obligated to reimburse Kim Byung-man 3 billion won, what else is this talking about?

[Reporter]
This is also something we covered exclusively.

According to Kim Byung-man, the income before the divorce was fully managed by his ex-wife.

However, if the property is divided due to divorce, A will have to pay about 2 billion won to Kim Byung-man, including interest,
In addition to
, Kim Byung-man explained that the assets that A stole without Kim Byung-man's knowledge amounted to 1 billion won, including interest.

However, for this 1 billion won, Kim Byung-min won the lawsuit for damages and received dividends through the seizure of property.

However, Kim Byung-man said that his ex-wife is holding out that she will give up her rights to 3 billion won to destroy her daughter.

My ex-wife is also raising objections to this, so I think we need to wait and see the trend.

Also, because of the college entrance exam yesterday, the advice and good deeds Song Jae-rim gave to test takers in the past were re-examined,

In 2018, Song Jae-rim volunteered for transportation service for test takers who took the CSAT that year.
