3. T-ara’s bullying scandal being false 

T-ara got involved in a huge scandal when netizens started believing that former T-ara member Hwayoung was getting bullied by the other members. Some netizens started to gather evidence, and one of them was a moment when Eunjung “forcefully” fed a rice cake to Hwayoung.
